Whether America is no longer, or is headed to future where it will not be, a superpower. Hydroblunt, you are correct. Globalism is not a haven for fair trade when US factories with millions of living-wage jobs are expected to compete against foreign factories with wages of...

There is no doubt as to the astronomical growth of health care expenses, unless one is an elitest from the cradle and never works in their life. Pitooy on such people. I worked for my upper-middle-class life, thank you. The debate is over the solution, and as a hard-line capitalist, I suggest...

I'll take appease for 10 contracts.

Side-by-side order entries performed by hotkeys on equally-configured TWS platforms. Futures orders from 1 to 100 cars, at various times of day.

To paraphrase another post somewhere on ET: "Successful traders do not sell their systems at any price unless they are dying soon, their loved ones have no interest in trading/retiring young/financial freedom, their best friend steals his system and his liquidity, AND their wife leaves him...

>>Quote from Alexis: To make sure you won't miss a "good one", you have to take them all. Absolutely all of them.>> I disagree. This is a sure route to broker enrichment and personal bankruptcy. It is far more profitable, not to mention easier on the heart, to design a system that produces...

That is a mouthful. And true. But indiscernable from politics, to all but those free of political agenda.

I tested the IB sim account and found no noticeable difference in the bottom line between sim and live. This is not true of other sim accounts I know of.

dagobaz, you are correct. Some of us have been around to see more than one cycle through this economy. Regardless of the enemy with nukes, regardless of the value of the dollar, regardless of the political bent, we are merely in a cyclincal move down, bound to be corrected in time. If you are a...

What I meant was to paint images combining elements of success in the markets. Flags, money, freedom, recreation, trading screens, smiles, travel. Could you paint something like this, not abstract but not a portrait either? How about combining other art in the background with some torso in the...

Reminds me of newbies asking the pros for their system... lol

Your options: 1. Uninstall your AV software and take your chances. 2. Configure your AV software options to stop popups. 3. Upgrade your shareware-version AV software to a full version to get rid of most popups.

Oh yeah. My AV and file access software auto updates, and my performance profiles have not declined over time. I save them for comparison. There's nothing eating resources or lurking.

If it is true that 98% of new traders make trading decisions using emotion as part of their criteria (their gut), I agree with the posted percentage of failures.

Elven Princess is nice but holds no relation to Wall St. May I suggest inspirational works with themes of early retirement, success and wisdom.

Ever visited the UK? Their middle-class is equal to our low-class. You could sacrifice standard of living for lots of dreamy expenses, health care is just one example. If Hussein wins, he will gut the military ala Slick Willy, and you will get your wish at the end of his reign in 2017. Ever...

How about improving your system instead of just leaving town?

'Tis the game of politics. The game pieces are the politicians and the game board is the nation of citizens that the pieces step on to play their game. Yeah, I vote but I don't trust a one of them.

Agreed, 1000-car limit orders should fill during periods of adequate volume.

I don't try out software new to me, or go surfing blind, on my trading machine. I don't use Outlook for email. I have software and hardware firewalls. Haven't seen virii in 8 years.
