This. Good advice by the way; I'm going to write this one down and post it on my wall

Haha, I was trying to point out the same thing you are trying to point out to me. Point taken :)

I'd be more interested in the number of ipads sold (1 million in the first month), which is phenomenal, and beats the iphone's opening month. (citation: http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2010/05/03/apple-28-days-1-million-ipads/?source=yahoo_quote ) As far as ebooks goes, after owning a nook, it's...

lol, goatse aol disks

The general standard is: for every million dollars you have invested, you get $40,000 a year. (that number comes from retirement planners giving goals to retirees, who will mostly invest in "guaranteed" things like bonds/moneymarket/cds)

I don't know much about this situation, so I'm grateful for everything I've learned from your post. But I would like to correct the above statement. 7 out of 10 believe goldman committed fraud, BUT Goldman's clients are still largely supportive of them, and so the resulting 70% number is...

Did anyone short at 270, or stay in their positions till this point (currently about 260)? I'm going to try to ride it all the the way up to 300, but the realist in me is going to eventually take over and start profit taking every new milestone

lol

Oh I totally agree with you. I was more trying to figure out if people were still using it, or if anyone had resumed using it since it came back--since every post I saw stated they no longer used it because it hadn't been updated since like...2004 or something. If anyone is currently using...

Aha! Perfect, thanks a bunch

NT claims they can connect to a hundred different brokers. I'm curious as to 1) which they can connect to 2) how you know they don't connect to yours As of now, I can't find a list of brokers that they connect with, so I'm entirely unsure if someone's managed to port it to your broker (or mine)

Do it That may be anticlimactic after your long post, but it comes down to: do it But, make sure you don't do it wrong. At first, you want to be going after pennies. If you can consistently profit a penny each time, then you're successful. Then do it several million times a year. Don't set...

Thanks a bunch for the response. Sadly I had already done that search and found that same link. Those are simply the brokers you can connect with to get real time quotes. The website says it can be used to make trades with "hundreds" of brokers, and I was curious if there was a list of those...

Ninjatrader says it can interact with hundreds of brokers. Is there a list of these brokers somewhere? Right now I'm interested in just2trade specifically, but it'd be nice to know what my options are. Thanks!

I have sort of the opposite problem you have. I know programming, but don't know the market. What's an EA?

Hey! I've been researching autotrading, and came accross a lot of posts that said "I used to swear by autotrader, but it's no longer available". I checked autotrader's site ( http://www.autotradersoftware.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=30 ) and the last update was just a few...

Lightspeed doesn't use an API per say, but they use sockets and conversations So like, you connect to their socket and send some text, and it responds with text. In theory it's really straightforward and really easy, but they don't provided a tutorial or any examples. So even though...

Does anyone know the difference between the account types of Lightspeed Trader and Lightspeed Web Trader, and what that entails? All I can find is: Lightspeed Trader - $10,000 minimum balance Lightspeed Web Trader - $1,000 minimum balance Does the Web Trader not have the same benefits?

What kind of volume are you planning on? To me it sounds like what you're doing doesn't require one of the specialized brokers such as IB or Lightspeed (which deal with high volume stuff), and it sounds like you might benefit more from one of the stronger, sturdier brokers such as etrade or...

byteme, thanks again for all the information you're providing, and chuzek for relating your experience. byteme, that code is exactly what I've been combing the internet for. I hope I can extract what I need to from your example. I'm hoping that interaction with IB can be very simple and do...
