thanks for the replies. Ill look into them :)

I am using TWS from interactive brokers and on the booktrader, there is 'close position' button. However, if I click it, it sends a limit order which I then have to click another button to transmit. How can I change this to a market order to be submitted immediately without having to press...

I don't have anything in the virtual FX position. (only 'real fx balance' but what are the difference?) So is reducing currency risk worth the commission I need to pay in order to convert the euro to dollars? Also, is it better to do the conversion after a fixed amount (eg 5,000 EUR) of pnl or...

I have a brokerage account with the IB and by base currency is USD. When I fist started trading things from EUREX, IB asked me to select two options regarding the fx exposure - could someone explain what the differences are? I don't remember which I selected but my EUR balance changes after...

I have the following quote written down in my memo app. I think I saw it from a book or a podcast. Does anyone know who said this and in what context? " There is no career in trading You are only as good as your last trade and that’s it. You build nothing and you just trade. The day you stop...

Will doing a master in Financial Computing help with developing and trading algorithmic strategies as a retail trader? (not financial math but financial computing, course with focus on the computing) Course is one year. Fee is expensive but I cannot use that money for trading. So the only...

Hey guys, I am looking for a platform/library for backtesting and live trading algorithmic trading strategies. I just found out about project zorro, but there seems to be very few third party review of the software and barely anyone even talking about it online. I am also considering...

I dont think there is any way to pay for the course only in Jigsaw... Also Emporos Capital is charging 2,000... which is way too much for me .

Until now, most, if not all my studies have been about charts; technical analysis, chart patterns and price action etc I am fascinated by those who trade based on price ladder but have never understood them. What are some examples of trading educator/youtuber/guru that are profitably trading...

Hi, I think I already am in tiered commision. But I really don't think I am trading enough volume to take advantage of the tiered commision sturcture.

well I wouldn't mind if they charge slightly more than the others but it just seems they are way above the industry standard...

probably its lowest tier

I trade with the Interactive Brokers now. They charge me 2 euro for the bund per side, so 4 euros for every trade I make. Optimus futures, on the other hand, charges only 1.48US$ per side, so approximately 2.49 euros per trade. This is 40% cheaper then what IB is charging me with. [Commisions...

background. 1. A couple of years ago, the bund had a fixed open about 8am ( i dont remember exactly). I have not traded it for years, and now I want to come back. I realized they extended the trading hours to 1:15-22:00, near 24 hours a day. 2. I plan to mostly focus on the five minute chart...

I agree but is it worth missing out more bars? If I set it to some different time than 930 EST then I'll be available more frequently when the bar closes.

I personally use sierrachart. You can ask Tradestation support?

I mean I can set the starting time on my 4 hour chart to when I want to. I am sure any decent platform will allow you to change the setting on this.

I started to trade the 4 hour chart of the e-mini, only entering at the end of a bar. I suppose the most logical starting time would be 9am EST, when the stock market opens so the bars would close on 9, 1, 5 am/pm. However, because of my own schedule, I would be more avaiable to check the...

If I were to take the approach similar to Kevin's (as oppose to Ernie Chan's) how much mathematics would I need to know to become successful in algorithmic trading?

Kevin Davey, an (apparantly) successful algorithmic trader/author claims simple strategy works and will always work. Ernest Chan, another guru in this field, however, says simple quant strategies don't work anymore and machine learning is a must if you want to suceed in trading. He also says...
