Or me.

I am not sure you have to use the tick level, I think it is optional.

Tradestation used to put the kaibosh on sales of 2000i on ebay.

It was based on finding people with assumable mortgages that could not sell their house originally, and it did work. I knew a guy that took the course and followed the instructions closely and basically, he had lots of real estate in a short period of time and he only worked part time. I have no...

Bollinger band measures the distance in terms of statistics.

TS software is great, use a third party dll like Dynoarder to trade with IB. Best of all possible worlds.

I am not all that much anti buy and hold. Maybe a part timer trader like myself should have a 401k (company matches the first 3% so I make 100% on the first 3% of annual pay that I put in) and a fund for trading as well. The trading fund should start to outpace all the other stuff, the job...

The suicide bombers may be dumb but the guys that talk them into it are smart. A dead bomber can't rat you out. I would think that the leaders should fear more from the families of the kids they use as delivery system for a bomb. These parents should be going after those guys and hunting...

I have not done that but in statistics 101 I was told that 30 samples can be considered to be a "large" sample. I always start any investigation into the best parameter with 30 and work from there.

Actually those suicide bombers are dying because a political party in Iraq is losing power and they are just doing everything they can to screw things up. Reminds me of a political party in the US.

Don't forget that NA stands for new acronym.

Summer is a whole different trading environment.

Investor Flix is too cool. I lost a DVD somewhere and have not found it, they might have lost it for all I know and I also got a few DVD's that I could not play on any of two computers, or two TV's in the house and I still think they are too cool. I might get a second account with them so I can...

If you run indicators and use a dll to trade with IB then Tradestation has no built-in protection guarding against bogus orders being placed when the data refreshes. I know that from experience. :D I did not know that strategies were automatically protected in that regard when trading with...

That Esignal ActiveX tool is very easy to set up and works fine.

I have zero problems with TWS. I run it on a modern machine with nothing else running on it except for trading software. I never, ever, do email or extraneous downloads of any kind on that machine and it is behind a Cisco hardware firewall. Anything less is just asking for headaches, and...

So, Brazil borrows from US banks, totally screws up and defaults, the IMF bails them out and then SA doesn't like it because the bailout benefits the US banks, not Brazil?? Excuse me but next time try to 1) borrow somewhere else, 2) not screw up so bad you need an IMF bailout. Maybe that...

Use a global variable in all your strategies that gets incremented with every trade. Have the strategies check it before placing a trade, if the number is too high it's a no-go.

I think TS is just erring on the side of caution. I don't use a lot of leverage and I am diversified over several trades at any given time, I'm not going to worry much about a wipe out due to technical problems. I am going to add a watchdog to things to limit the number of trades in a day...

I use TS software and trade with IB so I cannot comment on their brokerage. Occasionally your chart will get a refresh and run your code on all the history so you must put some safeguards so that orders are not generated from the history, only on the last bar. You can put in a check to see if...
