    I don't miss office politics.

    Working in an office is a pleasure when that happens. The larger the co and the closer you get to the core of organizations the rarer it seems to be sadly.

    IB Security Alert EMail

    I fucking hate insurance. When I wanted to move my household from NZ to Australia in November 2001 the fuckers charged me a "Terrorism Premium" ... and thats on the other side of the f'ing world. I said I'll risk it ... they said no, sucker, pay. So my vote is: IB, DON'T insure me...

    FXSOL - now seriously a bucket shop

    Actually ... by definition FXSOL is a bucketshop ... correct? All that we're disputing here is whether or not they have moved from good bucket shop to awful bucket shop. One reason they might have been good was to get some customers. One reason they might be becoming awful is that now they...

    What is happening with Asian futures..?

    The sky is definitely falling. I have had some great shorts today :) If I traded the US markets though I'd be thinking about the possibility of a long from open.

    Anyone here like HSI ??

    Thanks for the update on HHI ... its a couple of months since I looked at it. Re IB. I use IB for trading and data feed with Sierra Chart for charts and Zero Line Trader for order entry. My round trip to HK is 170-190ms and its great.

    Anyone here like HSI ??

    No. Much much thinner. I'd want to be trading longer swings to make up for likely slippage. I watched this one for a couple of months.

    Trading longer time frames

    I think it will ultimately be more important to me too but for now I don't mind. HSI is open for 4.5 hours a day (2 hour lunch in the middle) so I just look on it as "work." Still has no boss but my own success but who really objects to 4.5 hours work a day with no commute. I might just...

    Get new java to speed up TWS IB

    I've run it for two days on HSI. Its been great, running really well. On the second day I also had Zero Line Trader (Hong did an overnight update to let it run with 1.6) and that was also running better. Nice to see java get faster rather than just bigger.

    "The China Price" - The best business article I have seen in years.

    Re 1st para, running corporations: No one actually believes democracy would work and its not present in US corporations. Democracy isn't efficient and effective, its just less worse than other forms of government. Re 3rd para, 8 year term: First, you still got 8 glorious years of George...

    Are you profitable?

    Yes. But check out the P&L thread in journals if you want an idea of how profitable some people are.

    "The China Price" - The best business article I have seen in years.

    The South American countries had the extra challenge of trying to inject democracy into a Catholic Spanish culture. It will be interesting to see whether the various directions being experimented with can overcome the underlying issues that has created for SA. It does beg the question: if...

    A sense the housing market has bottomed.

    He can be correct even if your housing market continues to fall, even if it plummets. He says that "there's a sense" and as long as "there's a sense" then he's right even if the sense is wrong. 5. That which is felt or is held as a sentiment, view, or opinion; judgment; notion; opinion.

    Trading Room Feedback - woodie / Sport

    No Sport didn't learn much from Woodie. He was a friend until the room soured on him but he does seem to have held a pretty strong grudge - I think he enjoys the attention and writing his blog. ZLR, tonytrade (just read it, lol), and the various deep retrace and trendline cross trades that...

    Anyone here like HSI ??

    I generally place limit and stop limit orders based on historical price action so connection speed is almost irrelevant.

    TWS Charts vs IBcharts vs QT ??

    Don't forget to try SierraChart ... a different feel to QT which you might or might not prefer. Also ensign if u'r really big on fibs and butterflys etc. Similar costs.
