You can have multiple versions of java installed but force tws to use the old one. The command line I use is: "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_11\bin\javaw.exe" -cp jts.jar;pluginsupport.jar;jcommon-1.0.0.jar;jfreechart-1.0.0.jar;jhall.jar;other.jar;rss.jar -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -Xmx256M...

Running companies into the ground is just healthy capitalism - evolution in action - and part of the great learning experiment. Just like learning to trade, most people don't experience a straight line of personal growth.

Comodo firewall (or - not as good - zonealarm). AntiVir or AVG virus detection.

Never give a sucker a chance ... and one of the keys is secrecy so that the sucker doesn't know who he is. Rock on parasites!

These are old messages. Its an old Con. Anyone remember T. Lobsang Rampa --- and can anyone tell us who he really was. Regarding the packaging: remember that a pig with lipstick is still a pig. I watched the first part of Opra's special and she bought out all these exceptionally...

Stay up a bit and trade HSI in the evening ... hell, sleep in tomorrow morning.

The "secret" of a really good con is to give the appearance of some value. Its like a really good disease ... it doesn't kill off its hosts, it lets them keep on giving. I guess by your offended response that you are a sucker. How would you feel is I suggested that public lotteries were...

The secret is a way of extracting money from suckers. Simple as that. An Aussie con that's sucked in a lot of Americans.

Using "dumb expectancy" instead of zero or non-zero sum then share markets are positive (for longs) and share shorts and futures markets are negative (because my misuse of zs was pointed out earlier in this thread). IMO the dumb expectancy sets a level for joe average. My goal has been to...

TOM134 has once again proved to be a total fuckwit using this poor ignoramus's problems as an excuse for a stupidly negative rating about IB. Moderators, hes a total wanker ... how about removing his stupid rating (someone got rid of the last one)?

Trading futures is not a zero sum game for the players (traders). Its negative sum because of the fees and commissions removed by game parasites (only 90% say is left for players). In the same way, roulette with double zeros etc for the house is negative sum. Long only positions in stocks...

A quick glance at that chart shows that there is not an inverse correlation between shanghai and hong kong (run a correlation and the answer is -1 or close). A quick calc shows an 86.4% correlation between ssi and hsi daily. But don't trade hsi as a substitute. HHI would be closer if you...

I agree re customization ... they're a framework ... although I think one should start with as much simplicity and if one went with watts and wanted support as little customization as possible. Re NQuoos characteristics ... I don't agree but even if I did it wouldn't take away from the...

Ensign has fantastic drawing tools (construct pesavento stuff with fibs and gartleys and things). SierraChart has caught up a long way in that space but Howard's a tool freak :) Sierrachart has more logical data storage (one per symbol) so its easier to change times etc. Sierrachart has two...

Here are two easier options: 1. The floor traders method (nquoos site) 2. Watts trading method (watt's site)

Most successful traders probably don't have a secret method to give away. Over the last 5 years I have met a few successful traders and a lot more unsuccessful traders (many of whom no longer try). The successful traders trade the same strategies that unsuccessful traders trade.

I think you are stupidly attacking Steenbarger for writing a forward to a book that he regards well and then saying that he regards it well.

When someone obsessively attacks someone else's trading method ... what does it tell you about the attacker?

Sierra Chart's profile is also correct. Ensign's didn't used to be in that Howard was using a symmetric distribution around the POC and the CBOT method is usually asymmetric.

Yes, the longer timeframe data is data from IB that I refresh to ensure it includes all highs and lows (I won't need to do that once SC integrates the new "true data" 5 second bars that IB are just now delivering). The shorter timeframe is live collected data so its IB's snapshot tick data...
