Yeah, Clintons...... We were riding a wave of enhanced productivity from computerization, huge IT spending by private capital to shore up against Y2K, the internet bubble, etc. What did Clinton do? Starve out the military and the infrastructure of the US so that when somebody that cares about...

It is learnable, I'm getting pretty far up the learning curve after 5 weeks. The C# coding can be frustrating but if you search the 3 available help documents packaged with the software and search the forums you can find enough example code to get things written. Programming is greatly enhanced...

I'm building a system for scalping an index future. I'm finding that volatility targets/stops are working for the morning session and fixed ones are working mid-day. The latter part of the day may need something entirely different because neither is working that well so far. I don't have a lot...

The way he landed on his shoulder was not good. I doubt that he has to make up injuries, exaggerate the heck out of them maybe, that's what lawyers are for, no? I know a couple of bounty hunters, they have some forms they can provide, for a fee of course, annual fee no less, that when a cop...

i think it was ibcollector, thanks much :)

during the weekend there was a thread started by a guy that was selling software to download data from IB but it seemingly was deleted. Can anybody give me a link to the software site?

The odd thing is, and I believe this can be backed up with stats, smokers use less of the health and welfare system than healthy people do due to the shortened life span... that was the argument the cigarette companies used to introduce cigarettes to the socialist Eastern European nations a few...

I've done a lot of backtesting, years of it, and I'm from the school now of "learn to trade it then program it as an expert system". I do a lot of system pre-development by looking at the charts... I have reserved the idea that I can express a data series by a whole lot of very simple patterns...

Does anybody ever just plot home prices? They fall for years, then they run up like mad, then they fall for years....... the bottom is years off, the downward spiral always starts when rates rise and credit standards are tightened.. currently we are in an unusual situation, rates are probably...

I suppose feeding cyanide to people is banned pretty much, tobacco should go the same route..

TS2ki!! You are tenacious! I think that MC dropped the tracking window idea a year ago, they said you have that functionality in TWS already, which, as far as I can see, you do...

American Indians were starting to win sympathy in the East when Crazy Horse wiped out Custer, the sympathy went away and more Indians got slaughtered after that... but Indians could sustain themselves without help from anybody... Palestians have to be the numbnuts people of the world don't...
