    IB Ticker Change Hassle

    So my autotrade program stuck me with a nasty little POS called SRLS. Small position tho. The symbol has apparantly changed to SRLSE (yeah, the company has problems) Anyway, I really would like to get out of it, as it is sinking like a brick. TWS still has the old symbol and won't take the...

    poker player tries his hand at futures trading

    Agree. I've been an engineer for 26 years now. I also have been running autotrading systems of my own design for several years, and thousands of trades. They have a positive expectation over up and down markets. I'm also up about 25% this year. I know, not much compared to most of you...

    New CNBC Format - Big Mistake

    Yeah, the tickers bother me the most. You can get at least a little "market feel" (and I need all the help I can get!) even with your peripheral vision as you are doing other things. Not now. My TV is a Wal-mart Sanyo cheapie, but it's new and looks fine on other channels. And I don't feel...

    GM - what are the chances of bankruptcy?

    I think you are right. So many stocks, even bankruptcy candidates, will come back...at least a little. But when and how much can be tricky. I'm watching GM dive steadily toward my 15-strike short puts. Got a few weeks left, and a few holidays in there too. I like my chances for GM being...

    New CNBC Format - Big Mistake

    I took another look today and, yep, still gawd awful. What they need to do is run one of their little polls and ask: Squawk Question of the Day How do you like our new format? 1. Love it - 1 (producer's wife voted) 2. Don't care - 0 3. Hate it and I hope you all die -...

    Yes they were getting out of hand. I put them on restrictions until they get their grades up. And if they mow the lawn and get the garage cleaned out, I MIGHT let them borrow their Mom's station wagon and hang out at Mike's house for a couple hours. But they better be back before 7:00 or...

    New CNBC Format - Big Mistake

    I admit it, I still watch CNBC. They sometimes have interesting guests and some of the chicks are okay looking. But I just turned to Bloomberg. The new CNBC format is a POS. I can barely see the tickers, Haines looks very uncomfortable on the Floor and just doesn't fit in, the Squawk show...

    What's the dumbest thing you've done?

    OUCH! I've always heard that there are a great many, for example, millionaire secretaries and janitors at MSFT from that era. They got stock...

    Short 500 AAPL at $75

    Luck or not, still a dam good trade. There is luck involved in all aspects of life. Now if you can do the same kind of thing over and over with a decent positive expectation...you got a good system! :cool: Good luck to all. C

    Need Quote software that can handle lots of DDE links

    It's a simple matter to interface to a reliable and very well supported quote handler like QuoteTracker with any of the Visual Studio tools. QT will connect with a great many data sources with a simple click of the mouse. Then you could do whatever the heck you wanted with the data and you...

    Perfect TA...

    This is always the overriding question to anybody selling these wonderful trading methods and services (at the "low low monthly price of only...", anyway). It has NEVER been answered adequately IMHO. Who would ever sell the golden goose? Nobody. Now if those methods for sale are only...
