Whoa! How much money do these clowns want, anyway?

Classic! Thanks for the links...

ROFLMAO!!! Who is he, the next Bill Gates? Or does he have a speshul magical crystal ball?

If only it were that simple, I'd be worth more than Mr. William Gates by now...

I found that, once I stopped trying to follow 'guru' advice and actually studied the markets closely to understand their behavior--why, my trading and investing began to improve markedly. Also, I have this cool board thingy: you put your hands on a marker, ask the spirits 'should I buy XYZ...

1: Here's how I'd do it. Get a basic switch (accomodates traffic at high levels better than a hub) and use this to connect your PCs together. Use CAT5 'straight through' cables to connect to the switch. Set up your firewall-a router which you can purpose-buy for this (see Linksys firewall...

Why? I'm genuinely glad he was able to. 3K is a lot of money to lay out.

I'm glad you were able to get your money back!

But besides all that, how did you like WT? :D

It's a deep dark speshul secret forbidden to us mortals. Me, I think you're better off learning how to trade, finding a good system, and plowing your 3k ('no returns, Charlie!') or your 4k ('okay, you can return it!') into actual positions.

What happens if GlobalTec ever goes under or discontinues WF, I wonder?

"I actually got the software for about 2.5K, not 4. But I waived the warranty - knew a guy who talked me into it and offered to help, so I went ahead and took the leap. With the warranty, I think it was only 3K." Yeah, my pal 'waived' the warranty, and got it for 3K too. Ya know what? That...

Thanks for your honesty; at least, you can look at the purchase as an education in 'what not to do', which is valuable in itself!

Hi Kronos! I'm glad you use the software; I hope tons of people use it. We can always use more liquidity in the markets, and having all the amateurs playing around with their 'green light/red light/fresh cross/FAST' crap will make my job, and that of others, all the easier. I looked at a...

I've read elsewhere here about a magical 'the lines UNCROSS' phenomenon. I saw this where I formerly worked--an IT group at a large company. Another guy in the group was using WT to buy options, and one day I looked over his shoulder and noticed what I called 'flapping'--two lines would appear...

You're quite correct, my dataset doesn't include delisted stocks. I'll have to look at this issue further; at the moment my best defense against seeing a position drop like a rock is that I'm diversified, so (I hope!) while any one stock might tank, I wouldn't suffer a crippling loss--just one...

Okay, that's fair enough. I'll be the first to admit the system is imperfect, and I probably could tweak it to eke out more profit. My concern is that I don't want to inadvertently fit the system to a given data set, and want to keep it as 'generally useful' as I can. Any ideas on the 'early...

"It appears you are not accounting for the performance of either the market or the stock's sector. People that follow the 50/30/20 rule would say you are operating with only 20% of the available data." You are quite correct in saying that my trading doesn't directly incorporate either the...

Thanks, guys. I've been investing for years, and have dabbled in swing trading for the last two or so--and in that time I've probably made most of the dumb mistakes the books tell you not to do. I've managed to ignore risk and money management rules, when I first started, being totally ignorant...

Okay, perhaps I'm missing something big here. I have the uneasy sense that I am. My system appears to be pathetically simple, and I'd really like to know if I'm being a dunce. Here's how I trade, and I'd like to know what others think. If it's a damnfool idea, and I'm heading straight for an...
