I don't have Tradestation but everything seemed fine here in Southern California, but I wasn't watching all day. Max

I was looking at that in the mid 80's and we used to get a good laugh out of it, the darts were winning then too. Max

Yes, the wireless DSL is better, heavily encrypted too. You could get your data from a one-way satellite connection from BMI or DTN and place trades using dial-up perhaps. One advantage of that is the impossibility of getting hacked by somebody at your data provider since it is only one way...

The Wall Street Journal used to (do they still? I'm too cheap to subscribe) have the contest where the they threw darts at a list of stocks and they compared results to some picks from experts. The darts won most of the time it seemed like. Max

The only reason people have to protest is that their thinking is so far from the mainstream that they can't get representation from any politicians, they have no party to vote for. The current protesters are international communist oriented. Their weapon of choice is protesting...

I think the new software did it. When they morphed from a software vendor to a broker their software lost most of it's features for some reason. This latest release has the features their software did in 1999, maybe a lot of old customers are coming back? I know I am. Max

I heard a few interviews with anti-war protesters, every one was as dumb as a tree stump. It is the same crowd that is against globalization and they are very environment oriented I guess. I work with one actually, biggest problem we had when I came into the department was finding the guy...

I don't think that optimizing code will make much difference with TS2000. I wrote a strategy that executed hundreds of lines of code every bar and it did not take much longer to optimize than a simple one. In my case (win98, AMD, 64 Meg, etc.) the normal Tradestation overhead was taking a lot...

Maybe they just aren't handholding programming students? They have seminars all over the place, perhaps they expect you to study the coding? I've never had a question on EZ Language that I could not resolve by reading the manual. Max

If making lots of $ trading was real easy everybody would be doing it. Max

Thanks for all that "info". I knew a guy that had all kinds of that kind of "info". In 1998 he decided that the end of the economy and life as we knew it was at hand and he stopped feeding his ailing daughter because there would not be any doctors or hospitals left to take care of her. She died...

I have a VPR Matrix, am very happy with it. Intel Motherboard and processor is important for reliability in my book. Dell achieves "quality" by buying the cheap stuff and burning it in, or so I heard. Very 1970's approach to quality. The "buying experience" with Best Buy can be AWFUL, take it...

These should help; http://www.mrexcel.com/ http://www.willowsolutions.com/tips/tips.shtml http://j-walk.com/ss/excel/ http://www.tek-tips.com/index.cfm Books by John Walkenbach are the best, also O'Reilly. Good luck, there really is a lot to know about Excel and VBA and a lot...

I think Jack is giving out a lot of ideas that he uses for trading, he doesn't feel obligated to tell anybody exactly how to use them though. Sometimes I can follow, and I do realize that he is on to something good because I'm on to it too, sometimes it's not worth it to me to try to reverse...

I'm a Mensa member, that covers the IQ part, I don't do ad hominem arguments, your first sentence is just that. Can you prove that there are no statistics to prove that the death penalty has never reduced crime or is that just some noisy bullshit? Max

Don't pay much attention to all the naysayers, trading is like every other thing in life, if you want to do it you can do it. Do it on paper at first, until you feel you can do it. Could take weeks to get to that point or could take years. You will definitely pay some dues at some point, if...

The ideal leadership would minimize the killings in his domain. Take Los Angeles for instance. Take the profile of the average killer: IQ=90. How do you tell a guy or gal with 90 IQ points that society does not condone killing? Send them a memo? Lots of them can't read. Have the local churches...

I love seeing my name up in pixels.

That bottom one might be an ergodic, judging from the name, not that I know what that is exactly. Max

You are probably going to have to put all the issues you want to scan in Radarscreen and write the EZ Language to detect issues exhibiting the behavior you want. How much programming have you done? Sierra Charts is a somewhat overlooked program in that it can be set up to scan without much...
