Based on your other post where you do not understand AON orders and now buy instead of sell, you obviously should not be trading live. You should learn what different orders mean and familiarize yourself with your trading platform. Simtrade until you understand how to operate your trading tools before you place live orders. If you don't, then you will continue to pay the penalty with mistakes like this.

Hi Thales You are spending a lot time here this evening to prove to the doubters that what is happening here is the real deal. The people that matters (by that I mean people willing to learn, understand what trading is about, know that they are responsible for their own actions, respect other people), already know that. For the people that doesn't, this is pointless trying to explain anything to them as they are normally just unhappy about being failures and looking for excuses why what they are attempting can't be done and in their mind anyone who show otherwise, must be a fraud. They will never believe you regardless. This is just not worth spending your time and effort on them. Just ignore them as talking to them will not get you anywhere. The people who matters already understand what this thread is about and appreciate it for that. The opinions of the rest just don't matter and don't deserve any time from you to justify anything. In a way, you have to feel a little sorry for those people. The highlight of their day is to post jibberish on an online forum, but in the end of the day when they go to bed, they are still the same miserable losers who hate their life and they know that.

I hope you'd reconsider. If we just ignore the idiots and trolls, they will get bored and leave. If we leave instead then this will just be another ET where the trolls rule that is good for no one.

Yep, you covered it all and there is nothing else. Good job. Now you can finally stop flooding the forum with the same stuff every day.

So, all you are saying that when the market goes down, that some stocks will still go up? That's your whole point ? That is kind of obvious and common sense, isn't it? I don't think anyone expect 100% of the stocks to follow the market every day, but this is commone sense that most follow the market, since they ARE the market and this is the path of least resistance. I think I understand Kiwi's post now...

So, your oscillator tells you at the end of the day that a stock outperformed the market for that day? Sounds very helpful...

Where did you get that "William O'Neal is basically the father of candlestick analysis"? I've never heard that before. Thought that is Nison's claim to fame to have brought Candlestick Analysis to the Western World, but that candlesticks have been used for centuries in the East.

Reformat, reinstall and don't download pirated software again. Btw, what does your post has to do with "Trading and the Markets"?

Soul, is the owner of this site and is not trying to sell you anything. This is not a system, but just an introduction on how TICKS could be used. If you want answers to your questions, put in the screentime and effort to get them yourself instead of expecting to have them spoonfed to you. If you feel his post is not useful, then just ignore it. The post is after all almost 3 years old.

I wouldn't be so quick to blame the broker. This looks like you don't understand what AON orders mean. It does not mean that you will get definitely filled as you thought and AON orders have the lowest priority. If this was an odd-lot order, your chances to be filled would have been even lower. Make sure to Google the different order types so that you understand what they mean before placing trades to avoid issues like this. Not understanding order types can be costly, especially when you want to close a position.

Why do you try to pick what to copy and what not? Just copy and paste the text file Tams attached. It contains everything you need. Open the attached Text file then: Ctrl-A Ctrl-C Create a new indicator in TS then: Ctrl-V This is not so hard, is it?

I don't know. Maybe log on and look?

You haven't even copied half of the code. It's a wonder it even compiles. Why don't you copy and paste all the text and try again?

I don't agree that you need to have more winners than losers. There are plenty of methods that have more losers than winners that are profitable. What is imporant is how much you win on your winning trades and how much you lose on your losing trades. I think a bigger and more accurate lesson is that you don't need to have more winning trades than losing trades to be successful. If you have 6 losing trades each losing $50 and 4 winning trades each winning $100 then you are profitable with only 40% trades profitable. On the opposite side, you can have 6 winning trades making $50 each and 4 losing trades losing $100 each and you will have a losing method even with 60% profitable trades. If you want to really learn an important lesson, google expetancy and risk management.

Why wouldn't you ask questions like this to IB? I don't understand why you would rather believe the answers from anonymous posters on the internet instead of getting the official answer from the source?

Based on your first 4 posts, not much... Maybe you would feel more comfortable on another forum?

Actually it is neither. They have two fees. $10 a month for their standard subscription bundle market data iff you don't generate $30 in commissions a month. Up to $10 a month for inactivity fee. You pay the difference between the $10 and the comissions you generated. So, if you generate $5 commissions a month, you pay $10 data fee plus 5$ inactivity fee. If you generate $10 commissions a month, you pay $10 data fee and $0 incativity fee. If you generate $30 commissions a month, you don't pay anything. It is all on their website.

I thought the volume distrubition in OEC is only on the DOM and not on the chart? I also recall a thread on here somewhere about some kind of bug in OEC with volume in the DOM? Was this fixed? If they have a volume distribution chart indicator, this would be awesome indeed and you can't beat the price. I guess one can program one too. Not sure if the OP would want to.

Do you guys realize that before "i trade's" post today, the last post in this thread was almost 2 1/2 years ago? I am not sure if you will get any meaningful feedback on your questions on a thread this old.

I doubt that one is better than the other. Some days one will look like S/R and other days price will just go through it like they don't exist. The "advantage" of PP's are that you have more lines, so a better change to have prices reached some of them. VWAP has a bit of logic behind it, but PP for me are just lines without any logical reason behind them and I haven't seen a system trading them profitably. Some people even draw the midpoint lines between R1 and R2 and S1 and S2. If you draw enough lines, some of them have to look like providing S/R at some point. Thinking something will provide S/R just because a formula based on yesterday's OHLC say so makes no sense to me and is the same than moving averages that people claims provide support. You can draw any length moving average and see that at some point it look like they provide S/R. If you want to learn S/R, I suggest you look at the DBPhoenix's thread on here about defining S/R in foresight. That makes more sense to me than drawing random lines on a chart thinking they will provide S/R.

And if it does, this is probably not worth doing it and one can probably get a better return by just putting the money in a savings account, or buy a CD.

If it was me, I wouldn't do it. I would write it off as a bad mistake and vow to not let it get me down and recover from it. Imagine how rewarding and how much confidence it will give you if you can recover from this and get your account in the plus side again. This account isn't really about the money anyway is it? It is to prove to yourself that you can do it in real time with real money. If you start over each time you make a mistake, I think this defeats the purpose. Mistakes happen. Get up, dust yourself off and do better. Just my two cents. I know I don't contribute much to this thread, so feel free to ignore promptly.

It depends what you want to use it for, doesn't it? What is better? A Land Rover or a Porsche 911?
