ES Trade Logs

What is your execution like through IB. I am considering them myself. Do you think there is much of a difference between Globex Terminal and IB...Or do you know? Are you on a T1?

Oh..by the way...Congratulations on a great day! Nothing makes for a better weekend, Huh.

How can you take short and long at the same time? Is it possible technically? If you are in long, and want to short at the same time, doesn't that mean you sell your long position? I haven't traded emini but sounds interesting.
 
A buy offsets a sell and a sell offsets a buy. In a single futures account it isn't possible to be long and short at the same time. Short in futures doesn't work the same way as in stocks.
 
Thanks Arbster.

I do indeed trade over a T1. However I have also been successful over 56K from a hotel room. Bandwidth isn't the issue, latency is.

I can't compare to the Globex terminal. Doesn't matter much to me anyway since I don't scalp anymore.

Charts speak a thousand words.

Post more charts and you'll probably grab a larger audience from ET and get more constructive criticism comments.

It's also nice to look at charts and compare them to my own trade signals to see what other trade signals other traders see.

However...the ultimate charts (more work...reason why most probably don't do it)...

are charts of what the trade signal looked like (on your computer screen) at the time of the trade that you reacted upon and initiated a Price Entry and then another chart of what you saw for Price Exit...instead of one complete chart that produces a different image because it contains all the intraday down/up peaks.

More...

Does anyone out there know of software that will "plot" you trades for you? I would love to post more charts, but they are such a drag to draw...

In this example there are two trades:

1. Short at 10:47:59, covered at 10:49:47

2. Long at 12:07:21, sold at 12:10:43

Does this explain it? I usually try to *bold* the short trades.
