Thanks for that, very helpful.

Kindest regards

Sounds like i am going through exactly the same process that you have been through, and boy is it time consuming ha?!!?

You warn against shorter term systems. Did you research them to the same extent as LTTF? I have started off with swing systems as CF (and others) have said they are the best ...

Excellent summary of Prospreads! Good interview with the CEO too! Thanks for that.

In your listed drawbacks you say that Prospreads 'Introduces another intermediary (=Credit Risk)'. Any different to any other spread betting company?

An API thread will be useful for some people now i am sure ...

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't sure if Jens meant he scrubbed the trade or just didn't bother with the S.L when TB threw up a massive S.L.

Thanks again for taking the time to answer, much appreciated.

Hey Jez

I have looked at Prospreads and on the surface they look very good, only problem is their minimum bet. They are indeed aimed at 'pros', and this little black duck ain't quite there yet! I have spoken to them several times with rudimentary questions and they were very helpful. My aim is to ...

Hi Jens

Thanks for the reply. Your thoughts are very helpful.

I am working on short term systems at the moment and have been wondering whether to add the spreadbetting spread or include it in the TB calculated S.L.

Would you mind exlaining this a little further? I think i understand but am not ...

Hi Medius

Thanks for the reply.

I have TB Pro. I thought that would be enough for me as i don't have a clue about coding but the more research i do the more i think i might have to learn!

I did find that part of the reason that i was being stopped out was using a stop of less than 1 ATR. Doesn't ...

Thanks for the reply. Shortly after posting the question to you i found the thread with the blox you mention. Will down load and start playing with it this week.

Slightly different topic but one touched on in this thread. I too 'only' have TB Pro. I wonder about the merits of Builder. Is there ...

JDC

Working on this problem currently, nothing brilliant to report yet.

Have you settled on a solution that works for you?

I have run into the same problem. ie. placing spreadbets on UK open to see them stopped out and TB still has them active.

I can see 2 potential solutions, i think both are mentioned in this thread.

1) Only trade on U.S time, which i need to check but i think is possible.

2) Once in the ...

Thanks very much for your sage thoughts, they are greatly appreciated.

Off to tweak some dials!

I believe that Ted does indeed live and thrive and visit the Forum. I believe he still posts, albeit perhaps under a different nom de plume.

The key to duplicating a system like Ted’s is (as he says) to say humbug to the high priest of the Trading Tribe and all the rest of the gang and to try ...

LOL! About my standard too!

Unfortunately, Ted has been missing from the forum for some years now - probably basking in the sun on some tropical island drinking pink Daiquiris and making bonfires out of cash.

....and you say you don't have anything witty to say! Thanks for the reply! Did/does Ted have a preference for pink ...

I am looking at running a swing system and a LTTF, or perhaps molding the 2 into one!

Anyone have any suggestions for swing systems, books, resources etc?

I see earlier in this thread Ted Annemann (are you still around Ted?) says '...there are tons of truly excellent trading systems that only ...
