    Chickenshit politicians won't go on Fox News

    I would never vote for somebody too chickenshit to be interviewed or debate on Fox News... who do these asshole politicians think they are? If they can't play hardball in a debate they sure are not up to playing hardball with the big dogs of the world...

    Automated Trading

    I decided against Tradestation because a strategy can get out of synch with the account. There needs to be tighter feedback.

    Multicharts User Thread

    I could not mix tick and time bars on the same chart with Tradestation but to my delight I find that I can with Multicharts. That allows me to build a strategy that uses tick and time data streams and that is much easier and less error prone than what I did with Tradestation, to build the time...

    New Bug in IB Software

    "We tested for this and caught it before release, worked to correct it and then released the software" would be a lot better. I've worked in software testing. With enough effort bugs can nearly all be caught ahead of release..... the OTC ordering thing was not particularly arcane, in fact it...

    How much of the subprime losses remain to be booked?

    BofA was technically bankrupt for a long time after bad loans to South America, they had only half the required reserves allowed by law but noboby shut them down, it was better to let them work their way out of it, less disastrous for the economy.. Regarding people walking away.... only if...

    Did IB get freaked out so it still holds 100% intraday margin in some markets?

    It's the API... if there were other brokers with API's that software developers were building to there would be some competition... I can't do a thing with TWS, it's ugly, I like to use NinjaTrader with IB but I can't program the thing much so I am working up things in Multicharts.. which only...

    Clinton Bombs In Dem Debate

    It's discussed on urban legand sites. It could have been taken just before the national anthem started or something.... besides, they are facing away from the flag so none of them are following protocol....

    USB Toggle?

    USB driven monitors are coming on the scene. http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/other/display/samsung-sm940ux.html A USB switch controllable from the screen with a mouse will be a great solution to the multiple computers-single set of monitors/keyboard/mouse problem.

    Know when you are turning PRO

    That makes more sense than the dual broker thing. IB has had their outages recently with posters here on ET saying they did not know if they had a position or not. If you can't find out what the position is you can't offset it with another broker. The telephone service becomes paramount at that...

    “A miracle is needed to avoid recession”

    The more I dig into this the less deluded I become... real wages have fallen? I'm not so sure, what if after tax wages are higher due to tax cuts? I recall earlier that George Soros was predicting a recession for the US late in 2007... well, it's late in 2007, there goes another expert...

    Clinton Bombs In Dem Debate

    Ron Paul could gather up the people that want to return to the stricter view of the constitution and the anti-war crowd.. Both of those sets of people have nowhere else to go... he might pick up the anti immigration folk too, the major parties have a 40 year track record of open borders...

    Trading on Acid

    I quit drugs pretty much once the quality was not there.. too scary taking something somebody made somewhere... no clue what you're getting most of the time... bad dope can wreck a life, I don't recommend any of it nowadays.... I spent a week in a mental hospital after shooting up some speed...

    Multicharts...???

    Essentially I want the computer working for me instead of the other way around.... it's a philosophical thing I developed after working with computers for 3+ decades. I screen with an online screener that outputs to an excel file... I would like to copy all the symbols from excel and paste...

    “A miracle is needed to avoid recession”

    These vultures are always hovering over the economy predicting dead carcasses will appear next... This housing cycle is little different than previous ones except for the subprime thing. Lots of that subprime stuff was sold to European banks so who gives a ratz azz about that issue, some of...

    Multicharts User Thread

    I sort of don't think MC is set up for somebody that trades intraday off the screen, maybe off indicators or automated... sort of lacking in that area, probably they can engineer that stuff in and will I'm sure. I looked at the list of indicators and didn't see a "volume by price" or "market...

    Iran and WW IV

    That is the actual point. Hegelians want a much bigger conflagration in the ME so they can assume more power and control and subjugate/destroy their religious and philosophical enemies at the same time... outside of that I think the world is in a good place nowadays and the future will be a...
