Immediately dispute their billing with your credit card company - in writing! Speak to the credit card company on their 800 number and explain the problem. Different companies have different procedures. I'm guessing US laws don't apply but the credit company can explain what does apply in...

Maybe you're pushing a little too hard. It has been my experience to leave a goodly cushion to avoid being locked up by an unexpected excursion, though if you've been going over-limit frequently you might re-examine your trading plan.

You are short 100 shares at 95 = $9500. TOL goes ex-dividend on 21 June. That means it trades without the dividend on that date. The NYSE will adjust the price to handle a 100% stock dividend (effectively a two-for-one split). At the close on 6/20 TOL is trading at 100. You are still short...

There are lots of threads on optimization and sampling. If you'll look at a few of them you'll see that there are many more factors to consider than those you ask about. I'd suggest reading through a few of the threads and then reformulating your questions so that the answers pertain to what...

I think you have to define your terms carefully. Big Money? Big percentage? I'd rather buy a $10 stock and sell it at $50 then sell at $50 and cover at $10. Make 40 points in both cases but the long side is a much better return on capital (a higher percent return). Certainly good...

Real intra-day historical data is not cheap. There is a huge amount of data. Look at Prophet.Net for relatively inexpensive data but be sure you run a filter for strange excursions that don't always get corrected.

Concur with the spam assessment. No contact info except via email, no street address, no phone, and the data is not true intraday, it's a 15 minute sample and will not be available until 250 people sign up at $20 per subscriber. Don't think I'd leave any personal info on that site.

Gorgonzola: I noticed that you planned to use $.07 for slippage. You did not mention what type of backtesting platform you were going to be using - homegrown or commercial. I don't have my notes handy but I considered looking into two things - 1) the impact of moving from fractions to...

Arb Under Par: What are the differences between Liquid and ThinkOrSwim's retail platform. The retail platform is definitely java-based.

It must have been ambiguous. In the past, in my IRA account (cash account), when I sold a stock I had for a week, say for $5K, I could buy something else the same day using the proceeds from the sale. However, if I got very lucky and the stock moved 20 percent the day I bought it and I sold...

I hope none of you guys got hit too badly, if at all, but it sure is nice to see someone other than IB getting bashed for a change.

Are your funds actually at IB or are "in-transit" between your other broker and IB?

The TradersStudio platform appears to be based on VB.net and/or Visual Basic 6. They have written a translator that they claim is 95% effective in converting EZ-based code into their VB. You then tweak. It looks as though they have coded up some VB functions to work the same way as the EZ...

Just read what you wrote - you say you were just going to trade 1 contract. From further posts it looks like you stuck with that until you thought had enough to trade more. You violated your rule/trading plan. I agree with other posters - don't trade with borrowed money. But look at what...

You are correct. My error. The webroot site appears to be working this afternoon.

SpySweeper was purchased by Microsoft earlier this year. MSFT is making it available in beta from their download site. It has had good reviews. I'm running a copy. The beta expires (at least my copy) on 7/31. You can install it with or without automatic updates . It's an option...

Holding you back from what? Always winning? If that is the case trading is not for you. Nothing in my own experience nor in anything I have read has ever indicated that every trade they or a system made was always a winner. Even those ridiculous ads where you "can make tons of money"...

One way to do it is to have your BIOS boot from the desired drive. I haven't done it for a while but your operating system (Windows xxx) will generally not allow you to make more than one drive Bootable (Active). What you'd probably have to do initially is power up only one drive and install...
