Hi candles We have an account with IB & use the TSim+ API to carry our real & simulated trading which works v.well. In addition TSim+ is free & well-supported. We've not used TSim Lite but the website help or FAQ's may be able to sort you out. Cheers A&L

TSim Oatman, Don't know if you use this but the TSim API for IB takes out a lot of the hassle of simulated trading, & its a lot better than the IB demo. http://www.tradingsimulation.com/ has all the info. Cheers A&L

Thanks JonnyT We're trying to get away from SB but we still have an account with D4F - we'll try the currency pairs with them. Cheers A&L

IB Symbols Hi We're just starting to look at Forex for intraday trading. Does anyone know what the IB symbols are for USDCAD & GBPJPY currency pairs. Thanks A&L

Hi Lockstock Just tried my connection again & got on finally!! Thanks for your help

Cheers Lockstock - hadn't seen that but glad I'm not the only one having problems not that it's any real consolation at the moment!

Hi Tradesmart Thanks for that info - guess I'll just have to be patient!

Hi Is anyone else having a problem logging on to MyTrack this morning? It can't seem to connect to the Server & I don't know if it's a problem with MyTrack or our server - if anyone could come back to us it would be much appreciated! :rolleyes:

Bill, I've had a look at your method & I think it is good. the only part I'm not sure about is the length of the string of numbers (8 on your spreadsheet). This constraint could cause you to miss certain trends, e.g. if the price/RSI jumps quickly over a few minutes & then decreases just as...

Thanks Bill I'll check this out tomorrow at work. Can you confirm whether your price & RSI values were manually entered or automatically entered? If automatically, can you let me know what software/data feed combo you use. Thanks A&L

Bill, I had a look at your previous postings regarding RSI strength/ratio. I can't work out whether you have used the difference in price & RSI or their absolute values. Using MyTrack/Sierra I can read in an updated price into a worksheet cell but it's not possible to automatically...

Bill, We have definitely seen "SB bias" with D4F. We've calculated that, on average, we need to make at least 15pts on a Dow Cash trade just to break even due to the spread/bias etc. When you add on your stop loss this can make the minimum target at least 25pts. As a result it is difficult to...

I personally think that SB trading, particularly for intra-day trades, is becoming increasingly more difficult due to the relatively high spreads & the "skew" that SB companies such as D4F always seem to have. Lately it's been easy to lose & very hard to win, even though you use a consistent...

Hi CM RSI strength seems to be an important indicator & we've seen it discussed quite a few times on these boards. It would be useful for us if we could graph RSI strength on Sierra as this would then save on calculating the values by hand. Have you tried to do this? - if so can you let me know...

Thanks AGB I've finally got it working by clicking on every other chart I had set up but hadn't used in a while - I don't know what I did but it started working again! I think I'll lose the will to live if it happens every day! Thanks for your help anyway - much appreciated! :D
