Samson, I use a firewall, adaware, and spybot, like you, but have also found that trend micro's free scan has consistently caught a few the others missed. It's free and it's at their site.

Regarding percentage participation in profits: Years ago I shopped an arbitrage idea with an institutional desk, who, after signing a non-disclosure agreement drawn up by my lawyer and reviewing records of positions I had already traded, offered me a 20% cut. Since the trade was genuinely...

vlad, Do you happen to have a link to the whole paper? Thanks.

Bone, This functionality is to support gamma-type scalping so lots of spikes both ways are welcome.

dloomis, Esig EFS, I currently subscribe to and could program in TradeStation (won't because no link to IB) so I would be doubling up on data and charting costs. Looks like DynaOrder may handle directly though and I'll look into it. T.Net, Thanks for confirm that it can be handled by API...

NN, Thanks, though learning to program the API is not high on my priority list. But in case no one has a recommendation for an order entry product that already has the functionality: are you sure that the API will allow me to have a "fill generate order" continuously (that is, not just...

Comrades, Is there a simple way to automatically enter the following type of trade in TWS for ES: Sell at 1130.00 if filled Buy at 1129.00 if filled Sell at 1130.00 if filled Buy at 1129.00 .....continue until price hits 1132? Thanks.

Steve, I took a look around Wilmott but did not see any discussion on trade sizing. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks.

TNET, I read your posts quickly and am still unsure whether you: a. modified your existing order from to purchase at 9 (to purchase at 5). b. entered a new order to purchase at 5. If the answer is a) and you had two fills, the error is in the software. While possible, I will note...

Bloomberg has delayed quotes for the current 10 yr TIPS about midway down the page. I have never seen an index for TIPS and while its possible, doubt that one exists. http://www.bloomberg.com/markets/rates/index.html

Trend Micro offers a very good, free, internet based anti virus program called house call that checks for trojans, and has caught things missed by ad aware and spybot. In the right column is a link to reviews and a comparison to other av programs...

Comments cautioning about using rear-wheel drive in the snow are spot on. I've had two MB's that had difficulties in snow. In fairness though, my BMW 5 series with traction control handled the snow just fine last winter, not the same as all wheel drive, but not far from standard front wheel...

Comrades, Are there any order entry platforms that provide automated entry for ONGOING gamma scalping type strategies? For example: Sell 1000.00 If filled buy 999.00 If filled sell 1000.00 If filled buy 999.00 etc. where the rotation/scalping would continue until...

Compusa.com is offering, probably for a limited time, a free performance test of your systems basic functions, processor speed, video speed, memory cached and not, ranking it versus similarly configured systems and suggesting fixes for problems. The test can be accessed at their website on the...

RDRAM, e.g. the PC 800 someone referenced earlier, is used in pairs, for example two sticks of 256mg each or two sticks of 512 each. If there are 4slots, like in one of my machines, you have two pairs. If you are using a P4 based machine with RDRAM take this into consideration because you...

There is considerably more risk here than you are thinking. For example using your numbers, if you purchase the strangle at 6.60, then purchase the underlying at 38 for a scalp which heads down past 35 and stays there, you can potentially lose 6.60 - [40 (put strike) - 38 (purchase price)] =...

I am thinking of picking up a few ultra small profile P4's, but have only found ones that have imbedded graphics. Relatively speaking, how bad is video performance with imbedded graphics (Intel Extreme) when there is plenty of system Ram, 1G +, versus performance with a dedicated video card...

One of the reasons I posted is that my Dell Dimensions P4s are very noisy, even after replacing two power supplies. It seems that by Dells own data sheets, we cannot categorize whole model classes as quiet or noisy...
