    "The Investor" AKA The poor man's hedge fund

    Judging from your "Wall Street Wizards" journal, you could make millions becoming such an investment advisor!

    IB Bundled vs Unbundled Pricing.

    Does anybody know if a OPG MARKET order is considered adding or removing liquidity @ IB? I am guessing removing because it might hit another traders ask in the opening cross but I would like clarification.

    Cramer's Mad Money Calls

    Yup I do have access. The numbers I posted above are from yesterday. I am not sure what they changed in the portfolio system or their internal "accounting rules" but the performance in itself looks horrible already. If these are beautified numbers then it's even worse. One thing I notice...

    Impact on stock price of your trade

    But isn't it amazing to think what effect all these little 1 lot orders can have eventually? It's like the tornado in the Caribbean caused by the draft of a butterfly in China. Did you ever consider that when you bought/sold that stock the other day this might have led to the margin call of...

    Your attempts to make yourself look mature are so blatant they actually look a bit funny. Let me guess: Now you are 24?

    Wizard of Wall Street Oct-Nov Edition

    One day you will learn you will not make money with "stock picks" and your "gut feeling". I don't have any picks for the next 3 months, I barely have some for the next 3 days. I don't care where the market goes and what sectors go up and down or what companies go bankrupt.

    Trading Journal Metrics

    For myself, I look at two numbers in my report that define historic risk levels: 1. Max Drawdown %/ ROIC % 2. Profit Factor (Avg. Winning Trade $ / Avg. Losing Trade $) As long as these are within my boundaries I can sleep well.

    Do I need Esignal or similar?

    I use Esignal just for its datafeed. I find their software horrible. The charts look like its 1997. In answer to your question: Is your current setup MISSING anything? What do you need to implement your current strategies and trading style? Nobody NEEDS Esignal if they are profitable and...

    IB: OPG MARKET orders on NYSE causing "INVALID ORDER" in TWS

    I issue around 50-90 orders for stocks to be executed at MARKET PRICE in the opening cross on NYSE + NASDAQ/SUPERSOES with Interactive Brokers. Every day approx. 1-5% of all order get cancelled (Status color "red" in TWS) during or shortly after the opening cross. The way it happens is the...

    Wizard of Wall Street Oct-Nov Edition

    Are you trading at all? Or just "observing"? Why not post some real world trades and results like others - instead of philosophizing about the IFs and WOULDs.

    Why don't more people trade index futures?

    Remember most people start with non-margin accounts. They can't trade futures or short stocks. Look at how quickly QID picked up volume. Not everybody makes the transition to futures from there. Some find a method that works for them with (long only) stocks/ETFs and stick with it, even as...

    Sorry guys no chance for a down day

    I don't think we will ever close down within the next 6-7 months. I am leveraged long 200% on ES mini futures and just booked a carribean cruise. Will come back in 8 weeks and check my gains. Won't be able to check my stats from aboard the ship though. The shorts will get crushed!
