I just saw "The Color of Money" last night, and I really liked the quote "Money won is twice as sweet as money earned". So true I believe. (Not to imply that I'm gambling or that hard work isn't involved)... but there's certainly a sport to what we do.

y, i listen to music all day. it's great. helps keep my mind busy enough to prevent out of system trading that can result from boredom.

From a completely lay point of view, I would think so, yes. One rudimentry way I was considering measuring this would be to track the distance between pivots which is basically measuring amplitude. I think this is oversimplified however, because pivots of various strengths are happening...

I'm sorry for blatanly bumping this thread to the top of the stack, but was hoping somebody may have a suggestion for introductory reading on this topic. Thanks in advance.

this would be outstanding functionality from them. i'm all for it.

Indeed, you can access ticks in TS, using the stop word in your entry code, but it doesnt work on multi-symbol strategies. A critical limitation for me. I actually installed tradebolt the other day to try it with TS7, and TS crashed two or three times when TB was running, so I got rid of it...

Duker, Thanks for your input. It sounds like you're a happy WL user. Have you compared WL to Neoticker? Can you speak to your prefernce for WL backtesting over others? My primary interests in backtesting are the use of bid/ask and tick data in testing, the ability to parse time into...

I'm very interested in bringing signal processing techniques into my strategy writing. It's more of a mid-term goal for me since I know very little about it right now. I find myself often trying think of ways to quantify a dominant frequency in the instruments I'm trading. I currently...

100% mechanical has been very emotionally liberating for me in the month I've been trading that way. I recommend this route to anyone stumbling through their emotions. As I believe Axe mentioned in another thread, even if it simply leads to a more precise understanding of the concepts you...

so I checked out most of the Neoticker website. Two features that really jump out at me are the ability to mix tick and time based bars in the same window. Also, the fact that it drills down to seconds is very very cool. WOW, lets you script in VBScript and Javascript as well. System...

Sixthbeast Awesome, so neoticker will let you write code that recognizes seconds... so cool. Which do you find more flexible and accurate, WL or Neo? Can WL parse time smaller than minutes?

I'm not sure what it's going to take for TS to clean up their act, and I no longer think I'm going to wait to find out. $200 a month is so much for this level of service. I am hearing very good things about neoticker, and am curious about wealthlab too. In the beginning I didn't want to...

LOL ebo! at least i got a fat laugh out of this

i would seriously reconsider going with TS if youre not already committed. As a beginner platform it was really good, I basically used it as a sort of textbook, reading the EL for all the functions and strategies, but I've outgrown it's functionality in a big way lately, and reliability during...

as a professional trader, it's great to know you have a rock solid professional platform that will always be there for you and your positions, especially when news hits the market and things go a little crazy. cheers. hahahahaha HAAA HAA

The last two TWS upgrades (this afternoon included) have wiped out my personal settings. Has anyone else had this problem?

thx guys, very useful information. good luck getting the pixel issues sorted. i think maybe i'd get them at best buy and test them in the shop. i have to admit, i think 19" might be overkill for me. i'd prefer the 17 or 18, but it doesn't look like best buy carries em. oh well, good luck...

After doing some research, I think the dell dimension 8300 and precision 450 are the most attractive options. Anybody have experience with both of these and able to tip the scale toward one or the other? thx

so when it comes with a bad pixel out of the box, you're basically f*cked, and stuck looking at a black spot on your charts forever? anybody know of a place where LCDs are rated for pixel life/quality?

interesting. i'm also concerned with noise in my impending upgrade. my 4 yr old gateway can be heard 40 feet away in the other end of the apartment. it's awful! saddest thing is, i've just gotten used to it over time, so where it used to grate on me, now i barely notice it. i'm afraid it's...
