    Multi-chart Ripping Off Tradestation

    Multicharts might be hq'd in Russia. If Putin says they are good to go then they are good to go....... What would be good is if MC gets their automated order interface together and it's better than TS8's. With TS8 you can't really get account feedback and your strat can get out of synch with...

    Sitting tight and Automated Trading

    I was thinking the same about exercise... I might get a Wii for warmup and cool down and do the weights... I take off most days on the bicycle right after the day is done and I used that for the warm up but if I can get the weights done RTH it's better..... It's sort of like being in jail...

    Sitting tight and Automated Trading

    I don't quite have an ATS up and running, very close though. It has to be babysat [sitted?] all day every day. I'm getting an Apple for surfing and Photoshop, I have a ham radio license, ill set up a rig and hang here all day hobbying away the hours....

    Sam Zell: "US won't enter recession; sees housing recovery in Spring"

    The RE bottom is years off no matter what anybody does. Stocks might rally into the election but RE hardly.... he might be right about perceptions, a couple years back 40% of those polled thought we were in a depression!! The TV and print media are not going to let GW have a good economy no...

    Now to Kill Xbox 360 of microsoft

    Wii is fun. I spent a half hour playing tennis on one the other day, it could work into an exercise routine really, the warm up and cool down parts... it's G rated fun and the graphics is cute really, they do slow mo replays from the other side of the net after every point with applause and...

    If You Use A Router . . .

    I've had a half dozen routers in the last few years, I kind of look at that whole industry as krap after all my experiences. I had a Hotbrick working here but the frigging thing died, finally I realized maybe it's an industry that needs to grow up a little and learn quality so I'll get the...

    Now to Kill Xbox 360 of microsoft

    Google apps need to get out of the IE7 browser, get away from Micorsoft and build everything from the ground up. I use their docs for unimportant stuff like journals, you can't really do much with them at all... big pain in the ass to use and limited functionality but they are always there when...

    ninja trader good or bad

    Probably you should go ahead and start up with OQ, if you're a programmer you won't have that much trouble, the documentation for a not-so-great-hacker-actually programmer is sketchy compared to Ninja Trader, it's not a show stopper.... they document their whole API in detail, it's just that...

    ninja trader good or bad

    The support really is ok. So far I have been able to do what I want to do but it feels like a game of rumpelstiltskin a lot of the time....... I simply hate C language, I had a class in it years ago, it was the most horrendous struggle to learn something I ever underwent and I'm phobic about the...

    Software to Limit Max Daily Loss?

    I would love it if I could set a max loss for the day directly in TWS... that would be a watchdog in the case that something went wrong with the automation and it started tossing money away...

    Thanks much..... I knew about that and I managed to get it right for the entry order but not the bracket order!!!!!! :( I worked with a guy that was a programmer, his career went back to vacuum tube computers, he was a very rare breed indeed. He said that you need a huge ego to program...

    Conservatives Just Aren't Into Academe

    I'm happy for the people that develop their own world view apart from the academics really, academics and liberals are known for buying into all sorts of irrational things, as is the whole human race..... why think of academics as "experts"? I rarely do. We had academics come on to ET showing...

    Reaver--guilty or innocent?

    Yeah Reeve, watch it buddy, God and carcanaques are both watching you now, it's not just about "God and the age of grace" [and not reporting babysitting/lawn work money to the IRS] anymore, it's about the Feds baby...... all you sinners get caught sooner or later, don't you know that?

    Stupid

    California went from dumb to dumber... fully half the illegals are illiterate in their own language!! Wifey and I were buying veggies in the Mexi-market last night, a lady in front of us couldn't do the math to know how much she could buy so she asked the clerk a question and ran back to get...

    Reaver--guilty or innocent?

    Wow, an investigation, somehow I don't think you are going to stir up much activity from the feds or whoever would be prosecuting the case...... the next step might be that they have to prosecute their own department for wasting money.......

    ninja trader good or bad

    Yes, OQ is a lot better but not set up for the non programmer to learn easily like Ninja. I can't get answers to things via their 3 different documents and the forum sometimes.... today I'm realizing i have to answer some of my own questions by experimentation, I have to stop everything when I...

    QuoteTrader or NinjaTrader and do I need Ensign or Sierra?

    Ninja trader is nice. Trading from the chart for manual scalping is really their best feature with the automatic bracketing of trades. I can't imagine manual trading with Openquant at all, in fact I have Openquant for testing and automation and I use the free charting from Ninja when I want to...

    Thanks much, I got some sleep, things seem more normal today... bottom feeder got wasted, he can serve as an excellent bad example for kids in the neighborhood.. this is a weird town, murder rate running 15 per 100,000 for the year so far..... for photography it's fantastic with the sunrises and...

    Short exciting lives.....

    gang banger got knifed to death by a visitor to a neighbor's house last night. I heard a commotion and it sounded like somebody was getting hurt so I called 911. He was knifed and kept repeating "Damn, Nigga". When I heard him I didn't even know he was dying but after the fact I realized that he...
