We've had ATT@Home for more than a year and reliability has been very very good -- only 3 outages in that time.

This thread reminded me of something I read recently: "To achieve success in either life or the market, individuals must act before they know enough ... For instance, investors who hesitate may catch only the last 20% of a bull move and thus assume a disproportionate share of risk. The need...

I'm using NexTrend today -- no problem after the rate cut -- I could change symbols, no delay, nothing froze. My friends tell me that after the last surprise rate cut that both QQL and Qcharts had problems. NexTrend is only $10 to subscribe realtime, maybe a good idea in order to check...

Zarrar, What action do you see at midnight and on weekends?

mjt, I found this at http://www.fairmark.com/traders/mtmacc.htm You're Stuck With It Once you make the election, you have to continue to use the mark-to-market method for all future years. You can change the election only with the consent of the Internal Revenue Service, and they generally...

Dustin, What is Penson? -- Is it software that records your trades?

What a mess!! Hecklers, poor audio. Alexander Grace announced Trin numbers every few minutes-- and people pay for that! He seemed to use the heckling as an excuse to not make calls after his opening calls which were: to buy; buy on weakness; and hold over the weekend. Most of the time was...

June contract is "DJ01M" on Qcharts

A friend of mine has had Nextrend for a few weeks. She says it has been very reliable and the price is inexpensive, but that it takes a while to learn to use Nextrend. I know she had Qcharts at one time and then Quicken recently. She said she had problems with Quicken in the first half hour of...

I am puzzled by the idea that lowering US interest rates is bad for the Euro. That is the case if rate cuts revive the US economy, keeping the US as the favored destination for capital. But if the economy is not revived, then declining asset values coupled with lower rates of return could...

Another point of view on interest rate cuts from the March 9, 2001 Economist magazine: "... if the American economy does now slide into recession, interest rates may be less effective than usual in reviving demand. Consumers may be too intent on saving more, and businesses on reducing their...

I was skimming through Rtharp's interview with Catalite who says: " The Internet has improved my trading with real-time intraday charts for timing entries and exit. I don't use anything special, A 166 PC with a 28K modem " Amazing, how does he keep up with you, Rtharp? You said on another...

Microsoft has free chat software called Game Voice Share at http://www.gamevoice.com/gamevoice.htm You can use it with any website running in the background. It was designed for gamers who want to play as a team, allowing them to communicate verbally. I think this software could help a small...

rtharp, How'd the seminar go this weekend that you're helping out with in San Diego -- you know, the one with Brian June and Van K. Tharp -- that costs $3495 ?? Brian is the trader right? Seminars are his hobby, I guess.

I wonder how IB reconciles selling order flow with "Best Execution" ? I found out about their selling order flow in an article that they link to from their site: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2000/11/16/BU92011.DTL From the article: "Ascher acknowledges...
