TRO,
I haven't had time to browse the TradeStation forum lately, so I have very little understanding of how you got booted out altogether. Unless you have been self-elected as the next kingpin of Ponzi scheme or the like, it seems little too excessive that they actually banned you outright. I wonder if TradeStation even has such right?

TRO, Whey closed your account? Why?
Do you know any other broker which has platform with built-in programming language? I tried to find such broker but found nothing :( They claims IB has easy API but anyway it takes a lot of time to learn API, I'd like to have a broker with easy to learn built-in scripting language. Any suggestions for such broker?
Alex

I got booted because I started my own forum on yahoo!
Then I posted a few things that TS didn't like, Joe Nikolson, president of TradeStation's cell phone number, being one of them.
Many traders called and emailed asking for me to be reinstated.
Instead, they closed out my account because they can choose to NOT do business with anyone.
Sometimes the squeaky wheel gets the grease, sometimes it gets replaced!
But, their decision, was not "bottom line" oriented.
NeoTicker has seen an increase in business. So has EFX Group and MB Trading.
TradeStation has no idea what they started when they kicked me out!
Stay tuned...

I hear that MB Trading provides a decent direct access. Being a former CyberTrader, I would recommend that you give them a try as well.
Well, TradeStation being what they are, you can't blame 'em. I would join the others in the great exodus to the land of (ahem, somewhere) with you at the helm, but I love my TradeStation too much to leave just yet. I wish you a good journey and a string of luck on ure new adventure vis-à-vis endeavor.

Rumpledone, I learn lot from your posting. Thank you very much. I need some clarification. Please see example of ISRG
It closed on Jun 2nd at 117.08 and opened at 116.23 on June 5th. High of the day was 116.94. But closed at 109.87. Can you please explain Fading the gap filter for this example.
Thanks in advance.

$116.23 is below $117.08, so it GAPPED DOWN.
That means you BUY.
So if you bought at $116.23 and the high was $116.94, there's $.71 of potential profit.
Let's say you bought 1,000 shares and took $.50 profit... that's $500!
$500 gross a day is $125,000 a year if you trade 250 days.
MAY ALL YOUR GAPS BE FILLED!

But the question remains as to HOW ure s'pose to have known THAT was the high of the day, namely $116.94. Now that it's clearly printed on the chart, It's easier said than done. But can you bet ure shirt as it unfolds in realtime?
