And that did not move the market? I though in the Pits everyone was watching everyone else.

I was wandering this myself ... when you go so deep into options theory is it something that retail guy can ever take advantage of ... or is it only big MM type firms with HFT tech?

I think you answered your own question.

Start programming a simple script to receive data and sending orders to IB. Once you have to that, add logic to read emails. Or find someone to program it for you. https://codehandbook.org/how-to-read-email-from-gmail-api-using-python/ I agree with Robert that is an overkill, but a good...

If your avg win is 5 points, what would your avg loss be?

K, I'll shut up and just observe for a while :)

I'm sorry for asking dumb questions, but how can someone be Delta neutral yet outperform a trending market? How long are these horizons for this to happen - 30 to 50 years?

For such low frequency strategy, couldn't you simply generate email alerts from your existing platform and have a script which reads email looking for specific command and uses API to send orders? Problem solved!

When you say that you are trying to beat benchmarks, it sounds like you are talking absolute rather than risk adjusted returns. Did I misunderstand?

If you are referring to @TheBigShort commente as being snarky, I have same concern. How small can you keep it and yet make it meaningful?

So your idea of monetizing is to pay monthly fees to paper trade your strategies? Do you have any stats you can share? Maybe people on this forum will get interested. You can send email to these guys, I have received solicitations to use their platform. Not a recommendation, just a possible...

Scale out! Don't turn winner into looser. Trading one lot is very hard, so be happy your entry was spot on. Obviously, no right answer but you have to find acceptable compromise.

Any plans to allow IB data feed? @Zohaibmajeed, if you just missing TnS, can't you just use one of the free platforms like ToS, detach that single window and stick it next to TWS? I know it's not ideal, but simple work around.

Ok, I agree that it is complete ... You can make it work. But I would not be comfortable running fully automated. For example, if they add a new error code and I miss handling it, my code will break. I expect API to be explicit. OrderRejected ( orderID, errorCode, reason) ... You know exactly...

You don't think below is a bit ambiguous? Maybe you are right and I should be able to map those codes to determine what the status of my order is, but no other API that I have seen (seen plenty) does this for something so critical as order placement. BTW, how do you guarantee that your order Id...

OMG. I am new to it, but I don't think you can use it reliably. I would not trust it with fully automated strategies unless it's a couple of trades a day. For example, instead of sending OrderRejected message they send a generic error message that could refer to anything. So what's the status...

I am trying to have a set up where I will pay for data separately and will use IB for execution only. Currently, I use ToS for charting (free data unlike IB) and IB for execution. Unfortunately, ToS had become too slaggish, so now l am paying for IB data. Very crappy set up, but hopefully a...

Strongly disagree. Visuals matter a lot when you trade manually. IB TnS and Charts suck, imo. I completely understand what he is looking for. What about this? https://www.medvedtrader.com/www/frontend/datasource

I agree with you on all points. Hedging is expensive and adds complexity. It's an experiment. Protection from tail risk is nice to have though. Actually, in a tail risk situation, this strategy should be profitable. Thanks.
