I find those very useful as you can launch up to 16 charts in one window straight from the scan results.

Thanks Amit, in absence of Mr Charts today, that was helpful. Managed to scalp 20c on AIG early on and 12c on OVTI.

Has anyone found a way to show previous day's high / low on IB's charting software? As far as I knew this feature is not available other than by manually drawing lines.

Hi Richard, I've only just got around to reviewing these trades. I notice on the QSFT trade that after the entry point, the next candle shows the share price rose by around 50c before resuming the downward trend. What factors made you stay in the trade at that point, as I know I would have...

I foud this difficult too and I used to work for a bank, the US terminology doesn't quite fit with UK banking terms. I simply used my online banking to send a payment to the sort code and account quoted on the instruction from the account management response on the IB site, when I "registered"...

Anyone?

Sorry, I should have stated that I only trade US Stocks, I was referring to the NYSE?

I have an account with IB funded from my sterling bank account, but I will only be trading US stocks. How does the system manage the currency aspects of this? Is my account converted and held in US $ from the outset, or is it maintained in Sterling and converted to US$ on a trade by trade basis...

I have a question about the Level 2 information provided through the TWS Market Depth window. This only shows the MMID aggregated by exchange at each price level e.g. NSDQ. Is there any way I can get Level 2 which shows the actual Market Makers e.g. BOFA, Barclays etc?

Can I just clarify please - as a UK resident does the Pattern Day Trading rule apply to me if I wish to day trade US stocks?

Here's the spreadsheet I use to work out the entries for V4. Another stop loss today :cry:

You're not alone Brew, I did exactly the same thing. Ah well here's looking forward to better times tomorrow.

Another warning today came from ATR as this mornings range (8-10) was a little over 80% of ATR14. Maybe this is still a good indicator.

I don't like the way FTSE has set up this morning - I logged on just after 9am and it had already broken through what would have been the "buy order" level 6101.8 and is bouncing around a range of 6100 and 6105. Think I'll have another look at the range at 10am, but might stay out today. Update...

...and target hit for a 10 point end to the week - cheers Tom. I make that a positive 25 points for this week with 4 targets hit and one stop hit. A very nice start for V3.
