Here's something I found the other day: www.tradersmashup.com Enjoy :D

I also have an excel sheet that makes trades. I took the sample workbook, added a sheet to record market data, chart, and provide some controls (buttons) that stop and start the program. Travis, I am curious to know how you keep track of your P/L. I am having a hard time with this. I...

Tradestation is some powerful stuff, don't be fooled into thinking that EasyLanguage is limited or for beginners.

Grob - the master of the swing trade. :)

I'll put in my two cents. I started programming with IB with their excel sheet. It works great and costs almost nothing, but you cant backtest strategies and IB's reliability has been crapping out lately. It seems like the most logical place to start is Tradestation. They give you the...

Samson, I have had the same problem - I was trading EUR (order was placed with Excel but I watched it activate in TWS). I had the stop in (not stop limit) and I watched in disbelief as the market ran past it. I had to manually close the order for a sizeable loss. I sent them an email...

Let's talk about some components of a good ATS. I think we can each contribute something without divulging our edge. Im not trying to sell anything, just trying to share and learn. Well, here goes my contributions. Based on my lmited experience, I think a good ATS should: - Be stable...

Can someone explain what spoofing/ flipping is? If you are not watching the market depth, will you even see it?

Im curious, where does the 250 number come from? I want to calculate intraday historical volatility, not daily historical volatility. Thanks alot!

First, you can simply print out your order without submitting it. However, when it comes to real testing I've just had to risk my own money and trade (and watch it to see what goes wrong). It really is a shame that the edemo is worthless. They could just get one day's worth of data and play...

Excel Programming by Jinjer Simon - you can get it at Books A Million http://www.mrexcel.com/board2/search.php http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xltraders/

This is a quote from the book "The Money Game" by Adam Smith. It was first published in 1967. This excerpt is from Chapter 12. Don't believe me? Buy the book. "But," Irwin went on, "there are a couple of sophisticated funds that have computers like ours on the air. Then it really gets to...

Kid, Are you talking about creating a new workbook with RTD, or modifying the IB sample worksheet? Can you provide more details on this RTD, and why is it better? Here's a Microsoft article I found on it, but I would be interested to hear why RTD is better in this application...

You guys are still trying to find the perfect indicator. It doesnt exist. There is no magical way to spot a trend vs. a chop. However, I always consider the news. A big piece of news or economic report is a good catalyst for a trend. The market is more likely to trend during these times...

You may find some programmers here, but also at http://www.mrexcel.com/board2/viewforum.php?f=2&sid=be30341a49f1dac1b27827e1b97de094 http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/software/tools/consultants.php?accept_disclaimer=T&ib_entity=llc
