I never had this problem of TWS using excessive memory before. Other people who replied on this thread have confirmed this. I am using around 20 tickers and 1 chart, 1 T&S and 1 Market depth trader - I guess this is not overloading the TWS. Also, I have seen memory usage by TWS increases...

Adding to long at 1410.75

yes, exactly this is the way I have logged in for last 3 yrs. It didn't install anything on my system. That is what I meant. The memory is now 445MB.

Hey Bob, this is what I am doing. Is it "the right way" or not? Maybe the language I used to describe what I am doing was bad. Btw, have been doing this same thing for last 3 yrs - so i would be pretty shocked if I am doing it wrongly for last 3 yrs! When I click on it, it downloads tws.jnlp...

out at 1410.75 and 1409.5 Long from 1409

I don't have standalone TWS on my PC. I just download the most recent version from IB website every week on Monday and then keep it running through the week. That is the reason I do not have TWS program in my Add/Remove list. Do you have any other possible solutions that I should try given...

I thought I would do uninstall and re-install when market closes. However, I just checked my programs folder and I don't have TWS installed anywhere in my PC. I go to IB's webpage and download TWS from there and use it. My TWS has again become a bit slow and I just checked the memory usage...

out at 1411.5. Now short 1411.5....looking to get around 2-3 points.

have you successfully scalped any product - any other future? Because only 2 kind of people ask question like this - professional scalpers who scalp other products already successfully or new guys who don't understand how hard it is to scalp ES. I was like this around 8 months back or so...

it pays to keep an eye on NQ alongwith ES. Sometimes their is disconnect between them, however at other times, ES reverses when NQ meets a big resistance. For example, NQ current high is 2657.75 and yesterday a major intraday high for NQ was 2658.75. So, NQ might take a breather here before...

Thanks but I didn't manage it well. Anyways, I am back in the trade....Long 1411.25. It seems price is going to run a bit more. Yes, I think you are correct - a trailing stop in the original trade would have been much better.

Signal all clear. Adding 1409.75 EDIT: Don't feel confident...price is stalling, so instead of waiting to get a bigger profit, I will book whatever I can and wait. So out of all position at 1409.5 Approximately +3 points on this trade. Trading was tough since it was never very clear to me...

Added 1406.5, average price 1406.5 stop 1403.5 and 1401. EDIT: Reduce 1406.5, price is not showing sufficient strength to break to upside, still upside bias seems to be the correct position. So reducing position to 2 cars from 3. Same average price 1406.5 and stops at 1404.5 and 1403.5.

NQ is super strong today, even es is holding fort even when Euro is going to gutter. Exited my overnight position at 1406. Now long 1406 and added at 1407. Will add at 1404 if we get there, stop around 1400.

yup thats a good suggestion. will do that.

Thanks everyone for confirming my suspicion that all is not correct with my TWS. I have two folders Jts and Jts0 in my C: drive. Not sure if this is normal or not. Can you confirm if you also have two folders like this? I went inside both the folders and deleted a lot of files. I only left...

filled 1408.....keeping one contract open for 1390 and below target.

good points all around. Please feel free to share either here or in PM, how you modify your strategy logic to deal with this new situation. We might be able to collaborate on this particular aspect as this is my interest area.

That algo must be able to hedge his position in the spot market since spot market is much bigger than futures markets for FX. This means if the algo does prove to be profitable, they will not stop the algo - rather it will continue to keep working. You will definitely have to modify your...

Who were these guys? Do you have names or any links? Case of Marc Rich comes to mind - I think he was a centi-millionaire and fled US and settled in Switzerland. There is a book about him...
