Agreed. Also, the OP didn't seem to be much of a programmer. To get all of the power out of a platform like this, you have to be knowledgeable in Easy/Power Language. And professional programmers can now build with the dot-net version of the platform.

That is a fatal shortcoming of NT IMHO. And then there actually was an API function they were not aware of ? Unbelieveable. That crew is looking like the one that supports IB's API.

Recent weakness in Copper can be attributed to the strong US Dollar. Equity markets in Asia were up 2% today....yet no strength for the red metal.

Finally a chart to show the recent move down. (Jan 2010 to present - lower chart; thanks to www.quandl.com) Copper is hanging onto the recent uptrend by a thread. It's down 5% so far this month. Next support is $3.50; After that $3.30 looms large. Copper appears to be decoupling from FXI...

Yep, I expected that sort of reply...sooner or later. It's no wonder why WTF sessions often end in fist fights. Techies just can't "get along"...always a wise guy, always a difference of opinion, etc. Maybe this behavior partially accounts for all of the Indian outsourcing. Those guys are...

No doubt about it. He filed the lawsuit to make himself look like "big bad Uncle Sam" was going after him unjustly.... when in fact, it was quite the opposite: He was committing fraud against American citizens.

You bet. The bad guys need to settle before that starts to happen. Once it starts, it cannot be stopped.

No, no, no Surf. This is the new standard - no freedom of speech in America. All of the SEC statements were true. The bad guys always sue whenever something is written about them...regardless of whether it is false or true. This is a well-known pattern of fraud. PA state senator Vince Fumo aka...

He is totally guilty from the looks of it. And... These allegations are really, REALLY difficult to prove solidly so as to be awarded any damages from a favorable jury trial. Will the SEC settle this out of court ? I hope not.

Well gang, it's great to see my thread back to life. After the upgrade attempt, it was gone from the new release. What a difference 2 weeks can make ! Copper has shown it's weak hand and gave up a whopping 20 cents in that time period. Strong housing report yesterday had no positive impact...

At least I got my old threads back. The upgrade was an unmitigated disaster. Lost threads and lost posts ? What were they thinking ? I loved the new features of the new release, but it was worthless without the history. And also it appeared to cause slower response from the servers.

But Surf, that book is over 13 years old !!! Surely with the latest technology and especially HFT, those techniques are outdated.

The background people are definitely Asian, but the subject looks to be eastern European.....Hungarian, Polish perhaps ? Dunno. Whatever: wow, is she hot with that "no panties" pose !!!

Interesting...thanks for that feedback COMINTEL.

Which release are you referring to ? 2005, 2010 ? I think 2013 is coming out soon, no ?

Amazing no one has mentioned the dev environment (i.e. Visual Studio). I think that makes a huge difference from a programming standpoint. Java IDEs were never that good.

Exactly....and I agree with you. Having a proven EDGE is foremost and paramount. I witnessed this day trading a few years ago. I had good money management and bet frugally on each trade. However, I had no edge, and my account just SLOWLY went down. The other "cowboy" traders blew out their...

This article depict the quandary for the metals markets in the upcoming year....nothing but China. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/what-might-bite-in-the-year-of-the-snake-2013-02-13?pagenumber=1 My thoughts are that central bank easing will continue to propel commodities prices upwards...

Peter Schiff's calling for massive inflation makes the short argument look weak now. Once again, it's a matter of timing.

Hmm...nice breakdown today...down 4 pennies on some Euro talk. FXI down only slightly.
