Let's try and organize some Meetups for the spring!
Hey everyone,
I tried to organize a few meetups last year, but they seemed to fall apart for various reasons. I'd like to see if we can get some groups together as we get closer to nicer weather. If you know of any other Texas based traders that are part of BBT, let them know to join this club. Let's work together to get some nice meetups this year. Hoping to make it to meet you all and also get Andrew down here!

Hello Everyone, I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself (Nate). I'm a new trial member here and have been learning about day trading for the past six months. I'm excited to be part of the community and hope this platform is the right fit for me as I continue to grow my knowledge and skills. Look forward to connecting with you all and learning from your experiences! -
No I have never used DAS replay. I only use it for live and sim. -

Hey guys, I am getting "can't get valid price" error pretty often when I am trading in the SIM... how can I avoid this? My hot keys are working about 50% of the time. I am using the Buy $50 Risk 2-1 hotkey where I am getting the error and I am double clicking where I want to put my stop: CXL ALLSYMB;StopPrice=Price-0;DefShare=BP*0.925;Price=Ask-Price+0.00;SShare=50/Price;Share=DefShare-SShare;DefShare=DefShare+SShare;SShare=Share;Sshare=DefShare-SShare;Share=0.5*SShare;TogSShare;ROUTE=LIMIT;Price= Ask+0.05;TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send;DefShare=200;Price=Ask-StopPrice*2+Ask;TriggerOrder=RT:STOP STOPTYPE:RANGE LowPrice:StopPrice HighPrice:Price ACT:SELL QTY:POS TIF:DAY+ Cheers, -

Are you using DAS replay? Thank you for the response! I will take a peak at those. My thought is that I will just start trading earnings and see how that goes in DAS. Cheers, -
I do a lot of replay and found it has helped alot - however I don't like knowing my setup is going to be there because it's not realistic. I use a tool called spikeet to find historical gappers. The free version is good enough to create create a gap up/gap down list for each day over the last year. Then I use tradingsim to look at those stocks, do premarket analysis and pick out what ones I want to watch. With trading sim you can have up to 4 charts, so I use two browser windows to watch 4-8 stocks (can also throw up historical spy/qqq) and another window as my trading window. I also use AutoHotKey to be able to trigger all the chrome windows to start the replay at the same time. Then I watch those stocks and look for my setups. Makes for a realistic trading experience. BBTs replay trading is pretty good as well, but I didn't like the time it takes to load, the lack of hotkeys and it's hard to setup to watch lots of stocks at the same time.
