    How long is this bull market going to last?

    Me think it partially depends on how fast the Fed hikes the rates. I would watch the US yield curve slope closely.

    Can we ignore this market indicator since its a NEGATIVE prediction????

    In the late 1990s, people ignored warnings like this as they argued " this time it is different " because of the internet, which was then called the information super highway. Now people think this time it is different because of the expected repairs of physical roads and highways. The only...

    US Citizen Trading From Abroad W/ Regulated Firm?

    It's probably related to FACTA, which required the firm to report to IRS your account information every year. Too much hassle for the firm.

    will this thing power up 2 big dell ultrasharp displays at 1900:1200 ?

    The websites notebookcheck.net and notebookreview.com have some of the best reviews/discussions on notebooks. On the other hand, I doubt the op will take the advice from posters here.

    Why good platforms ignore mac?

    Desktops are commodities now; one can even build them on his own. No real need to buy them in a fancy but expensive and restrictive package.

    Why good platforms ignore mac?

    +1 from a programmer with 15 yr professional programming experience. Mac is a close system by design where Windows is an open system. And windows is no longer just a GUI on top of DOS.

    Reliability -- Dell vs. HP vs. Lenovo

    I only work with notebooks because they are compact and portable. Having used several Dell Latitude, HP Pro, and Lenovo thinkpads (formerly owned by IBM), I must say I like thinkpads the most.

    Does TWS support a time-based stop order?

    yes, it is doable. You can set the effective time of the order,e.g. oct. 31, 2013, 12:00pm.

    Anyone runs trading as a family business

    I mean, with children and relatives heavily involved. If so, is it beneficial to everyone involved given not everyone is cut out to be a trader? In any case I will appreciate if you share your experience.
