Thats what i suspected. Irrespective of money, it was a great trade in terms of timing ability. I guess some pnl would have come from vega as well since market is going down and i guess volatility might have inched up a bit. Kudos!!

you earned 2.20 on 40 put options for a profit of 40*2.2 = 88 USD? or is it 88*50 or is it 88*100? i trade only futures so trying to understand

out for +2

long 1615 looking for a scalp only

No one should know that. Thats super secret information. LOL. Thanks for the link. Out of the 5 time trackers in the link, RescueTime is closest to what I wanted. Only thing I don't like about that is it stores data on the company servers which made this freeware. So, all my browsing history...

All of the above assumes the simple case when one application completely covers the monitor. If you use multiple monitors (say 4 monitors) and have 4 different applications on 4 different monitors always displayed, then the tool should give a monitor wise breakdown of which application has been...

Many programs in windows have the option that says "always keep on top". This means that windows API already has such functionality that allows an application programmer to keep his program on top always if user selects so. So, I guess it won't be too tough to use the same windows API...

I spend around 14 hrs a day or more on my computer. To help me manage my time in a better way - I would like to keep track of how much time I spend on different applications (like on TWS, Excel, Word, my web browser, Multicharts, powerlanguage editor etc.) every day. I thought the best method...

out for +1. sitting on sidelines.

Thank You guys! When the market was going up non-stop, it was painful though, but ultimately I am pleased with the result :)

I have been away from ET for about a fortnight or so. I closed my shorts at 1633 yesterday. My overall average was around 53. So got +20 points on 5 contracts. Sometimes it seems that swing trading is better than day trading :) Now long from 1636. Small size.

Good Morning friends! Back in with the scaling. Added this short leg again at 68 that I removed at 63 on Friday.

Ok, Thanks for info comintel. Cheers!

Thanks very nice! This is the kind of comparative feedback which is very helpful. I have been with MC for years and have been trading futures so it serves all my needs. Now I am moving to trade stocks and thats why I am evaluating a new software, which must be fast, offer scanning, ranking and...

Thank You.

Thanks apfx for showing that even driven scan/exploration can be done. But basic question - what is an event in amibroker world?

event driven in the sense? something like earnings > X ?

George, Many Thanks! I agree it seems to me that price wise, performance wise and features wise Amibroker is the best out there in retail landscape. Others can't do portfolio trading, Amibroker can. AFL being array based language is super-fast etc. It just sounded that customer service and their...

Bob, Well said! Also its true that custom applications offer complete flexibility. As you know I am starting research on stocks, and I decided to look into Amibroker since stock traders like it and my current software is so clumsy and unsuitable to scan, rank and trade hundreds of stocks...

Till now I have been quite favorably impressed with Amibroker (based on my limited research). Just to add a little bit of realism here: Couple of posts by sogodo from 2008, present a slightly different picture about Amibroker customer support. He talks highly about the capabilities of the...
