Yes, thanks for your posting Bandit. September was a tough month for me day trading wise. It's good to know what I wasn't the only one having a tough time. -- ITZ

Can anyone suggest quality free chat rooms for e-mini S&P (ES)day traders? Thanks. -- ITZ

Tony Oz should probably merit some consideration as well.

Thanks for your suggestion. It is helpful.

Hello, I am interested in backtesting my past day trades on the e-mini SP futures contract. What I'd like to do is see the effect of different time frames, trade management and position sizing combinations on the trade entries I had taken. I have my entry price, entry date, and exact...

You can also do something similar with SPAM e-mail as well. Do a "whois" search on the domain that is sending out the SPAM. You might need to do a bit of sleuthing in the mail header to figure this out. From the "whois" records, you can find the administrative contact of the whoever owns...

Greetings, I just discovered today that by calling the vendor who mailed the direct mail marketing literature, you can find out who provided them with your name and mailing address. You can then in turn contact that source and ask them to remove your name and address from that list. -- ITZ

Hi Keeda, Thanks for your reply. It helps very much. -- ITZ

Hi, I'm thinking about using Esignal 7.4 or Ensign Software's charting package, both using the eSignal datafeed. I'm not terribly familiar with either, and am hoping that the superiority of one package will become obvious with feedback from fellow ET members. I'm looking to use the...

I've accepted that IB cannot be 100% reliable. To be fair, no single broker can be up 100% of the time. The cost would be prohibitive. What I've done is have a backup brokerage account elsewhere. Perhaps that's something to consider. -- ITZ

There's a huge power outage in Northeastern US right. It may be affecting the internet and/or their website. -- ML

GreeDog, What % of equity do you risk per trade, and hwat percentage of equity does today's trade represent? If the first number is less than 1%, and the second number is less than 5%, I think you're still in good shape. -- ITZ

It was sold before I even saw your initial posting.

What did those missing pages say?

The signal you described involves the looking at the low of the VIX for the day. Since not all stocks and options open at the same time, does this mean that the first 15 minutes or 30 minutes of VIX data is spurious? If this is true, does this mean if the low of the VIX is set in first 30...

Def, Why not have a 99.999% reliable automated method to exit all open positions automatically? Such a system would require less manpower than manning telephone lines. It might even be completely automated as well. I thinking that I can dial into a IB telephone number, enter my...

Thanks Def for the update. Any chance IB can find a better way help traders exit open positions more quickly when IB has a system problem? One can lose a lot while on hold. How about a web page or automated telephone number in which if you access it with the proper account number and...

Greg B, Thanks for your reply. I sent you an e-mail via EliteTrader. Please take a look at it at your convenience. Thanks. -- ITZ

Gbungard, Could you also share with us how you use market dynamics in trading the Haggerty entries? That's one area that Haggerty has mentioned in his columns/lessons/seminars, that I'm a bit unclear about. Thanks. -- ITZ

GB, Can you please quantify the amount of time and effort you spent studying Haggerty's methods before you were able to trade them consistently profitably? Thanks. -- ITZ
