    'Timeout requesting order rules' error message

    Hello all, I can't find any information anywhere specific to this error message. It's occurring only on IBKR Mobile. I'm running the latest version (8.63) on an iPhone 6 which is also recently updated. I get the error message on secure wifi and also on carrier only. Everything else is...

    Could use some help from someone knowledeable with IB execution

    I trade futures. Is there any way at all to add multiple target orders when sending out a bracket order? I've gone through the release notes and the knowledge base and have tried some changes, but I'm not finding it very intuitive. I've also sent a couple of emails to IB, but Unfortunately...

    Reccomendations for 3rd party data providers that have TF access?

    I'm using Ninja Trader and I'm happy with my broker, so I don't wish to make any changes there. I've used the following: eSignal - reliable feed, good product access, too expensive. Kinetick - reliable feed, no TF, reasonably priced. Barchart - unreliable feed, good product access, reasonably...

    Missing Data on eSignal 11 since latest release?

    Anyone else having this problem? I'm trading globex. It seems to only affect my 120 charts. I've only had isolated issues with this in the past and I've been an eSignal subscriber for 8 years now. I have this problem repeatedly everyday and there is no mention of it on the eSignal forums...

    Confessions of a revenge trader

    I'd like to share a couple of things. Last night I looked at the Aussie dollar. It was trading just below 1.03. My analysis told me that despite some recent strength we could very likely test 1.02 before we resumed any serious buying pressure. This was my bias. I watched the Aussie sell...

    Computer Science for Trading?

    I don't think a degree is necessary for trading at all, but if one insisted upon it I'd go with either a psychology or compu sci degree. Which depends entirely on your personality. If you want to take indicators for example and tinker with them to find an edge then programming might be better...

    Did Robert Hoffman really lose 312K in a single TF trade? Yikes!

    Think about that for a moment.

    eSignal 11 memory usage

    Thanks, I was still running the May version. I remember when it released I had a convenient little pop-up within eSignal informing me a new version was available. I guess I falsely assumed it would do the same when there was something new again. I readily admit that I feel rather stupid for...

    eSignal 11 memory usage

    I'm running a Intel(R) Core (TM) i5 3.20 GHz. Obviously not as strong as yours, but do you think it's inadequate for my charting needs?

    eSignal 11 memory usage

    I'm not a very technical person when it comes to computers, so I'm hoping there are some knowledgeable ET'ers who wouldn't mind helping me out. Within the last 6 weeks or so I've noticed that volume spikes completely freeze up my machine. Both my Physical memory and CPU usage are running at...

    Daily Stop Loss and Target

    A few things I'd suggest. A daily goal will just perpetuate your problem. As you said, you have good days. It's the bad days you have problems with. Unless I missed it you didn't offer much in the way of details about your current style. If your good days come from avg down losers...

    How can I track a mixed basket of stocks (longs and shorts)?

    My initial idea was to input the inverse of my shorts into a spread along with my longs using eSignal, but eSignal's spread builder does not allow negative integers. The best I've come up with so far is to simply record the extremes of each position at the end of the day. This will let me...

    The APPLE Crash

    I see nothing wrong with what the submitter posted. It's one thing to just come in here and talk about how someone might think it's overvalued, but all he is doing is illustrating a fact. It is a parabolic rise. For my 2 cents. I think someone would sooner go broke shorting AAPL then going...

    question about my risk reward ratio

    Hey thanks for your help. Just to clarify though are you saying Risk = whichever is greater between initial risk and realized losses?

    question about my risk reward ratio

    Hello All, I'm having some difficulty wrapping my head around this and would appreciate some feedback. To be clear I know how to calculate R:R, just not how to best track it as it applies to my trading. Should I be calculating my risk every time at the price at which I place my stops. i.e...

    Infinity futures - MFglobal suspension

    Well I'm stuck in a long position from the open, so it could be worse.

    Did Robert Hoffman really lose 312K in a single TF trade? Yikes!

    I don't know if it matters, or not, but Rob was always very clear to people that he was not a registered financial planner and therefore would not provide anyone with any advice on what they should, or should not do. He said he was providing people the opportunity to watch him trade as a...

    another valid point. Thank you.

    Why is MHS trading at a huge discount to its takeover bid?

    ah, never factored in the FTC. Thanks for your post.
