I went looking under Options/Edit preferences/Multi day timeframes and found that it is set to US equities, 9:30am to 4pm. The unusual problem is that any changes to that setting will not stick. ie: if i chose 24/7 and click OK, it will revert back to US equities if I go and look back on it...

yes, that's exactly what it is set to, cme:globex. the only difference i see, is that NQ, which was working for me was set to default (last day only), whereas ES, which wasnt working was set to always show pre/after market, but I dont think that was the problem. Like I say, it's all worked...

today, I have backfill with IB for QT for some globex symbols , but not all, like for NQ but not ES. I contacted IB and they said it's the first they had heard of it today. I really doubt that it's QT as none of my settings have changed. The other odd thing is that when this happens, I'm not...

London, Ontario here.

Hi to all. Never thought I'd be discussing this subject on a trading message board. Finding out that I have sleep apnea just may be the greatest turning point in my life, becoming a disciplined trader will hopefully be the next. :) It's nice to see that when one mentions OSA that folks...

I am also looking to find historical data. Specifically, all I am looking for right now is 30 min data, ascii, comma separated for NQ, or ES. I have data going back to end of last July, so only just over 3 months worth. Any suggestions for obtaining 30 min data for one or both of those...

I'd like to get an idea how many NQ points people are using in their trailing stops, please participate! LP

I dunno...it seems the ASX isnt going sideways everyday....the right side of the chart resembles the nasdaq in the same way the TSX (toronto) resembles the nasdaq (and its resource based). The worlds biggest economy has put a damper on most other economies. I wasnt saying "watch what the ASX...

Oh ya, I used to joke around that , "maybe we should surprise attack......they don't even know we're here!" LP

As a Canadian, watching US television, I must say for years i noticed that US weather maps used to only have the states on there...no Mexico, no Canada...it looked like the US was an island...and when N. Am. maps finally emerged, we (Canada) were that pink area in the north with no label. :)...

yes , i have noticed the opposite can be true....if there is some sort of big after hours news in the US , the aussie market will lead. LP

I've been watching that SPI also...too bad with IB you cant get any market depth yet....but i was thinking about trading it after a day-job....it seems also there my be advantage in my opinion as the SPI will move similar to the major US markets...and only 3 hrs after it closes....today for...

Ive seen this option before, Ive used it before...but lately I cant find it anymore! Heres a screenshot of what i see...could someone tell me where to go to find this feature? many thanks, LP

sorry, i guess you can see my account only through the software....here's a screenshot then, attached. LP

if you are trading futures, eg. e-minis...there is a free demo that logs your trades and gives stats so that when you paper trade you wont be able to say "well, i wouldnt have really made that trade if it had been real money..." its here : http://www.pfgbest.com/simulated_trading/index.asp...

I absolutely agree with all thats been said. I believe I've finally turned a corner in my trading just 4 weeks ago. Basically, i was down to my last. Ive been giving this a go for 6 years, but it took for me to get right down to nothing. I took on debt to feed my habit of trading...the...

Ya , but how do you prove that? I know nothing of fundamental analysis. All I know is that a balance sheet is apparently supposed to balance....:) But one can prove that they've lost money for 6 years out of their account...or on their capital losses...but what is that? More ammo for them? So...

Wow, are we ever an insignificant number arent we...then why was it worth changing in the first, eh? Why do they feel they need to protect and save such an insignificant number then? Shouldnt they be making policies that affect the needs of the many? Why are they wasting their time with us in...

That IS my point , why should i be kept from "giving it a whirl"? Who am i hurting if I've signed all the waivers? Just me. As far as experience goes......its like saying "you cant have the job without experience.....but you cant get experience without the job!!" . So let the little guy get...

thanks for the heads up , taodr, that may be the solution. LP
