IB
Today had 3 nice sized trends, unlike most days. Have you tried it over a period of time? Even simple moving averages work some days (if you...
Not to push this thread farther than it should go, but my fills today resulted in net positive slippage of two points on the NQ emini, on 11 round...
Where at? and why small? :D :D
I believe there is a conversion kit to convert Digital to Analog at Radio Shack, etc.... Probably not a good option though. Better to become...
On a similar note, I use to get fills on my Globex stops occasionally a 1/2 point beyond my stop. Lately, all my fills are at, or occasionally...
Bypass the office network and use a modem. You might get fired though for the security breach. :)
I am forced to trade on a 56K and have instaneous fills on the emini's using IB, with a charting program running 5 or so charts at the same time....
Just to add a caveat to what I said before about minis. If you ever consider trading them, don't start with less than $10K trading 1 contract....
You should consider futures. The emini's give lots of leverage to small accounts, and the commissions are much cheaper than trading the...
Qcharts works great for me--stocks and futures. If your the ultra-scalper then paying for a faster horse might be worth it.
I hope IB isn't his broker, he might take down my futures account! :D :D It's probably that guy from France getting past the margin rules again!
What good would size do in front of a freight train? He might slow it down, but he would be arbitraged out fast.
I was being facetious about the Force (Star Wars). Here is the balance of my day--quitting early while I'm ahead. I just use price to base my...
I have to thank Savage for inspiring me to rework my trading plan to account for "chop" that occurs most of the day. I Currently use a...
Unfortunately it's not politically correct to do the right thing in this situation.
Impressive Savage. 40 points or so on a suck day. That inspires me to press harder on these eminis. :)
Must be all the <25K traders that moved over. So the "mode" must be 1 contract, with the .7 coming from large trades which skew the "simple" average?
Thanks for the replies. I tracked the NQ for the last 4 months intraday and traded it the last 6 weeks. Of the last 16 weeks, this last week has...
The average is probably skewed by the larger players, but I'll say 75 contracts.
