HSI is excellent. There are probably 10 catchable moves of that size each day so if you pick half of them its a pretty nice 4.5 hours trading.

DAV, Would you give me an opinion on philosophy of software upgrades. My philosophy for mission critical systems (eg, TWS, charting, order entry, java) is to defer upgrading for a period to allow for additional issues to be resolved in post Beta testing by people who are either less...

One thought TL. Short of either Howard adding a little extra script or IB dumping the message how about restarting during the time that CME shuts down each afternoon. Most exchanges of importance are out at that point.

LOL. Thats true.

H is Howard at ensign ... and for some reason he apparently didn't incorporate software to ignore the "there's a newer version" message. Given how easy it is I am surprised (he's a good programmer). I'm sure IB run a full set of prerelease tests but there are so many environments out there...

I think they do but there are so many environments out there (and so many ways of doing things) that you can't catch everything ... Would you run the latest IE or anything complex if your money depended on its stability, before it had been out for a couple of weeks? This is a mission critical...

LOL. Its coming down to my level. My statements are correct too :)

I love my TWS ver 860.9 Heaven is an earlier rock solid TWS :)

I used to support a bit of software that did it but stopped because Sierra Chart incorporated it into their login. Their are some TWS Login programs out there that do it. Easiest would be to ask H to fix it ... show him the script ... it really would be trivial for him.

LOL. Howard could fix that so easily and let you stay happily well behind the bleeding edge. My autostart assumes the condition and closes the box in such a way that if the condition isnt present then no harm is done. EnterUserNameAndPassword: Sleep,300 WinActivate,Login Sleep,300...

You might want to look up an article in the TASC library called New Market Paradigm by (I think) Downs.

Let us know what comes of any recommended platforms. I suspect that the issue is the strategy's implementability not the platform.

Where/what is the windows version of Camino?

Happy you liked it 50c ... I dropped IE7 pretty quickly too. But now that Firefox 2 has removed my criticisms of FF1.5 and I've found out how to set up firefox to be faster than Avant I've moved Avant to browser 2. If someone does try FF I recommend the following add ons: Adblock Plus...

LOL TD, The focus in this one has changed. The last one linked therapy with trading issues. Since then he's spent a lot of time with traders working on performance and the book seems to be about this aspect!!! Quite an important one :) PS. enough exclamation marks?

Possibly Steenbarger's new book on performance may address this although hes not really a strong believer in emotionless trading. In his previous book he did deal with the mindstates that we get into when trading and how to shift them so we can be more productive. Personally I think the...

Not surprising after yesterday afternoon. I've surprised myself by having a good day anyway (normally I give a bit back on the choppy days after a big move).

Regarding rollover I find the best way to look at it is this: HSI rolls over on the day before the last business day of the month. That means that late in the afternoon the current month will stop trading. If you watch it you will usually get reasonable movement in the morning but it will...

And its a holiday in Japan today so Nk didn't open :)
