Note: TWS 843.7 java 1.4.2_04 Later today when HSI i closed and the backfill doesnt work I will do one experiment I failed to try ... upgrade to the latest version of TWS and see if anything is different.

Excellent to hear thanks.

Jerry. I started with the system time at GMT+10. I started the software. It didnt work. I exited the software. I changed it to GMT-5. I restarted the software. It did work. The issue isnt your software or SierraCharts which are both performing just fine (except in combination...

One further experiment. If I start IB TWS on GMT+10 and then change the clock to GMT-5 (TWS still retains the GMT+10 time zone) then the fault remains. If TWS is restarted to change to the GMT-5 zone then the fault disappears.

In this post I pointed out a problem I was having with backfill from Sierrachart: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=747399#post747399 The problem is that I am at GMT+10 (Australia) and this is after the time of the two exchanges I download data from .... Globex in...

I was going to suggest that you need to assess the risk more clearly in day trading because a 2 point stop might gap by 2 or 3 extra points in the worst case whereas in eod trading you might have a 30 point stop so a gap of 2 or 3 extra points matters relatively little. For example on HSI my...

Buddatop, I don't know how you train yourself at the moment but you might want to try a type of interval training. When I learnt to type the program did speed then accuracy ... and by going back and forth improved both faster. Perhaps 1 day a week (your most "with it") you could psych up...

Nitro, Isn't the issue here the same as when you try to compete with anyone bigger/stronger/faster/more skilled than you on their own terms. You have to change the game. My approach to computers is the same as my approach to manipulators and other major player groups --- try to be aware of...

Suggestions on IB Charts. Some of these may already be in the latest version, I stay back a few versions for stability reasons. Tick charts (1-XXX ticks per bar) Full range of times down to 30 second bars Save study collections (at least 10 different ones) and have the study collection...

Thanks Jerry, I will pass that on.

IBSoft, thats great. 1 week of backfill will be superb for those times when you're away a few days. I have a problem with the current version. Let me give you SierraChart Admin's answer and then my question: Kiwi, IB does not accept any date or time information in the historical...

The rules were that beginners should await close of the bar. As you advanced then the last 20 seconds was considered ok and with time some would anticipate quite agressively sometimes. Woodie himself has been know to anticipate by 2 1/2 minutes on a 3 minute bar :-) Woodie said that you...

Personally I like their customer support. And I like the fact that they will respond to questions here. But I have yet to ask a question that requires a lawyer to answer it.

Bill, If you want to avoid the perception that you might be spamming the board its a good idea to post only once. I am not familiar with this product but if one is buying systems a great place to start is futures truth. They are not perfect but will give you a lot more information on...

Tripack, Having done a lot of statistical testing in the past I support what you say about smoothness not proving that the system will not fall of its edge and fail in future. A change in market volatility, say, can collapse a wonderfully smooth system. I also partially agree with the...

Thanks John, I'll write a little something to chart it in SierraChart and watch it for a few weeks to see if it speaks to me.

http://www.ninjatrader.com/ This is a great product. Fast. Simple to use. Big clear interface. Makes Trading Easier. And as complex in its function (if you want to go there) as you could want. I'm a cheapskate (IB and Sierrachart) but gladly pay for Ninja. Ray is helpful and will...

I trade the HSI and was trading the Globex Euro (6E) contract. In the case of euro during european hours large volume was a sign of manipulation and you could build unconventional setups on it. In the case of HSI, everything is manipulation, and volume is not very useful at all to me. A...

I second that. This can be the first one in "Stupid Threads." This guy's the real thing - and an english teacher. His warm humble personality just inspires the creation of a new category.

LMAO :D I guess you didn't reread your own posts if you don't see why people are having fun at your expense. I assume that my invitation to be specific wasn't the post you felt was helpful. Was it the always urbane and helpful martys? Perhaps it was Blackmonday, who in fact offered...
