Historical data is always tricky. For decision making, it may be useful to look at non adjusted data, since on the tape, it may be perceived as a price fluctuation. But when dealing with performance and returns, it's important to adjust because from a stock holder perspective, holding 100@28...

Sent them an email and got: "Already replied several times on this issues today. The FINVIZ charts are dividend adjusted just like stockcharts.com" I compared the close and the adjusted close from yahoo historical and does seem to fit. Yahoo! does not use the adjusted close in the...

This is very interesting. It looks like the price scale is two low by about $1-1.5 for that whole period? Have you feed that back to FinViz? I'm intrigued now. It doesn't look to be a dividend adjustment problem or a split adjustment problem but it could be I guess... You say you've...

Nobody is gonna offer that... not the way I think you want it. You can lease a server in any datacenter and get good internet access, then collect data from wherever you want using that internet pipe. OR You can collocate with an exchange in particular, they will disseminate their...

If speed is what you're after, you would need to collocate to different places depending on products. Chicago for futures and commodities and NY/NJ for US equities, etc. Collocating is expensive and they give you the rack or cage and the cross-connect, you need to do the rest (networking...

I won't comment on the actual valuation, a lot goes into these numbers. But I think FB is a lot more than a vehicle for ads. It's a marketing gold mine. It's what marketers have been after for years, direct feedback on the ads, on the products and everything else. Without contacting people to...

I'm researching this for someone else... I saw several other threads cover this but never really saw an answer. In this, there trading done with an institution accounts (IB) under an LLC or Partnership. Business has it own EIN but no payroll. Just two partners. Seems like all the...

I have a follow-up question on this... More to do with Bookkeeping than with Taxes. For tax purposes, I download everything from IB into Tradelog and it's pretty easy to generate the report. But I would like to do bookkeeping in QuickBooks also. Importing from IB to QBPro is really a prob...

Thanks for all the info Neo.

The 13F-HR is a mandatory SEC filing in the US required by a lot of money managers to indicate large positions (over a certain %) in various instruments. Several websites (like: http://www.gurufocus.com/ probably, I'm speculating), individuals and other money managers use these filings to see...

Need a little help from someone with experience reading a 13F-HR. Similar questions were posted before: http://elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=112638&highlight=13FHR But no answer came out. I figured I could start a fresh thread. If I see this in a 13F: APPLE INC...

If I could I would "just have the TV mounted on a wall and not mess with the laptop". But because I can't and don't even have access to cable, I use a slingbox (http://www.slingmedia.com/) at home and connect to it with the sling player. Works nicely.

I've been following this thread and I'm looking at HSI's monday morning open right now. I have a couple of noob questions... What kind if target/stop setup is possible on this beast using a 1m chart. Looking at it now, I see a 10 tick spread (10 ticks * HKD50 = HKD 500 or about USD$ 65...
