cooltrade has their own community board and live chat room. but you must be a member to access it. there are also a lot of discussions about cooltrade on the elitetrader.com board. I've been using it for a few years and have become quite familiar with it's many features. As someone else...

Ace, My automated traders are doing well. I just heard the company is coming out with an intraday back tester, so not only can we run our strategies in live simulator mode, we will soon be able to back test them with 2 years of historical intraday data. Cooltrade appears to be aligning...

Tippydog, I'm not an expert at creating strategies. I just follow the cooltrade bulletin board and set up a new live trading machine as soon as cooltrade announces a new strategy available. All of the strategies in the strategy wizard have made me a fortune over the last 2 years. I don't use...

I hear you. Someone told me that there was a huge discussion about automated stock trading and basically everything the board members were wishing for in a dream automated trading system already exists. But when the person mentioned CoolTrade's fully automated trading system and explained that...

That's funny you should say that. I suppose it's ok that the large institutions have competed with "program trading" against the public for years. Actually what you have pointed out is the same things I've heard since creation of the automated traders in 2001. People always want to point out...

For the ultimate in fully automated / robotic stock trading, you have to go with CoolTrade. I turn my system on in the morning and walk out of the house. It picks the stocks and buys / sells (long and short) all day 100% on it's own, then turns itself off after the market closes. Also, it...

Anyone in Phoenix or Scottsdale, Arizona (USA) is welcome to come by my office. I've got 10 fully automated CoolTrade stock trading machines running. They run completely on their own, trading stocks all day with no human involvement. If you're in the area, send me some email. Enlightened

I don't necessarily investment in all lower cost stocks, but I have one account dedcated to $1 to $2 stocks that seems to move opposite from the major indexes. i.e. when the DOW is down $90, many of these low cost stocks start moving up. It seems like large cap money is being dumped into these...

I don't understand why IB give us the ability to execute orders and check positions, etc. via the API, but not call a simple function to start and log into TWS via the API. IB needs a simple VB6 API function like TWS_LOGIN. If I write a simple program using the TWS API, I should be able to...

I have accounts with multiple brokers, include ib, and am not very impressed with any of their support departments. Leaving personalities out of it, the only thing important about a broker, is their POLICIES. i.e. how do they as a company interpret the regulations? Do they offer 2-1 margin...

Mosts of the trades in the market ARE computer generated already. MSFT trades over 60 million shares a day. That's not Joe Public trading stocks. That's institutional computers trading MSFT. By more people (The Public) going automated, the tougher it is getting for the institutional computer...

Comparing apples to apples: 1) trading in 100 share lots. OR 2) basing the shares on a percentage of the account balance (5%) or even basing it on a $$$ value, say $5000 per trade. That way the number of shares purchased will be based on the price of the shares. Given the two...

If you can trade Nasdaq stocks, then there's no reason you cannot also trade NYSE and AMEX stocks, as all 3 exchanges trade at the same time. E
