Louis,

 

Since I only make trades 3 specific times a day, I don't worry about the trade delay. I do use IB automatic trading. I have just finished testing it. I would watch my auto trade and then trade it manually. Now I am switching to auto trading completely. I had Barry write the trading program for me. It seems to work great. However, my trading part may have a problem which prevents a trade occasionally, but it doesn't prevent my trading from being very profitable. I only trade gold futures which as you know as very volitable.

To Tom: Do you use IB automatic trading?  Is it possible to test such feature?  I find that intraday trade delay is a major reason why I don't make any money.  If I was faster I could do better.

Thanks,

Louis

I think that is the best thing that I've read on this thread!

 

I agree. I have found that I am too emotional to try day trading because I make emotional decisions. That is why I developed an EOD program to trade. When that was very profitable,  I had my EOD program converted to a real time program and auto trade. I use a dat/night chart and only trade 3 times a day. Now I just watch to make sure the auto trade is working correctly.
