    Radical Constructivism

    There is a great presentation by Kiev at: http://www.clicklive.com/NYMEX/symposium_2003/ Search for Kiev on the page... It is interesting to hear Kiev describe goal setting and imagery as a means of 'reducing stress'. There are several other good presentations on this site as well...

    C++, Visual C++ 6, Visual C++.net, C#

    One reason may be that anyone who can develop good code in C++ can write just as well in Java. However, someone with only Java experience will have a harder time bootstrapping into C++. (Not just my opinion... but this could be considered flame bait for a person who has only done Java. I work...

    trading eminis with cycles

    I agree with Charlie Dow and gnome cycles are not helpful. I spent a 'lot' of time going through all of the Ehlers, J.M.Hurst, and using digital signal routines trying to find the holy grail in cycles. There is nothing in phase, amp, or frequency that will help tell you what the next bar is...

    Trading for a Low-Paying Living

    These Green numbers could mean nothing more than that Green is marketing his accounting services to be the H&R block to low end retail traders. If that is the case then these numbers look about right. Would a successful trader making well over $100k select green to do their annual return...

    Tradestation fee change

    I did not say they are not making money. The Microsoft software model works. To say that Tradestation is the Microsoft of trading systems however is not a complement. I am not an investor in Tradestation, I am a user who wants the best trading software. Customers that use IB because it is...

    Tradestation fee change

    I use both IB and Tradestation. I have my own charting package that I wrote using MFC/C++ for IB which is very fast and just what I want. Tradestation hangs up if you are displaying more than a few charts, T&S or the matrix. (Yes I have a fast machine...) 3 times last week (when I was in a...

    ehler's Cybernetic analysis for stocks and futures

    Yep, a real roach motel. There are erata sheets for some of his books. Much better is to search the web for working examples. Tradestation.com has most of Ehlers stuff and there is some on Wealth-Lab as well. You can also search Stock & Commodities mag articles where most of his stuff...

    TT sues Refco for patent infringement

    How does Refco Pro avoid TT's patent claims? In screen shots of RefcoPro they show a DOM/Ladder view. What changes are necessary, in current DOM/ladder views (IB, Tradestation, et.al), to avoid TT's legal assault? Thank you

    Front ends why?

    Unemployment rate is down -unbelievable!!

    The consensus yesterday from a few sources that I watch was that the new jobs number would be 200k to 250k. When I heard the new jobs number was only 146k I thought the market was going to sell off. Could this be a case where the spin machine kicked in and pushed the market up? Maybe the...
