    Jasper pre-beta available

    That would be greatly appreciated. I believe that I clicked on everything I could possibly do to get it connected to IB, but to no avail. I will try it again, later today. As far as Tws.ocx is concerned I am using the latest TWS build that I installed anew just the last weekend, so it should be...

    i don't like traditional initial stops

    2 pts is not enough for any serious strategy except scalping where it is probably too much. Some of my strategies use 6 pt stop-losses. Know what to expect from your strategy. It is the strategy that should tell you when to exit and not anything else. If the strategy does not tell you that, you...

    Jasper pre-beta available

    I don't know why. I do get quotes via SierraChart and via Auto Trader, but not via Bracket Trader and your software. I tried at least 3 times, each time downloading and installing your software anew. It does not even try to make a connection to IB unlike SierraChart or Auto Trader. Why is it...

    Limit versus Market Orders for Eminis

    Gee... I wish I read that sooner. That's what happened to me when using Auto Trader. I meant to sell, but ended up buying. Noticed that the market was moving against me so to close my position I bought again (thought I sold) and ended up with 2 contracts. The PL was getting even more negative so...

    Beers and Smoke before or while trading

    You think it would give you some advantage? Perhaps, but considering that even being completely drunk I still have at least a 50% chance of being right on the market direction, I would not reccomend you fading my moves. Find something better. Still, I don't drink when trading... yet?

    Is intraday timing of tops and bottoms method known by anyone?

    This has some value. Good times for a reversal: 11:30 (2 hours into the session), 12:45 (half of the session passed), 14:00-14:30 (the last two hours to go). Quite freqeuntly you can see 12:45 reversals, the intraday chart is then pretty symmetric.

    IB programmers have a thing or two to learn

    Here is what happened. I installed the newest standalone build of IB TWS. When logging, it was getting a complaint that I was using an old Java Plug-in 1.3 instead of 1.4. Well, the truth is I had both on my computer and it was never a problem for any other Java based applications I use...

    The Importance of Simplicity

    Someone mentioned here Vic Spearandeo. He indeed is a great master of simplicity, but also one of those who did a great deal of decent statistical research. A lot can be learned from his books unlike from the books of Tom DM and other 'New Age' researchers who so much abhor statistical analysis.

    The Importance of Simplicity

    Sorry, wanted to attach a gif file, but it did not work out... Don't know why. Tough, too tired, will try again later in the morning.

    The Importance of Simplicity

    Just one to illustrate my point. This is the first half an hour bar and what follows as seen in detail through 3 min bars. The date is 11/05/02. You can see that there is a nice uptrend (the 5 MA (red) crosses over 13 MA (violet)) and there is a clear pullback (retracement) to the 60 FR...

    The Importance of Simplicity

    Oh, that's simple... because only one mind can create simplicity. Yet all the ideas added to the original simplicity of Natalie and Mike are not necessarily bad, they just need to be synthesized properly. For instance, 60% FR. They would work great and I have pictures to support this from...

    IB TWS Demo Problems

    there is a standalone demo? Is that true, or do you just mean the regular TWS which can be used as a demo with an appropriate user ID and password, the one you mentioned. Please explain. Thanks, wally_

    IB TWS Demo Problems

    And screw that again... When I have to quote myself, either I am becoming a classic or the problem is getting classical... I am afraid it's the latter. Plus, I hate repeating myself. No progress after almost an hour since I started downloading this thing.

    Dual monitors so simple

    Cheap!? You could have had it for half that price. For still less than $105 I am running 3 monitors on a very old Compaq computer (over 2 years) with Windows 98 SE and it smokes!
