Bought twitter premarket at 27.75 Any thoughts on what it could potentially hit today? Looking to sell by the end of today or the next day or so. Made a high of 29.50 then everyone sold.

I think you may have solved my issue So when the IPOs symbol appears with no chart data, I can place this type of order, and then at whatever time the IPO opens, my order will be executed? Does this sounds correct to you? I will surely test it with some IPOs I do not want at low shares.

Very observant. Yes, my goal is to take advantage of it by entering as early as possible. I have a method of placing my exits. Emphasis on the S in exits ;)

What if I am one of the first to place a market order? Would that be a way for me to have the best chance of acquiring at the open price? Does anyone have a recommendation as to what they would do in order to acquire at open price?

Thank you What type of order would you recommend? I'd like to acquire it at a price as close to the open as possible

Hello all, There are a few IPOs that I want to pickup on the first trading day right at the open (Yes, the first trading day. I am not asking about the initial offering price). This morning, Oct 1, I decided to wake up for the 9:30am open to see how IPOs could potentially react in the...

I am talking about the open of trading. I understand the difference between initial offering prices and first day of trading prices. I also understand that is extremely difficult to obtain them at initial offering prices. So yes, I was referring to obtaining them within the first few seconds of...

Would you say it is difficult to obtain an IPO on its first trading day right at the open? I am playing around with some things related to IPO's, and am asking from those a bit more experienced how difficult it would be to be filled for 100-500 shares of an IPO on its first trading day right at...

Great stuff MST. Question. When I did as you typed for 5 min data, and the time shift, when I place the cursor over the first 5 min candle, the time reads 22:49:59 PM. What timeshift would I need to make this 9:34:59 AM (EST)?

This needs to be pinned to the top of the forums. Thank you so much! I am sure this will help anyone using amibroker and stooq in the future!

Sorry could you reword that. What do you mean by 5 min is not good enough

Stooq is a great place for free 5 minute intraday data (http://stooq.com/db/h/) I am having issues uploading the data to Amibroker. I tried both Metastock and ASCII. Neither with any luck. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

You are completely wrong. In my paper trading account I had no delay at all. It is my live account that is experiencing delay.

Das is $120 a month. I chose Das Trader's platform because it was one I was comfortable with. I have only been with them for 3 weeks (I have only been trading for 3 weeks). I cancelled my subscription last week because it isnt worth the extra cost, especially since I am a new trader and trading...

Should I talk to my software provider? My broker is IB, but my platform is Das Trader

No I am simply point and click with a mouse or hot key set to buy at ask+0.01 I still had a delay with that hot key setup. I wouldn't get an immediate fill

I went with per price of 0.005/share My size is never over 200 shares. I believe I did miss my limit price once or twice. I clicked buy at ask, i see the order was pending while the level 2 still had the ask price the same. And then a few seconds later the ask went up and my order was still...

Interactive Brokers I noticed that many of my fills are to the fourth decimal place as you say. For example $20.0675 Should I not use smart routes? Frankly I just want a quick fill when I hit buy at ask and there is plenty of liquidity in the level 2

For example, Stock A has a BID of $20.48 and an ASK of $20.49, and I want to get long. My order route is set to SMART LIMIT, I click $20.49 and then hit BUY. I can see my order is pending and hasnt been filled, even though the ASK is still $20.49. It takes 2 or 3 seconds to get filled. And even...

Can I use Amibroker to code my system, and then link it to Interactive Broker's TWS to automatically execute the trades for me? Before I go down the path of learning to program in Amibroker, I want to know if it will even work with my account in interactive brokers. I have an account funded...
