I was hopng that someone could lend their expertise regarding the best way to protect oneself from potential rising mortgage rates over a relatively short term period. We have signed a contract to build a home which should take ~ 9 months to complete. If our mortage is a hypothetical...

I'm taking the dog for a walk one morning and I notice a huge area of dried blood on the street. WTF is this I think...Next day my neighbor tells me that the construction guys ran over a huge rattler that had come out of the marsh and gutted it for the meat. Welcome to Jacksonville...

Hi Sulong, We do have some eco. news @ 10:00 (Factory Orders and ISM Non-Mfg.) Granted, not earth shattering compared to Employment situation, but still something to be aware of if they are out of range of consensus. Good Luck!

This happened to me once with a raincheck item that did not come in until AFTER the rebate had to be postmarked. The OM store just took the rebate value off the total price, saving me the hassle of even sending in the rebate.

Hi Sulong, I think your thread is a great idea! The person that helped me when I first started trading "strongly suggested" many of the exact points that db made regarding documenting and then reviewing what occurred during the day. After many alterations, I have a rudimentary one page...

TS, Before I change my charts for tomorrow, I'll give this a shot and post my 5 min ES chart from today (1.29). What I try to do is identify areas where a price level initiated some type of action. This could be a rejection of the price level or bounce/support of the level. I'll start with...

Correct...IB had e-cbot data problems throughout the day after the FED announcement, especially during the first 10 minutes post announcement. Apologies if the context clues did not draw you to the conclusion that I was specifically discussing the fact the all e-cbot quotes were down as...

Hmmm.... I've had TWS flashing on and off (just for a fraction of a second) most of the morning on my FA account. Universal Account hasn't had a glitch. Maybe certain IB servers are having issues again (at least that was the way IB C.S. explained it to me the last time.) Yesterday...

QT will save the previous days data from the IB feed, so you shouldn't have any lag in your indicators. Obviously, it depends on what time you start the program in the morning and if there was a large gap from PDC in the GLOBEX session which could skew things. For e-mini S&P futures the...

Fast, Did your e-cbot quotes stay up on Open E-Cry? I lost YM, ZB, ZN for about 10 min post announcement but Globex was fine with IB.

They actually give you a basic ATI PCI card (which is next to nothing). The other nice thing about the 400SC is that if you wait for the "right" time, you can get a 2.4GHz P-4 HT 800MHz FSB for about $350 after rebates. Dell also has this sometimes-on, sometimes-off, bizzaro return policy...

AVG picked up crap that Virus Scan missed when I got highjacked. Can't hurt to give it a try!
