Have any of you ever used a product called TWS Auto Track? It is specifically designed to work with IB. I saw the link on the IB webside and a review of the product. It has recieved good reviews, based on responses from 45 people. The website shows a lot of screen shots. It looks like it...

Can anyone tell me the formula to calculate the correlation coefficient? How are you calculating the correlations mathematically? What is the formuls used by Impactopia to calculate the correlation coefficient? How can I calculate the correlations between various stocks?

It would be great if there were some way to print the reports and graphs in the back testing module. Am I missing something simple?

I was impressed with the screen shot of your visual basic program. Could I get a copy of the program? Gansoro

My initial reaction to the new advanced charts was also that I thought they were very confusing. In fact, after waiting for what I thought would be a major improvement over the old charts, which were terrible, I was seriously considering changing charting services. The thing that turned me...

Corey, I ran into the same problem. I have been trying to think of a way to avoid getting hosed by the specialist like this in the future. One of my ideas was to take the "last," right when the market closes, and use that in my spreadsheet as the "previous day's closing price" for the next...

I recently installed the latest Rushmore drivers for windows 2k. Prior to installing the updated drivers, my power saver didn't work on my monitors either. However, since the upgrade, they the feature works fine.

Somebody should explain to the politicians, etc. that there are two sides to every trade. In order to sell a stock, whether going short or liquidating a long position, there has to be a buyer... the essence of the free market system. Buyers provide support not resistence. If a trader goes...

When I upgraded my computer system, I intended to use Windows XP. However, not only were the drivers not available for the Rushmore card, but everyone I talked to in the trading community and beyond suggested that I go with Windows 2k. I'm happy that I did. It is rock solid and first in line...

I'm not sure if this will help, but here's my experience with the Appian Rushmore card. I bought a new Dell Dimension 340 in October or November... 1G memory, 2.2 GHz, big hard drive, Windows 2k... the works. I bought an Appian Rushmore card as soon as they were available to run my four LCD...

Wow, great job Corey. I wasn't sure what to do when the Eminis took a 10 point dump after I had already submitted my orders, around 6:20. I've never seen a drop like that right before the open. I thought about cancelling all my buy orders. I also thought about cancelling all my orders and...

I don't use Redi, but I am curious to know where the "pre opening" indications come from. How are they derived? Is someone or a computer making a guess based on some algorithm? Or, is it the specialist who is actually telling everyone where he "intends" to open the stock?

Yes. I have programed a system which automatically calculates the number of shares I trade in each stock. The system adjusts my position size in each stock according to the equity in my account, my money management parameters, and the liquidity of the stock. I trade more than 1,000 shares in...

I suppose this stategy might work with a shot gun approach, like the one you are suggesting. I have heard of traders doing exactly what you are suggesting and exiting thier positions based on their real-time P&L. They never even look at the tape. As for me, that's not my style. I believe...

Don, My numbers are very close to yours: 1. Currently placing opening orders on 11 stocks. Currently watching/testing 87 stocks. 2. Yes, I adjust the number of shares for each stock based on it's price and my money management parameters. 3. Average 10% - 15% fill rate. 4. Average...

Good day today... +$0.25 gross on one fill. Yesterday... -$0.15 gross on one fill.

Where is "NewsWatch"? Is it a website?

I fill (short)... gross $0.09. Locked in profits quickly because of my experience last week, when the market made such a large gap up. After the gap up (around 200 points), it continued up for another 100 points into the close. After being filled on the short side, I didn't want to chance a...

This is true. I use IB for my opening orders and they work perfectly.

Corey, Just a clarification... on your final calculation, I think you made a mistake in your explanation. When you said, "I take the result of that calculation and divide it into the spx cash price and express it as a percentage." I think you meant, "I take the result of that calculation...
