    Short Sale Rules Changing....

    the guys at the SEC will never figure it out. They will consistently implement rules at the wrong time. These guys at the SEC only try to implement change when their ass is on the line. It makes no sense to have the SEC in the political position that they are in. The law makers need a way to...

    Global Arbitrage

    Dude, Japan's Nikkei 225 did a perfect ending diagonal, and died 800 points in 2 days. I don't know if you can really say that that you can catch the trend in another market because neither the NDX, SPX, INDU, nor RUT has had a 7% down move in the last couple of days. We haven't even come off of...

    Interactive Brokers and API

    I have completely mastered using the IB DDE link in Excel spreadsheets. I have come to the realization that DDE links are crappy, and I want to step it up and use the API link through IB. Is there any way to implement the IB API feed into excel? What is the best way to get started on this? Thanks

    Thanks, I got that same syntax from one of the QT guys, and it worked. Hey, how liquid are those Topix futures? Is there a lot of movement in them? Similar to trading the S&P 500 futures? Thanks

    Gold & Silver Open Interest - Problems brewing?

    Taking delivery is what causes a commodity to rise! It is funny that Gold and Silver keep on making new highs while the big commercials short the hell out of gold futures. Look at CDE and some of these gold stocks that are ripping!!! Short squeezes have already occured in some of these...

    Nikkei 225

    It just depends on the fill. They are both pretty liquid. The Osaka is good for electronic fills.

    wireless broadband?

    Well, I went to the CNET webiste, and they gave the Netgear an awesome review. They also said that the Netgear 802.11G wireless card had the best reception. So if the reviewers are saying that the wireless routers have the best reception and the cards also have the best reception then you...

    Nikkei 225

    The trading is great. I like to trade commodities and foreign futures because then I can not be manipulated by anybody that I know. Who is going to give me their opinion of the Japanese Stock Market?

    Pre trade routine

    Tech, that would be awesome if I could do that before each trade. My cats go like 4 times a day, why can't I do that?

    Pre trade routine

    I drink a ton of coffee and then I take a number 2. I feel really great after this. Now, I'm ready to trade. Also, do not listen to anbody but yourself. So during the premarket as you are getting ready for the day, do not talk to anybody. Do your own research and be prepared.

    wireless broadband?

    I would have to reccomend the NetGear router. Both the 802.11b and 802.11G routers are superb. The range is excellent and the quality of the connection is amazing. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING by D-Link. I hate my D-link router so much that I took a baseball bat to it, and now I'm on a crusade to make...

    Bond Futures and Interest

    I was wondering if anybody knew the mechanics of how bond futures payout interest? Is the interest a function of the premium in the bond futures relative to the cash bond?
