    internet connection?

    No, not true. Static IP means that you get to have the same IP address over time ... so others can find you. Dynamic IP allocation means that the IP address is given to you on a session by session basis. You may get the same address or it may be different. It has NO implications for the...

    Why do people use Volume, Range and Tic charts?

    I'll have a go at both of the last two PL. 1) On the cci, it really is one of the noisiest indicators because the closing price is part of its equation ((close-sma)/normalizing factor). But, if you find the right time/tick/vol frame its divergences can be useful and because its price based...

    Technical Analysis, from a Quant's Perspective

    This is an irrelevant issue. If 5 different successful technical traders (not analysts) use 5 different methods because most of us find methods that work for us why would we expect a person who doesn't believe that any of them work to be able to prove that they do? All that matters is "can...

    Technical Analysis, from a Quant's Perspective

    Not true or we would simply use random entries. And Van Tharp's acquaintance's experiment with random entries (which aren't so random if you check the methodology they actually used as they are determined partially by what happened last) doesn't give what a good technical trader would consider...

    Why do people use Volume, Range and Tic charts?

    SierraChart provides all those options for a lower price than Ensign. They have fewer Fib type tools but better market profile. As a time bar user I will disagree with proflogic about their utility. Something for everyone in trading.

    Why don't more people trade index futures?

    A big tick guys. I don't own a pickup but simplification and not getting trapped into keeping up with the jones is a huge part of a happy life. Good trading.

    Excellent Indicators to daytrade the ER

    You may have an adxr (averaged adx) rather than a raw adx. If there are 3 inputs rather than 2 thats a dead give away (try setting the last one to 1 to create a real adx) Also shorter timeframes (like 1min) will create higher adx values than 3m or 5m

    Why are the best trades winners from START?

    This is an illusion caused by your minds deletions, distortions and selective memories. It may also be created by stops that are too tight and stop trades out within reasonable noise. Assuming that you don't exit too early on ones that go against you a bit then you should be able to prove it...

    IB Security Alert EMail

    gbos is right but the risk is very small for any one individual customer. Use a firewall (zonealarm say), run a virus checker (antivir say), and every couple of days run spyware software (Xoftspy, Spybot search and destroy). The risk of someone trying to trade your account is much much...

    IB Security Alert EMail

    IB encrypt the logon sequence so the highest risk is probably on your local PC. With all passwords its wise to change them from time to time and to ensure that they are not easily read over ones shoulder (use some odd characters in it).

    trend following delusion shattered

    Yes PL, This is like the stupid arguments we get into here about predicting vs reacting and whether systems/strategies are predictive or not. If one defines trendfollowing in as stupid a manner as Surfer does then you will get the results of stupidity. If one applies intelligence and...

    IB Security Alert EMail

    He didn't say there was any insurance HD. Thank God. He said they are applying IT and intelligence to the problem rather than wasting our money. Go to ETrade if you want insurance - consider that to be your next job. F off and leave the rest of us to enjoy IB's improvements (and for f's...
