    Jokes

    princess diana, gianni versace and freddie mercury finally get to be heard at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter explains that people have been extra nice these last few years and so Heaven was pretty much full. Only one of them could enter and as he could not decide between them he would let them...

    Anyone use Lets Go Trade (dba Choicetrade)?

    "Why don't you buy GBP futures?" In a word... greed :D I have a spot fx account. I opened it to hedge. But then you start putting in stops and then you think "I'll move it to breakeven as theres no point holding on if it plummets". Then it plummets, takes out your stop and goes straight...

    Anyone use Lets Go Trade (dba Choicetrade)?

    huh? I'm in the UK and have no problems (except the damn plummeting US dollar at the moment :eek: ) Mind you I went to Andover first and they could not deal with me unless I set up some complicated US banking thing.

    Anyone use Lets Go Trade (dba Choicetrade)?

    bullets are instant. very easy to put them on - even by mistake (:p !) have taken some money out now, so they are good there. the traderoute platform is a little irritating in some of the ways it interacts with esignal. but they are looking for a new platform (this is third party stuff...

    Do humans have a "free will"?

    On what level? Governmental. For example I happen to think that the US government is surprisingly controlling of its population for supposedly the number 1 democracy in the world. Perhaps it goes back to their prohibition days. We in the UK are not far behind them though! Fate. In my...

    Patterns that don't work anymore

    "I guess it makes John Murphy a rookie, right?" No, just another CNBC pundit. And how many of those do you listen to anyway to make money? You need to be more skeptical, skeptic123 ! :)

    Patterns that don't work anymore

    I think we have to remember basic probability theory when answering this question. It should therefore be "Patterns that work 70% or better of the time over a large sample". Therefore arguably no patterns have ever been better than random in any given decent sample. Time and again you see...

    e-signal SLOW charts

    Now there's the problem right there. Does anyone know of ANY commercial outfit that can give good customer service with so many customers? They must be signing up a few hundred every week. Churn rate is part of their business model !

    e-signal SLOW charts

    I sometimes get that. Just Press the green OK on the chart while holding the "CTRL" key to reload. On a slightly different note now that I have upgraded to the BETA 7.2 version there is NO NOTICEABLE IMPROVEMENT in Emini ticks being missed in a fast market on an advanced chart. Also...

    esignal not responding

    I have found you have to be careful with esignal. I have 4 screens with about 30 windows, so I know from experience how frustrating it can be when you think you have saved the layout and it does not take the next time you boot! The way I do it is, if you have made any changes and you want to...

    Anything better than esignal?

    is an intraday data supplier with the integrity of the daily supplier CSI. They check their data against 5 different sources before it goes out. When I was position trading it was blissful. Then they were attentive when they got it wrong. A free pen for spotting an error. And all their staff...

    Anything better than esignal?

    The problem I have with Esignal at the moment is that when the market is real busy my tick chart of the ES emini will sometimes freeze up for seconds at a time. It will then update the chart with all the missed ticks and carry on as normal. This is quite annoying and has now happened too much...
