    Anyone here like HSI ??

    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.

    IB: TWS 864 is BAD !!!!!!!!!!

    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...

    Probable IB TWS Bug

    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.

    Probable IB TWS Bug

    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...

    IB: TWS 864 is BAD !!!!!!!!!!

    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...

    Probable IB TWS Bug

    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.

    Probable IB TWS Bug

    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...

    Simple Profitable Method

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

    Needing a reliable platform without slippage!

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

    IE 7.0 Just installed.

    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...

    The best book on trading ever written?

    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?

    becoming emotionless

    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...

    Hang Seng and Nikkei futures

    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).

    Hang Seng and Nikkei futures

    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...
