sorry but i couldn't follow you. can you show what you are saying using screenshots. The "Timing" attribute when you click on an order in TWS currently just allows to make the order either DAY or GTC.

oh yes, thanks. not sure how this feature escaped me!! I can't find it but do you think IB also has a feature where you can set how many times you can trade a particular contract in a day?

I didn't read the whole thread. But 7/4 is not a great ratio at all. For my different strategies, I routinely get this ratio > 3, many a times >4.

Does IB TWS supports this?

feel sorry :eek: but LOL also :D what was the quote like (if you remember) and how much your action moved the market?

close 1513.5 now short 1513.5

Long 1511

Awesome. MANY THANKS. Journals forum will be a great forum to start this. With time, you can decide - that you want to keep this self-moderation feature in some forums, whereas you want to not allow for self-moderation in other forums. A mix-and-match approach might work best.

Thanks Bob, very helpful of you. :) Let me see what I can do. I will get back if I need some example codes from you.

I mainly use vba with excel but since vb6 is not too different. I will see into your link and try to work. Just trying to learn this skill first. Once I pick up the skill, I have a lot of ideas that I would like to test going forward. Before I can test any idea, I will need some data for it...

Thanks for posting. Useful way to think about the issue - especially that you can't buy "time" lateron.

+1 to this respect. Sle, I was actually very surprised to hear this because I never heard anyone say before that anyone outside knows what RenTech is doing. This is primarily because most of employees' money is invested in Medallion and so the attrition rate is chillingly low there. At...

Thanks looks interesting. I have never any python before. I might just enroll. As an aside, Coursera says all courses are free on it. How does coursera make money? Why do professors upload their courses on coursera, if they are not getting paid anything? I know few people will do it for a...

I "completely" agree with your problem, and I like components of your proposed solution - however I do not like it completely. Following is my point. Giving the ability to ban a person to the thread starter - is like giving him authoritarian powers. This can be mis-used by charlatans and...

+1 to above. People should be allowed the rights to self-moderate their own forums. Instead of private invite-only forums - everyone should have "read-access" to everything posted on ET, but thread starter should be given the right to moderate his own forum by taking away "write-access"...

Depends on what you trade. If you are going to trade fast moving stuff like CL or thinly traded stocks with low bid-ask size then it will matter. However, if you are going to trade something like ES, it won't make a damn difference. Because anyways scalping ES is fool's gold. And if you are...

T&S BUG So, I discovered this - this is 100% a bug. Steps to follow to recreate: 1) Open T&S Window. I have seen this bug by opening the window for ES. 2) You will see only top row updates and last price and size data doesn't enter rows that are sliding down. However, NBBO b/a and...

Mate, I applaud your efforts. My only suggestion to you is - learn to code yourself. It is a very good skill to have. FAQ: Q: How should I do it? It sounds like a lot of work and frankly I am a bit scared. A: Well, simple - first don't worry. It is not as hard as it sounds. Join a...

Thanks dom. Yes, I can see the attachment. I think its a good decision that you are trading your strategy using full automation - due to it trading 24 hrs and because PF is a bit low, so margin of error is small. But great work overall on strategy development and developing all the...

i closed my trade for around +3 points. Good weekend everyone.
