status1, congrats on dragonfly, even if it was a paper-trade only. One way to make DFly work is to find days like this one. I find it hard to achieve on a long run. The other way is to find days where conditions are good for DFlys to fly and if, at the same time, they are met with you expecting...

This is my approach as well and this is the reason I'm skeptical about automating the process. I wont be able to participate. I'm around but have to push my to-do list. Lack of time was the main reason I do not do daytrading anymore. Will gladly watch the recording (where I can put some time...

Yes, relatively easy but it makes little sense to do so. Commissions will eat you up or code has to become very complicated (and less reliable). Beside if code will trade, the trader might get some $$ but will miss all the experience that comes with the project. Huge loss, imo. This is...

Thanks. I'm unfamiliar with this one. Actually I had to goggle it :) Not sure what are the deployment options with PL/SQL but you know what you are doing. I do think that ONE-IB converter, even if in minimal form, will be welcome by traders. You can add a lot of functionality to it even to the...

I mean coding lang..

Stick to the plan and find if there is real interest :) Unless you want to do it anyway :D Project can be a rather simple or grow to full blown app with graphs and other functionalities... What lang are you planning to use (as primary at least)?

Stephane, we are on the same page regarding Excel. This is rather not the way to go but can be a start and point of experimenting. I think your plan is sound. Find if there is interest first, then do a liitle, then gather feedback, add more functionality, and so on. I jumped from assumption...

Stephane, excellent job! It is very unfortunate that ONE does not have those options included. Mechanism you described can be used to share trades between users of ONE, but also, with some modifications, to share trades between ONE and other platforms - which may be very practical and helpful...

Quite true. Once you understand this you are better of. With some type of traders you can use MID prices without much problem - not always but most of the time you can do that. With other types this behaviour is very important and simply invalidates the whole concept of 'back-testing'...

Just watched recording of last meeting. Thanks a lot Tom, but especially Wayne. Data sources for monitoring house market and explanations were so good that even I could understand them. Actually I'm in lookout for a new place right now and see first hand what was said on the meeting. I don't...

What I said does not related to ONE in particular. All market data 'consumers' are experiencing this issue. In short: the problem is that market data are usually snapshots with all market fluctuations and inaccuracies captured - a natural thing if you think about how market works. This is the...

M12, you get good answers from srk. I add few things/advises from my end. Be careful with forming your opinion solely on ONE results. If you do, you may be deceiving yourself. Not that ONE is trying to deceive you but by very nature of how it's design or rather data it uses - not bad but can...

If you think of putting ONE on separate hardware there is an option like this one: www.amazon.com/Firewall-Hardware-Security-Appliance-Barebone/dp/B09PHGWPMB?tag=wundertech-20&geniuslink=true I bought smth like this about a year ago (not the one in the link, mine was half the price). It came...

I don't use Macs nor ONE neither know about Parallels .But if one needs ONE on MAc I'd look for another VM beside Parallels, there must be at least one or two more VM hypervisors to run Windows (well should be...). Other solution would be to run ONE in a docker container (or smth similar)...

Not sure if this is in a scope for 101 but as Charles suggested some comparison of structures can be done in one of next sessions. As Wane mentioned in TG1, Boxcar Trade is less than optimal for the environment we have. I expect that even RTT type would do better, especially if day-tradig...

Thanks, Tom. Not sure if I have time for 101 tomorrow. Do I have to sign in to get invit?

I couldn't cast a vote. No biggie - we'll get there. I'm for Razzle Dazzle (I think I've traded it before (with Scott) but forgot what it is :) ) @armac topic for this 101 session should be satisfying for you. If you "get" the day-trading options (paper trading can be a good playground as you...

Hey, you may laugh at the pic but if you sell some rule based trade you pocket much more than if you sell a real guide how to trade. Just place yourself on the other side of a window. Works all the time! ;-) PS...

I'm not so harsh on gurus anymore :) At minimum they do present some ideas to consider, improve and maybe implement. Without exchange of experience lone traders would be in worse position.Gurus can be helpful for new traders to start off. The problem is that some do not try to cut gurus away...

It's bit of personal but also objective warning (imo). As Tom mentioned Sheridan Options (I can get the name wrong) was one of few, if not the only one, source of info for retailers stepping into options world. It was/is aimed for beginner traders. As such many topics are simplified, sometimes...
