relax. you're with them. it's not like you're against them or anything.

i see what you mean. i guess one thing that comes to mind is the transaction costs. if targets are smaller and size is larger, i guess comms and slip effects increase. maybe vulnerability to shakeouts is a little higher too and not scalar in a linear fashion when actual trades are made...

cute

call me a contrarian indicator, but i'm just beginning to see the opportunity and value of gold as having matured from a fringe opportunity to a compelling economic reality. 30 years of monthly bars illustrate just how slow-moving the general trend can be. i'm feeling about a year late, but...

thanks for sharing, very interesting

i'm also on 856.5 standalone, and haven't checked mem usage, but i have had unusually sluggish executions and noticably delayed updates in the position column since middle of last week. Has anyone else noticed the same?

here's exactly what happened, on friday after mkt close, TS retroactively rolled fridays data forward to the May contract. As of this morning, friday was still displaying as the May contract. Then, mid-morning, TS again retroactively rolled Friday's data BACK to the April contract. I took...

an acquaintence who was a junor trader on an amex specialist desk told me a few years ago his job was basically to study and imitate their highest performing clients

doesn't seem to add up. how many assistants (plural) does it take to transact the number of exits you'd get with 1-5 day holds on 12 stocks? my conservative estimate is ~500 exits a year which is 2 a day.

i think the reality here is the exact opposite of what you're asserting hapaboy. you must be going through some hard emotional shit out there. maybe you had an abusive parent who always had to be right. in any case, if you can't take the time to read (or even get the obvious gist) of my posts...
