The jokes are great. What Kiwi missed was that Trader28 was kicked out of T2W. They must have really appreciated him.

Phase 1 Day 7. Skip Mondays?

Phase 1 Day 6. Despite execution issues Monday & Tuesday the new strategy is holding up well to its initial $100 per day target. Should improve more before phase 2. <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1185847">

Day 6. Still first phase, probably for another 5 days. +$250

Day 5 .. +$146

Day 4 -$148

So we should use stop limits with a wide limit?

Phase 1. Day 3. Tough day but execution was poor as well -$158.

Phase 1. Day 2. No trades - family stuff.

Thanks BCE. New strategy. Long term goal $2000 per day but initially $100 per day while work out the issues. 1 contract initially. Day 1. $279

Starting new strategy with gradual scale up. What part of IB account window or data should I post? I couldn't find any ib traders in here -- can someone point me at an example please?

Also try IRC, go to the othernet server and join #trade for a large number of Sydney traders.

March 4th to June 15th is still just seagulling. It takes long periods in a country to start to see the real country and the real people. Canadians are Americans (or do you live in another continent?)

LOL. If by normal you mean people from your state of the USA (or wherever) with the same religion as you then you are probably right. If you should ever travel the world (and stay a bit not just seagull the world) you will be surprised how many variations there are in the world view and...

IB have resolved every issue I've had as promptly as can be expected (I've had a couple that needed discussions with their development team to figure out so they weren't immediate responses). I'm also a new poster with more experience than stockgirl and a more pleasant demeanour :)

Thanks for the clarification - can you advise the round trip delay from the HK IB server to the US servers that would place the order. My rtping to HK is 178ms vs 350ms to the US so I might still be better going through HK than the circuitous route Telstra uses to reach your US servers.

Not wishing to stop b1s2 from offering you further information but if you want to develop swing trading methodologies you can do far worse than start with John Hill's The Ultimate Trading Guide for some great ideas

Thanks Def, I set up PRTG Traffic Grapher and winpcap3.1 ( free and very good for anyone who wants to look at traffic usage ). My Sierra Chart setup collects data on HSI HHI and SGXNK normally. In that situation my connections were to gw1.ibllc.com.hk and mktgw1.ibllc.com.hk (the majority...

Thanks def, Thats half the answer and reflects how I think IB used to behave. It seems now that you connect to US servers even though your home exchange is HK. What I'm trying to understand is "does that mean that I now get my US data direct from a US server or is it still coming through...
