0. eSignal sucks, Amibrokers AFL started pissing me off. I am too broke to buy anything expensive. I also needed speed and I test variables on multiple time frames. 1. Written totally from scratch. 2. Written in VB. (Just because I am familiar with VB and already have Visual studio)...

I used to run IB's TWS from behind my company's firewall. It required a LoopHole/Sockcaps 5 solution. Use the search function in the upper right hand corner ( enter loophole) and you will find what you are looking for. fan27

For me, being consistent with my exits works best. I have had success selling winning long positions into strength as well as using a trailing stop technique. Problems arise for me when I try to do both.

Hello cutten. Great suggestion. From my experience trading so far, it seems that the really good setups don't happen that often. fan27

4 trades so far. Net : +11.50 ES pts trading 1 contract. triangles can be tricky. Playing the failures seem to work best in the first hour or so of trading. Late day failures can also be good. fan27

Trade 4 : 5/25 15 min : failed triangle Breakout Bought 1096.50 Sold 1103.75 Result + 7.25 took forever to get a signal but it was worth the wait. Once 2 x my stop size was reached, the 3 min bar trailing stop kicked in. I am in the process of backtesting some other strategies, so...

Thanks for the suggestions so far.

Hello all, I will be in San Francisco June 14-17 as part of a 2 week vacation with my girlfriend. Can anyone recommend a good area to get a hotel that is close to things to do but at a decent price. Any other tips that I won't find in the "let's go" guide would also be appreciated. Thanks...

It's one thing to befriend someone and have them mentor you. but to expect a complete stranger to mentor you for free is ridiculous. If I was looking for a mentor, I would concentrate on meeting and networking with profitable traders. If a mentorship might become of one of my contacts...

12 wins is my longest streak (5 min ES). Shortly there after I gave back all my profits on 1 trade. fan27

Excellent Post Steve46. thanks fan27

The price shown in the report is the YM price. I am trading 5 units as to simulate 1 ym contract. (YM = Index * 5). Off to work now. fan27

What do you mean by only trading 1/2 brackets. I need exact requirements. No need to send money. I am not doing this out of the kindness of my heart. I would like to trade a mechanical system that is profitable. fan27

Look at it this way. The system is Net Profitable without any adjustments. I am going to come up with a version of this system that only trades during the daytime. I am currently running a test that uses a trailing stop ( size = 1.5 times the distance between H4 and H3 or L3 and L4.) I have...

I tried to upload the file but you can't upload a .html file. I wouldn't mind If Michael puts the data in another format and posts it. Time for me to go to bed. Why so depressed Michael? fan27

Would you like that order super sized sir? :p

It would be nice if the system could be tweaked to only run during trading hours 8:00 am to 4:15 eastern. I will play with some stop loss methods on the system this weekend this weekend. fan27

I am the process of backtesting this system. The code is still a little buggy. Hopefully I will be done on Thursday. fan27
