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 2008/7/31 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Is it not obvious to you that some people�s personality calls for a trading system, while others personality calls for a discretionary approach. 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.
