    Trading just one stock

    Just 60? What do you do with your other eye? That seems more like investing. You know you can still catch Louis Rukeyser on the tube. Have you seen the recent NuVeen prospectus? Very safe. Sheesh, 60 stocks.....slackard. :)

    Something very simplistic

    Quah, Very astute response to tampa. I appreciate that you included that you call 'em good and bad. It is very easy to remember the days that you call 'em all good, and very easy to forget the other times. Today was a wacky day anyway. I think most traders are looking to get on the right...

    tampa this might be the trade for you. The method is busiest in the morning and there are large chunks of time later...just right for snoozing... between trades! You know a guy has to get his zzzzz's. :)

    Radical IB suggestin - Please vote

    Nitro I had just talked about that with another member the other day. Although, even as a longer term player, I have missed my entry point as the stock runs away, thus creating too much risk. I, for one, am glad, btw, to see you up your volume. It was obvious to me after my first weeks in the...

    Something very simplistic

    Oh no, a losing day. Well I knew it. It's all a big scam, a sham, a flim flam. Throw it away. Throw it out. Trash it. Get rid of it. Delete it. Piece of crap. Here comes the drawdown. Worthless. Hmmmph! :mad: Actually, I think the results might lead one to risk a little more in the way of...

    Internet Problems??!!

    AP News - Following today's internet debacle, WorldCom's IT Director had this to say: "I was just looking around in this room full of what appeared to be a lot of electronic equipment. I figured this might be a good time to flip a switch or two, so I did." Just last week, Harold was...

    Something very simplistic

    I agree Quah, and the proof is in the results so far. I can't think of another day that there has been a discrepancy. You know for me, having blown the 24 hour data thing, :D , I don't want to have missed something. Thanks Quah.

    Something very simplistic

    I just did an empirical speed test...meaning I eyeballed it - among three common quote systems being used in this thread, QT-IB, QCharts, and Esignal. First I ran QT-IB against QCharts. Side by side using the 1 minute candle...ES and NQ. This was no comparison really, QCharts was always about...

    always long or short 1 emini

    The fewer trades you want the longer the settings will need to be. Try MACD 19-39-9 for nice smooth curves.

    IB's Data Feed Sucks

    Out of curiosity I downloaded the QuoteTracker last nite and interfaced with IB. I have been watching the ES and NQ side by side with my QCharts feed, which also takes a bad rap. The comment earlier about the slower refresh rate is accurate. The QCharts bars are popping up and down while the...

    Something very simplistic

    Quah, For clarity, On your Qcharts setup, the 2 minute stochastic, you have set to 17, 1, 17... is this correct? And this showed a short for the 0935 nq trade? QT users, Problem: for QT users, using the slow stochastic setting, which is the one that will allow a 17, 1, 17 entry, the 2...

    Something very simplistic

    Using QCharts the 0935 NQ trade - yes with 24 hr data, is definitely a long. This is using a 1 minute price chart with a 2 minute stochastic set to 17, 1, 17. I didn't have QT running until about 1030 so I have no data to look at there. Very interesting as this has not happened before, re...

    IB Downtime

    LOL I guess if I move to Hong Kong I'll be okay then. :D

    Something very simplistic

    If you decide to download MedVed QuoteTracker and want to integrate it with IB, be sure to download the Beta version. That part was a little obscure.... even though there is a whole section it.

    tampa's "short skirt" trades...

    Tampa I have an office in Naples. Just me and no one else. I am not commercial or soliciting or any stuff like that. What if I extended you the opportunity to trade in that office. No naps, ET blocked out, nothing else going on but you and the charts. No browsers, food delivered. It is plenty...

    Charting Software Q

    I use QCharts and have printed out some charts on occasion. I think the quality is very good. Remember to change the chart background to white and the charts to black before printing or will waste a lot of ink! :)
