    excel VWAP

    Create a directory here: C:\Program Files\eSignal\Formulas and drop the file in there. It will then be accessible via the Formulas menu item. The VWAP efs also uses an additional library (amStudies.efsLib, I think). That goes here: C:\Program Files\eSignal\FunctionLibrary

    Trading and Exchanges: Market Microstructure for Practitioners

    I don't think it's the the ruthless securities industry fault; I think the lack of critical thinking skills on the part of most ETers renders them incapable of evaluating whether any belief is plausible. Most seem most satisfied with doing what the everyone else is doing or tells them to do...

    Right click on the cell, select format cells, then the Number tab. In that tab there is a section called Fraction. In there you can select the format you want, such as As Quarters.

    What's the monetarist criticism of the austrian theory of the business cycle?

    You're absolutely right. I set the static condition as a starting point just to refute the nonsensical position that an increase in gold supply somehow translates into increased purchasing power in the long run. If that was grasped then I would have gone further, relaxing the static...

    What's the monetarist criticism of the austrian theory of the business cycle?

    Sorry, wrong. An exogenous increase in the amount of gold, ceteris paribus, will drive down the price of gold in dollar terms thus reducing its purchasing power. Thus an ounce of gold in the long term will purchase fewer goods than before the gold level increase, which is inflation. It might...

    does this market seem manipulated???

    But for those countries whose currencies are rising against the dollar certainly the pain of the oil price increase is less than in the U.S. . . . For example, in euro terms the price of a barrel of crude now is about where it was in 2000 whereas in USD terms it is nearly 50% more than the...

    does this market seem manipulated???

    Actually, whitless is clueless. In the pits as far back as I remember (more than a couple decades) customer paper was only a fraction of what local activity was -- and with electronic trading the amount of short term activity has only increased vs. long-term. Also consider that a lot of...

    Developing a Trading Framework from Scratch

    How do you interface with e-Signal without using their API? Are you retrieving real-time tick data or are you retrieving historical data as well?

    Get new java to speed up TWS IB

    I'm not certain, but I don't think that TWS has anything to do with JNLP settings, at least concerning the standalone version; web-based may be different.

    Doublea's Journal

    I don't look at the spread but I think it could be useful, because it helps determine whether the lower high-yield prices are the result of changes in market rates or the result of credit problems. If overall rates are turning higher (prices go lower) it is possible for the stock stock market...

    Doublea's Journal

    Do you look at the trend of high-yield bonds alone or do you look at the spread between high-yield bond returns and T-bond returns?

    IB Charts and Windows XP Registry

    When I mentioned the time it takes to load classes that was in response to the speed question v. QT. I have read that if you add "-verbose:class" to your start string (see below) that the loaded classes will be printed to the java console. I have never tried this so don't know what to expect...

    IB Charts and Windows XP Registry

    Have you run regedit to see if IB uses the registry? Do a search for "jts" and that should find any references to the directory. I did and found references for the location of the app, uninstall info, and the registration of the OCX (ActiveX) component. None should impact charts. Have you...

    Milton Friedman dies

    Guess it depends on what one means by "some." From an NSF report. the U of C received $111,924,000 from the Federal government for science as of 1993. Johns Hopkins received $701,097,000. HHS provides the bulk of this money. Those are nice "sums."

    Milton Friedman dies

    Actually the fact that it is private has nothing to do with its being government subsidized, as are all major research universities. Examples abound, try Google, or read the acknowledgements footnote on virtually any economics paper or check the fundings for any medical school. If you are...
