Hey, as long as my Suby remains "Team Built In Indiana", I'm good. :D

It'd be good to know what your settings files are doing -- have you 1) restored them, 2) checked that they're 'good' in Global Config, 3) then made a spare settings file ('algosetAug27.xml' or similar), 4) and then logged out with Save Settings to IBServer as normally, 5) AND THEN rebooted your...

Consider a momentum-based Index strategy using the ADX or MACD on 1-day candles {w/ end-of-day triggers}. While often maligned :wtf:, it's a nearly-trivial effort to develop a positive expectancy, with risk much less than market. Positive trades ~ 7 days; negative trades ~3 days. Play with the...

From TWS, hit FILE, then hit the down-arrow at the bottom of the drop-down, and it will expand (just like the armoire in the attic) and give you IMPORT/EXPORT. Hit that, and down at the very bottom, you'll see "Export Page Content" to create a .csv that you can look at as plain text, import to...

Of market movement, volatility, and time, the one that pays the most is delta -- which is also the least consistent. Volatility pays okay, but is inconsistent: only when it drops quite low do you have the set-up you need for higher probability positions. Theta -- especially theta farther out --...

I seriously would've thought about 1|10,000, not 15|1. That sounds very whacked. After trading-for-a-living for a dozen years, I have yet to meet a profitable forex trader in the flesh. I know dozens of futures/equities/options traders.

Agreed, but I'd most definitely make it *both* parties. What happened to Tip O'Neal? Paul Tsongas? Warren Rudman? William Cohen? John Glenn? Bob Dole? Daniel Patrick Moynihan? George Mitchell? Even from Indiana: Phil Sharp, Lee Hamilton, Dick Lugar.... Name for me a small government...

Three thoughts: DEFINITELY: No matter what operating system you have, there will be a Device Control area where you can switch the mouse's handedness. DO THAT. Your speed of entry will be improved, too, as you will not be switching back and forth between the number pad and the mouse -- your...

I think you've nailed it. "Collusion" is not a statutory crime, and while much was made of that fact early on, it has now been seemingly forgotten. But the fact is, that whether something is a statutory crime or not is not part of the Constitution. "High Crimes & Misdemeanors" was left...

Yeah, but back then, you still had the anti-partisan example of Reagan + O'Neal. AND the Southern "Dixicrat" Democrats had not yet defected to the now-Big-Government-loving Republican side. The iceberg roll we've seen in identity labels, from Democrats <==> Republicans, is nearly the same as...

I love the line, "Bill Clinton was the last good Republican President." Like all good humor, it's in the truth of it that the laugh lives....:D

You forget where all this stuff came from, and where it would be going. Have you ever heard of Richard Lugar? (A FINE, fine Indiana Republican, from Mayor of Indianapolis to effective Senator to renowned Statesman and *definitely* forward-thinker.) Look him up. Learn some history, instead of...

Democrats == Nihilism??? That's a laugh. Not as a statement about the ninny-nannies of Jefferson's Party, but that you missed what Bitch McCONNell did to my Party Of Lincoln 10 years ago. THAT was nihilism. Direct and by definition. Your grasp on history is...... poor.

You've got SQL and Python skills, and you want a free scanner? Build your own. Undoubtedly, Lightspeed/Lime has a .csv dump ability, as does IB's TWS. If you want an RSI of 42-with-a-lefthanded-twist, and are frustrated that not everyone has it, I'd offer two observations: 1) It's not offered...

The ones to which his lawyer plead guilty? And about which he testified? :wtf: "HAS GOT GOOGLE?" :rolleyes: Whatever you think you're digging -- right now it looks like a hole. o_O Do some homework, think for yourself.:cool:

I would wager "Nary a hiccup." The market CRASHED when Agent Orange was elected, right up until they realized that there would be unified houses + executive branch, to guarantee tax relief and regulatory reform. That happened at about 3:20am, as I recall it. And BOY oh boy did the buyers come...

TWS has been around for a long while -- the "features" IB has been rolling out (for years) have been to assuage a retail crowd, not the professional/institutional crowd around which TWS was born. (Look at the T/A "Studies" portion of a chart, for example. It used to be a dozen or so choices of...

"Fundamentals" refers to operating/financial/reporting statistics -- new products, quarterly reports, high insider buying... If you want to explain volume spikes, look in the newswires. Do a search. Find out what happened on that date. If nothing happened, do not trade the stock -- or you'll be...

Just to clarify, there is the theta of a specific option strike, the position theta of a line-item contract (for a constructed spread), and the portfolio theta of an actual position total -- all of which are in TWS Portfolio data, and may also be available in "IBKR Mobile". As far as that...
