I agree with the OP. It would be nice if IB had something like this. There have been times when i have gotten down a little, and made some dumb trades/overtraded out of frustration and ended up down a lot. I think something that essentially locks you out of your account for an hour or two if you...

So i see that its possible to set a daily loss limit with ButtonTrader which is nice. Two questions- 1. Is it possible to set up ButtonTrader to have your buying power decrease if you are down X amount. So for example if I dont want to get completely shut out of my account but would like...

Or did you just mean setting a stop an a specific trade?

Thanks GTC. I didnt see anything like this the other night, do you know where to configure it?

A few question for TWS users- 1. Is there a way to set a limit amount down on the day, where I would essentially get closed out of all positions and be unable to trade for the rest of the day if I hit this point? For example, if i didnt want to lose more than $2000 in a day, is there a way to...

First off, sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but is seems like there are a few it could go in, so i just put in main. Some quick background about myself- I have been trading for a few years now, but i have a full time job that keeps me from being able to trade as much as I might like. I...

I am thinking of buying an AMD X2 Dual Core PC. Two Questions. 1. Does TWS support Dual Core PC? 2. Whats the better buy? HP a1530n Intel Pentium D 820 Viiv Dual Core 2.8 Ghz 1 GB Ram 250 GB Hard Drive 17” Flat Panel $740 Vs. HP a1520n AMD Athalon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+...

I have emailed Neal a few times for industry/hedge fund advice. He has always responded and been helpful and genuine. For anyone who thinks he's trying to get over on people, you're wrong. Why would he be in the headhunting biz if he didn't get his cut (which is probably right around the...

my theory is that eventually the markets will go totally flat for an extended period of time, as an end result of the quant driven program trading machines. this time may last 10-20 years and it may begin very very soon..... surfer Surf- From what i've read most of the quant based...

"SNY is the company that makes Ambien. They currently dominate the space. It is possible that SEPR's Estorra drug could take 20% of that business away from them. There is also a stock NBIX, that is coming out with a sleep aid drug but not for a while. And PFE is a very indirect way, they have a...

Hey Neal. I remember about a month or two ago you were looking for a few traders to put up their own cap and trade their accounts as customers of your fund. Was wondering if you have found anyone, and how the arrangement is working. How has your fund done this year? Hope things are going well...

Just curious, are the per share commish rates being talked about here All Inclusive. Are you getting .005 or .0075 total, or are there ecn/sdot fees on top of that. I know I am probably paying way more than I should be and am just curious about what I should try to negotiate. I am trading about...

Cool post Pabst. I'm somewhat new to ET and wasn't around back then. Who was this guy? Does he still trade/post? Thanks:)

I have read both of these books by Keiv. They both have some good ideas in them. Was wondering what some of you veteran traders think about his philosophy of setting an actual dollar goal to make every day/week/month/year. Do any of you guys follow this type of strategy? Does it help you to...

Can you get anything like this on eSignal or Hammertrade? Thanks

Is it possible to get any type of overnight leverage from Tradestation or IB, coming in with only $5,000? Thanks

I day trade stocks with a direct access firm and am looking for a firm that will allow me to hold positions longer term than just intra-day (anywhere from a few days to a few months). I don't have enough to open a retail account and satisfy the PDT rules. (I have about $5,000). Are there any...
