Any tips on hold future contracts overnight, over the weekend and at expiry dates.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
i have a live and funded Tradestation account and have been learning Fibonacci replacement tools for sometime now to use to trade. The Tradestation Order Entry team also gave me tutorial on how to make orders but i find myself not having enough confidence …
Just click the image above to go there. Someone may be able to pick it up and respond to you there. I do not, frankly, expect anyone to provide "live training," but they may have some tips or ideas that you can use or places you might go.
Good luck.

The best advice I can offer you is to browse the topics on the main page of the forum and dip into them, or look at the new posts in the new post list for post titles that interest you, and give them a look.
If you have specific questions that your reading suggests, then pose them in the threads you are exploring. If you have a specific question that interests you now, but are unsure where to go, just post it here and we will see if we can make a suggestion for the next steps to find an answer to it.
It is a journey. Good luck with it.

I have seen several recent posts you have made, and I hope you are getting the things you need.
I think these questions in these posts are relevant to every trader, so I have opened a new thread for them, based on the last sentence of your first question above: " Does anyone care to suggest a basic method I could consider as a starting point to reforming my dysfunctional ways?" :
I have lost most of my capital in the past 4 months after almost doubling the value (ouch). The US stock market small caps went south in Feb. I cant recall how I lost all that money. One trade was a loss but I brushed it off and went on to another trade …
This is a great question, and it will interesting to see if it attracts any suggestions.
Good luck.

I have set up a thread in the NinjaTrader section for your question. There are many technically strong members on the forum, and you may find a response there:
I want to create an indicator using VS.NET. I do not want to use "NinjaTrader.Custom" solution. I want to create it in a separate solution.
Can someone help with how to reference Ninjatrader Dlls?
Also, can someone share information about how …
Good luck.

I'd like to activate the trade entries portion of my Ninascript stategy with a keyboard event such as CapsLock. The general idea is that the strategy would always be running but a condition of any trade entry would be CapsLock being in the down position.
Using the standard NinjaTrader tools to turn the strategy on and off is too cumbersome for the quick decisions I need to make. My primary purpose here is to make more efficient trade entries. I experience too many misses when I do it manually.
The most on topic information I've located so far is a discussion of the c# Keyboard.IsKeyDown(Key) Method at a MS C# site.
I can't post the url here but you can locate it by Googling "Keyboard.IsKeyDown(Key) Method"
I'm confident this is the stuff I need but I can't get it to compile and run. When I declare the bool referenced at the above MS C# site I get a message telling me I must declare a body, and that has left me rather clueless.

and , the excellent exchange of the last few posts on the question "In the equity indices, does every price movement have to be a direct reflection of the basket of stocks they represent" is important enough that I think it deserves its own thread. It is asked all the time, and the nuances are important and very interesting.
Short answer: arbitrage keeps them in step. Nuanced answer (per ); yes, and it depends.
In the equity indices, does every price movement have to be a direct reflection of the basket of stocks they represent or can market makers still move the market as they please in the short term as they would in forex and others?
