A long time ago I started a thread where we could give IB feedback with which to improve the TWS. Since then, IB has come a long, long way (who could imagine charts?). Maybe its time to start another thread along the same lines. Please let us know if you have any ideas on how IB can improve...

Thanks Don. :)

I would be careful about using the unfiltered NYSE breadth data to draw inferences as it contains around 40% non operating company securities (closed end funds, munis, bonds, etc.).

I've been wondering about this also. But Trade-ideas gives me a headache everytime I try to look at it long enough to make heads or tails of it. Too many psychedelic colours and doodahs. RealTick's Hottrend was really nice when I took it for a spin a few years ago but I'm too cheap to pay...

What exactly is hard about coming up with picks? He just randomly picks stuff out of the air, like his recent DKS before earnings. It could have gone either way, he just wants to be in the middle of the action, buy/sell, win/lose. He just wants attention and ratings by pandering to the lowest...

Since when hasn't poor taste equalled success in tv land? All those bachelor/ette shows, reality shows, crass talk shows, etc. Its just pandering to the lowerst common denominator. Its a clear indication of Cramer's character. Would you catch Jim Grant, Fleckmeister, Todd Harrison, etc. dead...

Don (or other execution experts), would you care to clear this up once and for all: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=54277 Thanks.

Look guys, whether right or wrong...I'm right and ... you're wrong. :D btw I'm also long THY.un (TSX) but this one did have big daddy volume - I'm agnostic, I just want a trend.

gazmax, thanks for the reply. Ideally, I would like to know what the rules are under all possible conditions, pre/post, NYSE, Nasdaq, internally matched by ARCA (or other ECN like ISLD I've heard can also let you short on uptick), externally matched (short initiated through ARCA but routed...

wabrew, w all due respect, you're making a mountain outta molehill. It was a normal move both in volume and price (normal as in not outside 2nd std deviation of ATR). I'm a TA guy so I don't give a flying leap what UBET does. The move looks totally unsuspicious to me but you may want to call...

aaah, I should have clarified this. I'm greedy, so ideally, I'd like to know for both conditions, regular market hours and pre/post.

I did have problems actually with TWS installed and started a ticket. I think it was just my computer acting up but we'll see.

I've read all the threads and posts (searched ARCA uptick) and I'm really confused about something that has been talked about ad naseum here. That is, whether an ECN - ISLD and ARCA are often named - allows you to sell short with no regard for an upbid or uptick. Some say that the ECNs...

IB charts lag? by up to a minute?! This is news to me.

dave, could you be specific? I don't see what you're referring to. Did youread his site? he explains how you're supposed to interpret it - his version atleast. btw I'm long VNG.un (TSX) from around $10.80 (Aug 9). Just dipping my toes in this new concept of no volume (or atleast lacking...

wasn't there a Hawaiian guy here who traded the open gap (journal)? personally, I think its wise to newbies to stand aside or to watch. Obviously the pros don't because its volative(=$$$).

We can add Belkin to the bearish camp. He's calling for a slow top being carved out now with drip/drop into Sept with VIX/VXN rising hand in hand. Rallies should be sold (he's rooting for a rise just a tad above prev high for clients to sell into). Keep in mind this is for inst. clients who...

trendfader, thanks for the link. The article in the June issue of TASC caught my eye. Looks very interesting. Now that's a novel take on volume, eh? :)

spyder, just wanted to give you respect for putting it all out here so clearly (incl. your personal trades). It takes lots of guts and I wish you the best. Just a small comment. It seems to me that you might be limiting your potential list of playable stocks. Do you feel this way or are...

Some have pm'ed me wondering about this book I mention. I got the title wrong, its "How to take money from Wall Street" by Tony Oz
