    Even / Odd lot - trading

    I do odd lots all the time now... I always thought it might be a problem but once I started I have found no noticable issue thus far. I have my software set to a fixed dollar value for each trade and it rounds it up or down to the nearest five quantity for neatness sake. Not even been...

    DOD, Geneva Convention, Rumsfeld

    It proves a few points I think... seems to be a tremendous and sudden lack of interest in what is going on in the name of the people right now.. threads here about the actual major news story across the world for the last week.. the torture.. are very thin and quiet.. Its clear that this has...

    do you believe "Scientist" has "over $100k" in his trading account?

    very entertaining.. where are they all now? I put scientist on ignore ages ago so its been fun to read some highlights of his nonsense without all the rest of the crap.. I think he is a total egotistical lying idiot who may.. but probably wont.. grow up one day. Not to say that there are...

    Pairs Trading Strategy Model

    I think one problem here is that people often define for themselves the meaning of something.. pairs trading clearly means different things to different folks... its impossible to declare anything definitive this being the case really... some regard it as 'statistical arbitrage' or...

    fully web based tech software?

    Prophet would be the best bet I agree.. for the live charts it needs java to work... but you can get other charts that will update each time you load the page which will work without java if needed I think.. you can also do scans on intra day data and if using java then could do a certain...

    Is there anybody here from France ?

    okay that is a fair point about cavuto.. my words were too strong, I apologise to him.. he def expresses dislike or frustration but that is not hate I concede.. and the whole oil/vested interests aspect is just too huge to bother with.. not convinced any major western govt can hold their...

    Is there anybody here from France ?

    Being english/irish I cannot speak for the french people.. but then neither can any one person speak for their own race either.. but in my experience the french people are fine with americans.. the establisment has an issue with the anglobalization of their language and culture.. but thats a...

    Scanners & Watchlists

    Not found any yet.. I like the prophet scans.. very good especially as you can search in so many ways and as you say see the results as many small charts, which for me is way the best manner to review them... what I do not like is that it is web based.. would much prefer a software based...

    What Kinda Chair Do You Trade From - and The Importance of Good Seating

    My old comfy armchair is now outside in the rain and destined for the dump! It got on my nerves in the end and so I threw it out.. I am not sure it helped my trading at all! Now I alternate between my leather rocking so called 'poets' chair.. a snip at 100 euro.. when I feel relaxed.... and...

    Medved QT and MA's

    I cant see a great problem myself as a new user of QT.... what you see is what you get.. and as it varies between ZERO cost if you like adverts.. and very little cost if you dont.. what on earth is the problem? 200 ma on a 15 min chart might mean a great deal to some.. seems pointless to me...

    Gary Smith challange, any taker?

    The thing is that everyone is SO fond of making dramatic statements to support their own particular theories.. as in the above.. why do you exclude those happy people who trade those markets who merely make $5k per day? Thats not so bad is it? Maybe you know stuff of course.. like there are...

    Medved Quotetracker or Sierra

    Both I say! I have used plenty different charting packages and this is what I have settled on now.. no system seems to previously have given me exactly want I want in the best balance between cost and features.. Set up now is IB feeding Sierra on my older pc with two monitors.. using...

    Multiple mini charts?

    Thanks but not really.. those mini charts are streaming intra day charts by the looks.. similar to several other progs.. this is what I mean as described above.. will try a screen capture... as its web based one of the few advantages is once a page is loaded you can just scroll down the page...
