So you are running TWS in Ubuntu and QuoteTracker through Wine? How can QT possibly communicate with TWS as they are under a different OS? Sounds a bit too good to be true. I tried Ubuntu 6/7 some time ago, it didn't work properly and looked rather ugly too.

Of course not. If price falls to the floor, trading will cease completely, as there are no more buyers at that price. I just want to see how badly the bagholders will then scream!

What exactly is "5 second data", does it use a lot more computer resources, and how to set it up? For both osorico and OldTrader: may I ask, how much volume do you do, how many futures per day (or month)?

Because the only duty of a Congressman in life is to turn food into shit.

Are the new 10" mini-laptops, such as the EEE PC, good enough for trading? Can they be connected with a big external monitor (at least 24" and 1920x1200)? Do they have enough capacity to run the IB TWS? http://eeepc.asus.com/global/1000h.htm

So what if the Iraqi oil contracts go to some Western oil companies? Where's the "scandal" in that?? Would you rather have those contracts going to the Russians or Chinese? Most of the oil revenue will go to the Iraqis anyway. Or are you complaining that the Americans will steal it?

I've had something similar in mind. Though I can't believe in a blowup up to 200, that just sounds way too extreme. As it should, of course.

Intervention??? With what are they going to intervene? The US government has no FX reserves to speak of.

Today just before the close Jim Cramer posted a list of "companies I have NO CONFIDENCE IN WHATSOEVER". I agree, in the long term they are dead. But in the short term, they could well bounce due to the Cramer effect. Here's the list. Let's see what happens. C GM LEH MER WB BAC WM FNM FRE...

Looks like you are going to make a big mistake. Big down moves are a huge warning sign, not a buy signal.

The new model IS the 3G. $199 or $299. http://www.engadget.com/tag/3giphone

Hmm.... I don't exactly get what you mean, but I'll just add that this is not any common German thinking, rather an individual analysis by someone who I believe is well respected for his strategic thinking. No other comments? Nobody has a clue?? I'd guess an Israeli strike might cause a bit...

Joschka Fischer, German ex-foreign minister and ex-terrorist, writes that Isreal is going to strike Iran soon. Does this make sense, or is it just some propaganda? Friday, May 30, 2008 As things look, Israel may well attack Iran soon By Joschka Fischer As a result of misguided...

Great calls, again. Why was 1392 such strong support? How do you define (strong) support? Now the title of this thread finally starts to work!

Ok, thank you. I am trying to understand what you are saying. My time frame is from intraday to few days and weeks.

That was an excellent call. So, no more green. Time to go all-in on the short side?

There are percentages for each of the 4 different temperaments in the excellent Van Tharp article mentioned above. NTs seem to be very rare, only 2%. Can the figure really be so low? I remember reading elsewhere, it would be much higher, like 5-8%. Here is the NT chapter: The Promethean...

What exactly do you mean? Why should NQ and ES react differently to the different Fed scenarios?

The new 900 series does come with Windows XP. http://blog.laptopmag.com/eee-pc-to-get-intels-diamondville-hard-drives-and-fashion-forward-style Very interesting as a mobile solution.

Of course we are. Very much so. All I know is that house prices in both UK and Spain were far higher than in the US. But how much exactly? And how about other European countries? Anyone have data on this?
