    Complex trading strategies

    I would recommend that you take a look at NeoTicker. It allows you to use the programming language of your choice and is a very powerful platform. Of course, it really depends on what you're trying to accomplish. The main reason I chose to use NeoTicker a long time ago is that it allowed me to...

    Need Prop Firm for Overnights - Mostly

    I think you've just pretty well summarized the "current state" of stock trading. If you can't make money with DuPont then you're not a good trader! Heck, it pays a 3.3% annual dividend, so just lever up 20:1, hedge with the SPY and you're rolling in the dough! How can you lose? ;-)

    Quotes Plis died! Long live Who?

    I've also been subscribing since at least 1998 and was just about to ask them why I didn't get updates for the last few days. I noticed that I didn't get charged my normal "Annual Fee" in October and they instead started charging me on a monthly basis ... I think that was probably a nice...

    How would you run a stock up?

    Gee, this sounds a lot like most of the IPOs in 2011! :D Another common method is when unscrupulous operators buy what is called a "Stock in a Box". This is basically a defunct company that is still listed on some exchange. They then perform a reverse merger with the new "Hot" company and...

    Anyone have a solar pool heater?

    Here's a few other things to ponder: A. Sticking solar panels on the roof results in lots of holes in the roof which over time can result in leaks. B. They make nice sails during a hurricane and therefore require lots of holes in the roof to keep them secure ... see A above. C. Of course...

    Anyone have a solar pool heater?

    The HOA's can be a real pain in the a$$. Luckily my backyard is private so the neighbors won't be able to see the panels. Good luck.

    Anyone have a solar pool heater?

    Welcome to Tampa - I also live in the area and have recently been researching Solar pool heating options. Below is everything you ever wanted to know about Solar Pool heating but were afraid to ask. Good basic info: http://www.fsec.ucf.edu/en/consumer/solar_hot_water/pools/index.htm...

    No Branding - Like A Rat!!

    I clicked on this thread looking for amusement and am now wondering if the TheRumpledOne is Jack Hershey's cousin? With many years of trading experience under my belt I can definitely state with confidence that buying the daily low or selling the daily high and closing the position after that...

    Trading Chairs

    This is a great chair and I bought the leather version with headrest about 5 years ago. This puts it at around the same price as the Herman Miller Aeron. Prior to this chair I bought an Aeron with lumbar support. It's not a bad chair but the hard plastic front is definitely uncomfortable...

    Pair Trading Strategy Journal

    If one is trading only 7 to 10 pairs then a 20% drawdown is a real possibility unless they are trading only contractual pairs or ETFs. Unfortunately, these vehicles offer very low returns unless you are trading them 1000 times a day and scalping 0.0001 cents. The Flash Crash wiped out a lot of...

    Pair Trading Strategy Journal

    I don't want to rain on your parade but a much more realistic expectation is to make 5% to 10% on an unleveraged portfolio of pairs with up to a 20% drawdown along the way.

    This Might be a Big Story?

    I'm actually very surprised that the stock associated with this news isn't experiencing any negative effects! I guess it is possibly one or more of the following: a. no one has put 2+2 together b. everybody is asleep at the switch c. everybody is on vacation d. everybody already knows that...

    This Might be a Big Story?

    You have to assume that if Drug Dealers in Tampa have this figured out that it's probably going on all over the U.S. I guess even the street crooks have figured out that "White Collar" crime is the way to go...

    Wht do I keep blowing fuse?

    I would look at the above very carefully. Most battery back-ups use a switching power supply design and when these kick-in or are turned on they can draw a large surge current which can pop a breaker. Try removing the units from your set-up and run a few days to determine if the situation is...

    Questions on NeoTicker

    As a long time NeoTicker User I would say that the slowness is caused by trying to use IB as a data feed. You need to use a true data feed like eSignal or one of the supported feeds listed on their web-site. My workspace consists of four 24" monitors, utilizes lots of NeoTicker charts and...

    Things that identify a bubble/Top

    The two most obvious and ominious signs that I ever got: 1) the girl who cut my hair told me that she owned two condos pre-construction and that real estate never goes down. 2) the BrightHouse networks cable TV installer told me that he was a real estate investor and owned 5 newly built...

    Sentiment Is Too Bullish

    My opinion is that I've never seen things so Bearish. Everybody and their dog are talking about a Global Depression and even government officials are confirming that we are in a Recession and that a Depression is a possibility. I have friends and family crying to me about their 401Ks getting...

    Let's play "teach IronFist how to use volume in his trading" (lots of pics)

    If you did not read or understand my posts I will explain further, but I thought I was pretty clear? I am in complete agreement with the statements made by lindq; he sounds like a trader who has done some research on volume.
