How come IB charts do NOT show pre-market data? Even though TWS shows prices(bid/ask) etc. Is there a setting i need to do? I couldn't find it. thnx

A huge trade by a tiny hedge fund has sent shudders through the gold market. Thanks to the nature of futures trading, Daniel Shak's $10 million hedge fund held gold contracts valued at more than $850 million, more than 10% of the main U.S. futures market, and the equivalent of South Africa's...

That would be quite disappointing. But I'm still confused. this is directly from the link that is quoted above: "Those who complete the Combine objective will receive the Live Trader Set-Up. TopstepTrader will seek out and back profitable traders that complete the Combine Objective. All...

I'm curious so I clicked on the link. If I'm reading it correctly, it said beginning account is $50K. Where does it say $10K? I like to know. I might try but if it's $10K it's a little weak esp for futures.. Live Account Size- $50,000 Daily Loss Limit- $-500 Max Position Size- 5...

I DID type in the symbol and I'm still getting the same message above! 221731 Client quotopia.client disconnected. 221731 Client quotopia.client connected. 221731 Client quotopia.client registered: CLH0,CLH0 NYMEX CL I've tried this for several days now. What's WRONG? I typed in CLHO...

tradelink, Thanks for the links. I still can't get a simple quote to appear. Here's what I did step-by-step. 1) I went Tradelink folder in Start menu. Then click on InteractiveBrokers. And I get the following: "Starting tradelink broker server... 165148 Started TL BrokerServer...

It looks nice. Iv'e downloaded and I have two questions. The first one is that I can't seem to get Quotopia to work with IB TWS. It keeps on saying Not connected [err:504] [ibid:87] [tlid:0] over and over. Yes, I did configure TWS to the right socket port. Do I need anything else? I also...

you might have a point there. But my questions was even if you believe my list(which BTW was just a random list of supposedly expert traders/investors deemed by the popular press). Even if their edge is not pure market "skills", then shouldn't there be even MORE of people like that? But, we only...

I've read Anders Ericsson work(one the original 10,000 hours discoverer). Gladwell who later popularizes it. Then Colvin(Talent is Overrated). And the Talent Code. All basically saying the same thing. As it applies to trading, don't you think there should be a lot of "expert" traders by now...

OK. Here's the deal. I want to calculate an ANNUALIZED Sharpe Ratio from my daily P&L. Here's how I went about it. Please let me know if you think this is correct. I read it on the internet somewhere but it still feels a bit icky(the formula & calculations). Just wanted a sounding...

what you guys think? We bounce up from these levels... Looks like a nice support. But it's not moving much up. I would expect move harder.. We still got 45minutes left to see how things will fare...

So, here's the deal. I do both swing trading as well as intraday. On my swing trading I make large multiple Rs but I'm also willing to sit through a lot of volatility which at times can be stomach churning as you see some of these futures move! Now, I get my swing trading signal or setup from...

Fudge! Shouldn't have gotten out. :(

From the way it looks, it could even dip below 4.4! ouch. Seems like capitulation is near.. sometimes this week i would venture when all the longs have given up.

OK. Thanks guys!

NG sucks! I don't like. I'm out. Very tight stop. Until it shows signs of life no point siting in a losing position. :( I scalp in and out. And I've hold for hours and days too when I'm riding a good trend. This is not a good upward trend. I might tomorrow it might still go up.But if it does...

Yep. Time to get in Long. People can say whatever they want to say. I just got in 4.468. Very tight stop. I've been scalping in for several days and making some coins with it. Earlier during the day I was in as low as 4.449 but got out for a quick scalp already. Let's hope this pans out.

I trade GCZ9 (dec ones for a while). Now, Jan(GCH0) is the front month. But what happened to all the liquidity? It's so freaking thin! So, what is the most liquid gold futures contract out there? I can't believe institutions are piling in GC given how thin it is. Bid/ask as small as single...

That's taken totally out of context of the article. If you scrolled a little above, it said his other rather impressive academic achievements: "Ari Nissan Kiev was born in the Bronx, the son of a rabbi, and grew up in Washington Heights. He attended Stuyvesant High School and graduated from...

Why is GCF0 so thin?? Isn't that the front month now? I don't think my broker(IB) allows you to do Dec anymore since they don't take physical delivery. Thanks
