Things slip by Intellectual-Theologians [IT's] like "the Word is spiritually discerned"... I find that one can defend from scripture the idea that spirits of people exist with God before they come to earth... that will get the IT's mad, anything that doesn't fit their notions will get them mad...

I think the biggest advance due to the LED backlighting is that they can get the white balance to be the best. It increases the color space by 20-30%. That means it can display a larger range of colors. It might be more important for somebody using Photoshop than anything else but hey, if it...

I emailed dtn and cqg regarding exchange time stamps, I'm getting ready to code up a system. I need to work out these little details regarding latency and worse yet, variations in latency.. in a really busy market it seems quite possible that the delay from the exchange to the data retailer...

When I used Tradestation it was my understanding that they put their own timestamp on data before sending it out. That raised the question, still unanswered, as to what feed might be using the exchange timestamps. I'm working on some API stuff for IB and running into this kind of ambiguity of...

Japan still has Ninjas... their planes don't get hijacked either. A friend was having a drink in an airport in Japan once, he noticed that a plane started to taxi, then it stopped and nothing happened for long minutes... then some guys in black outfits approached the plane from the rear [it's...

What is the incentive to the banks in those deals, some high interest rate short term money? Possibly those deals could not soak up enough of the banks' reserves..

Is there a data feed with exchange timestamps? I'd like to have that to measure everything else with. I think most resellers apply their own timestamps.

I bought one of Prechter's books, directly from him, at a high price too, in 1996... it predicted that the end of a Grand Super Cycle or some such tripe was to be in 1995 !! He didn't even pull the book from the market, just kept soaking people... then, for an encore, he kept his followers out...

Tradestation, from TS2k on, and Multicharts are good for that. Your script can read lines manually drawn on the chart... NinjaTrader can't do that, their scripts can draw the lines on the charts but can't read a manually drawn one..

Windows has a lot of annoyances that seem unnecessary. It bugs me that the cursor disappears and you have to wait to find it... I hate that shit, moreso due to the fact that they have had decades to get it right and they never did. It was the same with the floppy drive interface, it sucked from...

Yeah.... f^&k Taleb, do your own due diligence, nobody is going to do it for you, that's for sure. Armstrong was the head of the Princeton Economics Department... a monkey he is not. He predicted an international credit crisis for this decade ten+ years ahead of the event, that's a pretty...

Obama has a team on the ground in Somalia even as we speak. They are searching desperately for a moderate pirate to serve as spokesman. Negotiations will begin as soon as they find somebody to negotiate with. Stay tuned for updates.... this could drag on longer than the Iranian hostage situation...

are the op's assumptions about the IB feed correct? They aggregate data but is it altered in any way? Maybe the assumption is wrong and the answer is to use IB's data...

New Yorkers just never change.. NYC was asking for a Federal bailout in the 70's, I think it was the Ford admin that had to tell them.... "uhhh no fellas and gals, you spent it already, go peddle your papers"

Some studies show that since smokers die sooner, tobacco use causes them to actually collect less overall from the public sector. Smokers really get screwed nowadays, not that they would not be getting screwed even with no taxes on the stuff. I favor consumption taxes over all other forms...

Dow Mini Future contract.

The discipline to not trade is sooooo important. I never screen trade because I'm working out automated things... and I suck at screen trading really, so today I traded the YM in a sim account for a few hours... zillion trades, down about fifty bucks for all my efforts, could have made a few...

Balance of power is what it's all about, Iran with nukes, Israelis with nukes... Arabs with big knives to cut each other's heads off... it's all good :D

Mojave Desert, the cops in LA saw that housing was practically free just up the freeway an hour so they told all the gangsters to get out of town and they did....... I'm still experimenting with dosage on the Selegiline. For Parkinson's they recommend 5mg a day but I don't have that. I can...

Those folks live fifty per house, they don't have credit card bills, they have miniscule housing costs, they don't eat in restaurants much... it's like the Hippies back in the day, I knew a banker, he said if it wasn't for hippies his bank would have nothing in it, they would come in and deposit...
