That's me! I am looking forward to my new adventures in stupid robot trading.

Thanks for the response. I can understand that people are sick of answering questions like these but I did have a relatively specific question and these products (and the resources supporting them) do change so I wanted to check for current opinion. My own evaluation thus far is that...

Does anybody know how eSignal's EFS compares with TradeStation's EasyLanguage? More specifically, I'm curious about how eSignal with Dynaorder and IB compares with Tradestation for automated trading systems. Thanks for any comments

Which index options are you trading (or would you recommend trading)? The SPX and OEX options are so large that they don't offer much flexibility and they have significant spreads. The QQQ options have great volume but with the QQQ at such low levels there doesn't seem to be as much bang for...

bundlemaker, let me begin by saying that i have no doubt that hypnosis and nlp work for some people. this doesn't mean, however, that they work in the ways or for the reasons that the proponents of these techniques claim. take a look at the critique at http://skepdic.com/neurolin.html, for...

I should probably note that eSignal tick bars are limited to the beta release, currently only allow a single day of data, and does not allow drawing tools. There are, of course, other platforms that offer this functionality.

Does anyone trade using tick bars (i.e., candlestick charts based on ticks, e.g., 150 ticks to a bar, rather than minutes)? eSignal recently added this functionality to their Advanced Charts and I'm not really clear on how to make the best use of them. It seems like something that should be...

There's a lot of good feedback on WealthLab. Do you need the developers version to do intraday analysis? There's a WealthLab group on Yahoo (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Wealth-Lab/messages) that seems to have some activity. One of the advantages of WealthLab, like TradeStation (although...

My wife had a work related crisis that she needed my help with so I ended up missing it. Did you see the thread "What's the catch?" (http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8135&perpage=6&pagenumber=1)? It had some interesting comments on system development. I am very slowly...

oh, some of these guys have worthwhile things to say. if you're not familiar with options there are some good introductory talks and if you're interested in generating some investment ideas then some of the newsletter people (like mccamant) might be worth checking out. personally, i'm going for...

The San Francisco Money Show is scheduled for this weekend (http://www.moneyshow.com/sanfranciscomoneyshow/attendee/index.shtml). I doubt that you'll learn anything there but it's free and I'm a sucker for free highlighters and water bottles. Besides, it's at the Marriott so you could also pop...

The summer of 2001 was miserable for both cable modem service and QCharts. The reliability of both have significantly improved (although I have since moved to eSignal). I had the choice of either cable or DSL at my current location and I opted for cable despite the theoretical benefits of DSL...
