    recording dynamic data in excel

    That's my point. There is no target parameter.

    recording dynamic data in excel

    I see your point. But there is no target so how do I tell what cell is affected? Doesn't it just tell me that a cell somewhere on the sheet has recalculated?

    The Money Masters

    I had a couple of ex-trader friends who subscribe to the explanation of history in this video; one was a student of Carroll Quigley's at Georgetown. As I said, ex-traders, they kept trying to sell into the 1982-2000 bull market waiting for the monetary system to collapse. Now, one is driving a...

    recording dynamic data in excel

    Unfortunately, there is no way to use a worksheet function (something that responds to an event such as a cell value change) to automatically trigger some VBA code that will save tick changes and update a chart. There may be some 3rd party add-ons that do this, but you can approximate it by...

    CNBC's Fast Money - pulling a FAST ONE

    Umm, yeah. TA has a long record of superior returns. That must be why the banks are closing their TA departments.

    Chicago Academics

    At virtually every department at UC the Master's students and PhDs have the same course/exam requirements, at least that's how I remember it. I think even a business PhD has to get an MBA first. But from the CS web site: 1. Should I apply to the Ph.D. program or the Master's program...

    Chicago Academics

    If you look real closely at the not-so-fine print it's called the Computer Science Professional Program, so I'd have to say it is not a masters in computer science that one would use as a stepping stone to a PhD. Hey, money is tight in academia and schools are looking for ways to extend their...

    CNBC's Fast Money - pulling a FAST ONE

    I treat this show like any other financial show or the market pages of the Wall Street Journal. I look for clues to what people are thinking and doing, what is driving their trading decisions. When a consensus forms then is the time to watch out because the market is likely to do the opposite...

    The Best Music To Trade To Is.......

    I actually was/am not much of a Deep Purple fan. I remember when Machine Head came out -- it just didn't grab me. But then I didn't like Led Zep I the first time (68?)-- what was I thinking? Of course, Blind Faith, etc. I had Low Spark of High Heeled Boys and In the Court of the Crimson...

    Is someone trying to rip off my IB account?

    I got the same message this morning. I checked my Funds Status and there was no request made as far as I could tell.

    The Best Music To Trade To Is.......

    I tried it but I hate it when they give their opinions. My first tendency is to fade their calls but I didn't hang around long enough to see how "reliable" they were.

    If you want to be rich, first stop being so frightened

    This is from the bottom of the same page: These are all the 'rules' I am aware of. The biggest error most folk make when going into business for themselves is to believe single-mindedly in their 'idea'. Ideas are literally ten-a-penny. Execution is the real key and to achieve it requires...

    If you want to be rich, first stop being so frightened

    Felix Dennis is also a poet. This is from his web site (http://www.felixdennis.com/frontpage.php?varid=11&prevnext=25#). It's even better when he reads it (see audio clip). How To Get Rich Good fortune? The fact is The more that you practise, The harder you sweat, The luckier you...

    IB passes $3 billion in liabilities in q2 2006

    Yes, genius, the more customers they have the more deposits they get, increasing their liabilities. Very risky strategy. They obviously would be much better off with no customers, get those liabilities down to zero.

    For you S&P traders...

    You have to put all indicators into the context of what the market is doing. For example, when the TRIN was at it's peak, advance-decline was around 1400, for example. Historically, it's a bit hard to anticipate a complete collapse at that point. Could happen, but not likely. It is foolish...
