    Sterling API Developer Thread

    What's wrong with replaceorder? My workaround for the auto-reconnect is to use the windows api to relog back in with a bunch of FindWindow and SendMessage functions. If the primary doesn't work it will then try the secondary. Not ideal but it works. Ya, it would be nice to be able to...

    Thanks. I was beginning to worry that my usefulness to post ratio would go unrecognized.

    PC Fan Noise...can I leave case open?

    It's fine open. If you're worried about dust then I would just use compressed air every once in a while to remove it. You could also get a better fan.

    Sick of sitting in a chair all day!

    Standing all day will put a lot of pressure on your lower back if I'm not mistaken. Sitting is horrible. If you must sit, use a stability ball. It really helps with your posture. My physiotherapist suggested it to me and it helped me a great deal (I have back problems from years of sitting in...

    you should have done a search on this site before you sent them money. others have already talked about how they didn't get their refunds over a year ago. lesson learned i guess. btw, i would drive to his house and speak to him. bring a baseball bat. i also don't think fna trading is his...

    Question Re: Automated Scalping

    Why would they get burned? Are you assuming all strategies are trying to revert? Breakouts to the downside killed it that day. But something that day was very different. My RTM strategies were getting way too many fills before it crashed so I shut it down and closed all my positions. I'm...

    Trader P/L 2010

    I don't post anymore but I guess I should if I want to comment (or else they always get deleted) Good trading NoDoji. Wishing you more success. One of the only traders around here that gives back. I agree it may be best to not post. I guess you'll find out soon enough. Good to see you post...

    House Money

    I agree. Anytime I hear the term "house money" it makes me think the guy is a gambler. I bet casinos love the term because it keeps gamblers gambling until they lose it all back since the mooks think it was never theirs to begin with.

    Getting fat and the kids are driving me crazy

    When I say I got fatter it means I went from 165 at 9% body fat to 165 at 14% body fat :p I had to stop working out because of back problems. Went to a chiropractor (total sham) and and then a physiotherapist for a few months. Doesn't seem to have helped much. So instead of lifting I have to...

    How much edge is enough edge?

    If it makes money and I have the capital (which I always do since I do prop) then of course I run it. Even if it makes 50 dollars a day that's 1000 a month. Enough to make payments on a car, or take a couple nice trips a year. Tiny edges are fine if they're scalable. My longest running...
