I was just checking them out ... they do look very startupy to me, and they certainly don't speak English very well...;) It looks like they're just trying to do what TradeStation does -- you write your own strategies in C++, and they have API links to TWS/etc. in the client software you run...

Yep...wireless networking. The best invention since the bathroom magazine rack. nlh

Long cord? What do you think 802.11b was invented for! ;) nlh

You said it...that's actually what originally sparked my interest in the idea ... I've been a follower of the whole Extreme Programming methodology (in which Pair Programming is central) and have seen some tremendous results from it, so I figured applying such a strategy to trading could be...

I tried an interesting experiment yesterday, which is that I invited a similarly-experienced friend to join me in trading the E-Minis for a few hours. Rather than sitting by myself as I normally do, I had someone sitting right next to me, looking at the same charts as me, playing the same...

Funny, I was just thinking about this today -- I found that over the past 3 days I've had an uncanny ability to be wrong about nearly every trade that I've made (4 out of 5 wrong today, 5 out o 6 wrong yesterday, etc.) -- Almost makes me want to just fade myself and see where it goes...

Great job Chris -- lookin good this morning. I'm wondering if you might post a bit more details about your trades (i.e. price of limit entry, fills, exit prices). I ask particularly about your entry prices because I've been following along with the method you originally posted but have...

Nope, that was a perfect explanation....thanks!

Sorry...novice here just trying to get more acquainted with the markets... Could someone explain to me what an "illegal short sale" is and why this sort of situation arises? I didn't quite follow the original poster.... --noah

Wow...100 lots....I think it's gonna take me a little bit to build up the stomach to win/lose $1250 per tick. But it could make a truly nice living if done right...

Part 2 -- So yesterday, I spent a good amount of time coding up the rules of the system in Wealth-Lab and backtesting over the past 2 months of 1-minute data. I didn't include any sort of trend-following or divergence rules -- just purely the stochastic+bband penetration+price reversal...

Afternoon chart...

Hey guys...been reading this thread for a bit, and I decided to jump in and play around a bit. A few things: First, here's my take on today. I didn't follow the system closely enough, as it's my first day trading ES, so I just picked a few setups I liked (which is not generally wise) ... 4...

Sorry for the novice question, but can someone (Breakout?) tell me which indicator is being plotted by the dotted red lines on the price graph of the first image posted? (retrace.png) --Noah

hehe...it's better than that: "Customers who shopped for this item also wear: - Clean Underwear from Amazon's Target Store - Ladybug Rain Boots from Amazon's Nordstrom Store - Flannel-Lined Jeans from Amazon's Eddie Bauer Store - Cheetah Print Slippers from Amazon's Old Navy Store...

Congrats guys....good work! Would you mind sharing what kind of strategy you're using? Are you in equities or futures? Are you scalping, playing a few hours, or playing a few days? I'm curious because it helps to know not only that people are doing well, but in what market they're doing...

Still learning this game, started in October w/ $30k, and am at around $26.5k now (-$3500) ... but $2500 of that was one @$!$@ trade in MIK back on 11/7 -- went long on an MOO order, got filled at $36, then I blinked and the specialist moved the market to $31. That hurt. But luckily this...

More great responses everyone....thanks again. Agreed that a high hit-rate (75%) is a must -- my initial impressions are that the systems I'm playing with are very good at capturing the moves I want, but also seem to get faked out by the moves i don't want. And though I'm not getting...

Thanks for the thoughtful replies so far guys. I will certainly look into the websites suggested for info on momentum indicators. So far, I've been using eSignal for my data feed and IB for execution and have been quite pleased with both. IB execution truly is lightning fast, and market...

Hey everyone ... I'm a newbie to the boards here, but have been lurking for a while during my "get acquainted with trading" phase... I started off doing some discretionary stuff, but have decided that it's too hit-or-miss for me right now and that I'll do better with a set automated strategy...
