All these replies echo what you've already received. The thing is, we don't really know what you're doing. Nor do we know how your Excel is prioritized by your computer -- or *what* computer you're running. If you're flogging some old horse of a computer -- or have it set up with a big block...

(Mercilessly plagiarized from another thread.....) You need to find out 1) what types of things you wish to trade 2) what types of timeframes you wish to hold 3) whether you are IN-VESTING (putting assets close-to-heart), or truly TRADING (defined holding conditions where being vested is not...

The reason that there is no effective day trading book is that there is not enough material -- it would be a daytrading *memo*. A day trading *pamphlet*. The bullet points in the day trading pamphlet would have -- be patient; cycle in; keep cash; No Free Lunch: reward follows risk. --...

To start: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=economic+substitutes+and+complement&title=Special:Search&profile=default&fulltext=1&searchToken=3gi3f0hy5dw99ehzcljup7l95 To delve a bit further: 1) any standard econ textbook you find for $1 at Goodwill, etc. 2) From Uncle Milty...

When you can look it up on a regulatory or exchange website, it's *probably* real. When it's hung in quotes, like "Normal...", it's probably an artifact of history. This one ("Normal Pre-Market") is an artifact. If you watch the overnight or pre-market volume, you'll notice spikes on news...

Really, really, *really* good.

You're very welcome, but now (after reading your further error description), yeah -- it looks like it's all on your [VBA] end, and unrelated to TWS. With that, I don't think that TWS_API [group] would be of any help. Can you isolate the code when/where the error occurs, and find the offending...

There's a big ol' lack of detail here, leading anyone with ideas the task of an encyclopedic reply. :( So, more obliquely.... ** I'd strip it down to nubs and make sure the thing connects -- knock out whether it is a TWS issues. ** This thing is Active-X based? I'd bring up the TWS API download...

Your post ignores the premise of the OP's study: that the financial market precedes the economy. Your post supposes instead that retail traders/trading drives the financial markets -- rather than all that wisdom/experience that points to the bond markets or the futures markets as reliable...

"is this noise in these charts?" You are the guy who just posted in another thread that you didn't need to know why markets move as they do, right? :wtf: The contradiction must be hard on you. :confused: At any rate, others (above) have mentioned time frames. Think on that a bit. "One...

Certainly! I've been working on a spreadsheet for the last 36 hours. I'm worried that I won't get it done before we open (in another 24-to-48hours.....) :rolleyes: :D

Excellent!! But you need the right soundtrack..... :wtf: :D

:wtf: Well, that wouldn't be the first silly thing that IB has done. (Amongst other things, they took down 90% of their old-but-still-relevant webinars. Jeez.) In any event, the first thing I would do is to check under Edit/Global_Configuration/ and either look at Order Presets or...

Actually, that's pretty bad. Recognizing that the guy was new to IB and TWS, still, he posted *numerous* errors and misunderstandings. The video should be taken down, as doing more harm than good.:(

Get thee to thy BookTrader webinar, and allth shall be-ith revealth. (You might even shortcut it by just googling for the webinar notes, which might save you some time. The brackets you describe worked like a charm for me. ("Back in the day" and all that.) Were I to tick-scalp today, I would...

Ooop! Remember that these are all first derivatives that, by definition, are linear. We can all agree that the underlying model is oh-so-Normal Distributional... but constructively, Shoot. We can work with that... And hell, we have the second derivative of movement, Gamma, to help us with the...

Yes. But no. 1) Here's the Yes part: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/use-greeks-predict-extrinsic-value-change-after-an-x-move-in-underlying.321409/#post-4661199 It references a threesome of other posts, and a pretty good thread from a year+ ago. 2) The No part: the BSM model that you...

YAY! But, my question went unanswered -- which was, if there were a dramatic move (one large enough to beat theta decay), what would your response be/have been? Sure, it's an important question any ol' day, but with NVDA being a *true* "tech" trade, it invites lots of market and non-market...

Need a lot more info on where you're aiming... Is this for entrance? Exit? Long-only? Long-or-short? Is this a highly-variable market? (NDX-ish) or more staid (DJ30)? Is this a single entity? Or a pairs trade? I have done what you describe for years with SPX options; thinking about it for a...

Unconscionably wrong again. (But I'm betting you know that, and just get some sort of perverted pleasure in the thought that you might trick someone. Sad. Sadddddd, you.) SO: 1) Not sweating the small stuff will blow your account. Always and without exception. 2) Options BY CONSTRUCTION will...
