    Futures Trading Tax Question

    This is the first year I have had IB and traded futures exclusively. On the "2003 substitute composite statement of 1099 forms" that I received from IB, it only has 4 lines to it. I assume I have the line 1a and 1b entered correctly on my form 6781, but does anyone know where I should put the...

    What caused Euro jump at 7:00 PM CST

    Does anyone know what caused the euro spot to jump 20 pips tonight at 7:00 CST? I can't find any mention of important news on CBS Marketwatch that might have caused it. Some sort of fat finger trade? I see the H4 FX contract went from 1.2520 to 1.2545 in less than 3 minutes. what happened??

    Volume Histogram

    Below is part of an email I sent to Ensign about their volume histogram study and the last paragraph is Ensign's response. "As far as the existing volume histogram, I have my doubts as to whether it actually is showing correct volume at specific price levels. Mainly because it is displaying...

    Volume Histogram

    I'm not sure if this question should be here or in technical analysis. Does anyone know how a volume histogram study is programmed? I know what it is suppose to be showing, but I want to know how it is programmed. I use Ensign software and I want to write an ESPL script for a custom study...

    Computer Reboots

    As you said... "at my own risk". That's what scares me. My motherboard manual gives instruction on clearing the cmos with a jumper change. I assume this resets all config in the CMOS setup utility. I have already sent an email to the MB manufacture for guidance. I think I will see if I get a...

    Computer Reboots

    No, I had to replace the ram when I replaced the motherboard. The new motherboard took DDR ram, while the old one had sdram.

    Computer Reboots

    I now know it has nothing to do with Ensign since it finally crashed when all I had up was Outlook Express and 2 Internet Explorer windows. I did change the auto-reboot check box and also set it to do a Kernel Memory Dump. I have never gotten a BSOD. I have a 4 monitor set-up and the primary...

    Computer Reboots

    I don't know where else to ask for help. I've been getting a lot of computer reboots lately and I've been trying to figure out what's causing it. I am fairly sure it has something to do with incompatabilities between my charting software, Ensign and my hardware because I don't believe it has...

    Daytrading Breakouts in the ES

    I have a question about the various datafeeds for Eurex. If I use the IB data, (which doesn't have backfill), then I would have to have it up all night to get the European markets collected on SierraChart, right? Does this mean I would have to have TWS up all night as well? Doesn't TWS...

    DB, Just curious. Did you do anything with yesterdays first ORB? What about the rest of the day?

    Keeping It Simple II

    If your new revisions don't move the stop to BE until the trend is broken, what happened to you on Friday? Did you enter on the breakdown at 1085.50 and stop out around 1086 when the sharp down TL was broke at 10:30 CST, or did you have some other TL drawn? Did the triple bottom fake you out...

    Keeping It Simple II

    So I take it you didn't move you stop to BE when the position got to a 5 point gain? (Just before the false rally to 1063.50.)

    Keeping It Simple II

    DB, Please refresh my memory on your position on gaps by telling me whether you took the 1062.50 breakout today or not. I have a problem trusting an entry into a breakout that's going in the direction of existing gap like it was today. The gap, (by my figuring was already 2.47% at the...

    Wash Sales

    After looking at my trades in December 2001 and January 2002, I see that I did very little trading in those 2 months as I was in the process of liquidating one losing account and refinancing a new account with a new broker. So I didn't trade any stocks in November/December of 2001 that I traded...
