Ed, Thanks. For those who intend to write their own backtesters, I *really* recommend Powerbasic. It's just so fast - for example, it allows you to place a few long and FP type variables on the CPU registers directly (just by declaring the var with REGISTER varname as LONG or EXT). Now that's speed!...

Hello, My 2 pence (not cents, I'm British!) on this matter. I started off by buying lots of trading eBooks and courses to "teach" me trading. Some were good, some not so good. However, I always wanted to create my own system that would run on autopilot, so I stuck in there, got in loads of...

Actually Michal - you've hit on an interesting point: PC setup for trading. - What antivirus/firewall is used (ie. will it slow the trade execution down)? My routing for orders has been IDEALPRO for Forex with I.Brokers, however this has been with their demo account while I'm practicing my trading. ...

Hi Lutra,

Thanks - that does help. Use your TP, and you can always re-enter the trade if the trade ends up trending (not always the case).

Your re-entry strategy: for a short - do you use new lows from a prior pivot, as pointed out on the chart?

Agreed - a difficult one. Posting our experiences with execution speed would be a good start - maybe another thread??? I have found Interactive Brokers to be a little slow at times - using their API trading. Sometimes 10-15 secs for the order request to go through. However, I'm fairly new to trading...

Hello, This is following on from Peter's post on Exit Strategies, Tue May 22 2007. I have a specific example I'd like to discuss. Below is YM yesterday, 1 min: a great day for shorting: http://kreslik.com/forums/userpix/831_YM_1.jpg I shorted at A. 14:30 is market open, UK time I took 50% of my prof...

Nice work Michal. As you point out, the key question for me is:

- Speed of execution

if we are scalping in a fast market

I have - their support is excellent: [Quote:] Hello Alex: We plan to add support for several new Forex providers by year end and one or both of the vendors (MB and Interactive Brokers) you have listed will likely be added. We will send a general announcement note out once they new provider are avail...

News just in: I've just found out that NinjaTrader does not work with any FX companies other than GAIN Capital - despite managing all other orders (Indicies, futures, stocks) with most brokers. What a bloody con!!! So I'm cancelling my subscription until they sort it out - shame, as the software is ...

Thanks 4x=0. I'm experimenting using PC side order management software - no results just yet, as I'm looking for software that works with EFX Group (I was with Interactive Brokers). Maybe this way the market makers don't get to see you play your hand? I'll have a look for Danill - I assume he is on ...
