I use Yahoo for EOD and Interactive Brokers for realtime. Quote Tracker can feed Excel but the interface is clumsy. All free.

This is the only pairs trading site I've come across: http://www.pairstrading.com/ any others?

Biomech- "I would also have to recommend the Intel PC. The Athlons might be like 2% faster and maybe 10% cheaper, but the Intels are WAY more reliable in my experience, and they also run alot cooler so require less fans. " What are you basing Intels WAY better reliability on? How many...

A relatively inexpensive program for calculating Hurst exponent as well as a whole series of other useful stats is: Chaos Data Analyzer Pro - Physics Academy Software

Actually, the way I understand MOC orders, there is no slippage on a market order - because there is only one price, not a bid and ask. Of course that doesn't mean you get a good price, just that there is not a spread.

From the IB site under margin requirements (5/30/02): Patterned Day Trader Margin Requirements The NYSE and NASD have imposed rules to limit small investor Day Trading on US stocks. Customers who have made four or more US stock or option day trades (open and close a position on the same...

Here is a sports futures link: http://www.tradesports.com and the sports arbitrage link: http://www.zero-risk-arbitrage.com

There are sites that offer sports futures exactly as you described. I don't have the link on this computer but Tuesday I can get it. Another very interesting gambling link is an arbitrage site. Again, on Tuesday I can post it.

I only buy AMD. Cheaper, faster and it keeps you away from Dell and Gateway. If you must spend a lot of money, buy lots of memory (DDR) and monitors.

Someone posted this - I thought it was "interesting." I do not know about the validity of it. Just FYI. http://www.daytradingstocks.com/ProTrader%20Firms.pdf FWIW, I will be joining prop soon. I currently trade using Direct Access (retail.)...

How about with options? Voodoo ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Initially I thought this wouldn't help if you didn't know the status of an order, but obviously you could put a limit on the maximum loss by buying the corresponding put or...

The main problem is not being able to hedge the position when the system goes down. It is not knowing whether you have a position or not. You put an order in and the system freezes. Did you get filled or not? How can you hedge that?

I don't know why they have keep my quote account as nonprofessional so far, even though they are charging the NASD pro fee to the account. I expect it is an oversight and one day I will not be able to trade the account. When that happens I will close the LLC account and transfer the money to...

So far IB has let me keep nonprofessional status for my LLC, but charging me $20 for the NASD quotes. This way I have been able to trade NYSE so far. We'll see what happens tommorow. I have another IB account setup as an individual account but using my TIN for the LLC for the 1099. I'm just...

Freeport is okay, not much to do on the island except drink and it is very hard to get a DWI. But the reef system is one of the best in the world. Great fishing and diving. For $2000 a month, you would probably try to share that right? The company I worked for (and this was about 10...

I used to live in Freeport. Just went there to visit friends. I have also considered trading from there but I think the phone system sucks (cable tv isn't very good either).

I'm no expert on this but I think an answer to your problem would be to put a trigger stop in higher than your risk stop and then execute at your risk stop. To ensure excecution at your risk stop, underask to sell a long position; if the market is slow you should get price improvement to the...

LetsTrade, I took Bright's course last May and have found it very useful even to a part-time daytrader (if there is such a thing). At least being aware of the disadvantages the retail customer has to overcome was worth the price of the course. For instance, Don's strategy for openings is...

I also thought the IB system was wrong until I copied the monthly emails into Excel. At that point all you have to do is sum the sales column. It matches the 1099 exactly (except for options). Next sum the buy column and the commision column (change the commision sign from negative to plus)...
