Regarding your possible fees the answer is easy - you have a detailed report of all fees and past fees in acct mgmt and that at least is clear. On another forum they told me that I must have traded something in euro sometime in the past. Maybe I did, years ago. Then they said - I must have...

All of a sudden I discovered this beautiful feature: accrued interest. Whenever I looked at my monthly IB statements I always saw "accrued interest = -5" or "accrued interest = -10" dollars, but I thought it was just some detail I would never understand... and that there was no way that IB would...

Trailing stops. 10 ticks less than the trade's highest gain and it exits.

Thanks to Mark for the link. I know you want me to share more of my strategy in order to help me, but I am only capable, in terms of time, effort and faith in people, to explain as much as I have. I'll see in the future, maybe I will be like you, sharing things more than I do now. Thanks to...

Yes, there are good systems out there, Mark. You are right, but you don't know which ones they are, and that's because no one (on this forum either) ever comes and tells you - this is how my system works and i made this much money with it. So I will behave just like everyone else on this forum...

Age, over 30. Country, Italy. Work, not full time. I work at a bank, that is why I needed an automated system.

I am online during the week, between 6 pm and 10 pm European Central time. Tell me a day and an hour and we can meet, better in the weekends. It's too complicated to answer all these questions on a forum.

Are you kidding me? How much are you paying me to answer all these questions? Besides, I am not going to tell you exactly how my system works. Lastly, I already told you to meet me on msn messenger so we can discuss things more easily instead of sending questions and answers back and forth.

I want to think out loud about my strategy and if anyone has any ideas about it please let me know. Also I want to clarify it to myself. This strategy, more or less, intermittently, makes money, but that is not the point. Let's think about why it should make money, and if it's likely to make...

This is what I finally found out for the years 2000-2005, speaking of highs and lows and when they happen. Future studied is YM, Ecbot Mini Dow Jones, 15 minute time frame, EST. As you can see in the snapshot attached, highs and lows start happening beginning at 8.30 EST, and they continue...

I see that you are in Europe, by the time you use in the chart. What you did is exactly what I was looking for, but to simplify I said "the day's high/low". In truth, I was looking for swings. I see the "U-shape" that the article I listed the link for is talking about. If I find anything else...

Has anyone ever done any research on this - at what time does the daily high/low happen? I have some YM data, but it doesn't seem too reliable and, also, I can't figure out a formula to compute it with excel. Is there a link where I can find out some facts about it? I am talking about...

I take it all back. Everything was solved. I uninstalled everything. Then I reinstalled TWS, then I installed API BETA (over the previous API). Now everything is working perfectly, without even any overflow messages when sending orders. Download links: TWS...

I have tried both API versions, API 9.10 or API beta 9.20, and when I enter an order in TWSdde.xls, then press the button "place order", it doesn't return any errors, and yet it doesn't send any orders out to TWS either. How is it possible that, I am not saying my own excel sheet, but even IB's...

Now I see what the misunderstanding was coming from, also as far as the second post. Why are you both taking for granted that Pivots are the only kind of Support and Resistance? As I explain with my formula, I believe in Support and Resistance, and I get the values from Highs and Lows, but I...

Make sure you are standing on a pedestrian crossing if you don't know what people are driving at. Just kidding. My license has expired years ago, so I am not driving at anything. I didn't answer any of my own questions. My questions are near these symbols: "?". I want to know if people care...

I don't believe in pivots. I want to know who agrees with me in using the following formula (or something similar) to find supports and resistances for intraday trading of any major CME future - long near support, short near resistance. Ingredients: Today's High and Low: H, L. Yesterday's...

"to put it simply..."? Sorry, but I didn't understand very much. I've come on this page repeatedly, and each time I tried to understand your post, so I could reply something, but I couldn't. Will you please summarize it in one sentence, down-to-earth?

Thanks to both of you.

Mail2smitty, congratulations, as you are one of the few people who actually understood exactly what I was talking about. Your idea sounds just right, because I want to understand the nature of the choppiness, the zigzagging of the day as it evolves. I am not trying to predict today. I am just...
