Don't expect to find the magic "leading" indicator that you just follow to profits. It's never that simple. At times the trading action in the underlying commodity will drive pricing and at other times the trading action in the futures controls will drive it. But because there's a...

When some idiot's pouring 30 gallons of gas at a crack into his 5-7 miles per gallon $50K Hummer H2 - he's not likely to complain about the price of his Pellegrino. New Hummer slogan - drive a Hummer, it'll pass anything on the road, except a gas station Another Hummer slogan - the...

Completely depends on what YOUR specific visibility needs are. Nobody else can answer that for you. If you can see/access everything you need on one monitor - then of course you don't need a second one. That will definitely be the case for a lot of new traders. Extra monitors, dozens of...

The title of the thread is "Near MISS Asteroid" Isn't a near miss really a HIT. The whole near-miss thing with airplanes has always been an oxymoron - when two planes collide, now THAT's a near miss (they nearly missed each other, but didn't). :) :) :)

Don't kid yourself - both sides are equally self-righteous, self-interested, and couldn't give a sh*t about the rest of us. Politicians (all of them, regardless of whether they sit on the left or right side of the aisle) are by definition crooks only interested in lining their own pockets and...

Curious about what you think makes a 60 minute chart with a starting 30 minute bar and then bars continuing on the whole hour any "smarter" than one that's a straight 60 minutes on the half-hour?? It's only "smarter" if it shows materially more meaningful information (which seems doubtful)...

It's not unique to left or right - ALL politicians do it. The spin from the left is as bad as it is from the right - unfortunately, instead of the two spins canceling each other - they combine to make everyone that much more nauseous. These days, "politician" just means being a out and out...

Your percentages are meaningless. If "moving up by 50% on the scale" (whatever you're considering the "scale" to be) means my order gets entered into Globex a mere 1-2 milliseconds ahead of someone else, then this "faster" platform isn't worth a whole lot (at least not to me). You'd have...

Define "faster" - 1ms, 5ms, 10ms, ...???

Check your browser security settings. If you're allowing unrestricted activeX activation and/or scripting, some of these POSs might come in that way without you're even knowing it. They can get installed and hook themselves into your browser's infrastructure just by navigating to a website...

If others were able to access quote.com without a problem - then the problem you experienced probably isn't "the service".

Sounds like you must be actually launching multiple instances of the IE process (i.e., clicking the internet explorer icon on the desktop or quick access icon bar) instead of just opening new IE windows (via shift-clicking on a URL or using Ctrl-N or the File->New->Window menu option to create a...

Perhaps: a. Myth/mystique b. One of the many hypes about floor trader "secrets" c. Hieroglyphics on the walls of the Great Pyramid d. Another nugget from Edgar Cayce e. Communications from extraterrestrials f. Seeking the holy grail g. All the above Personally, I don't find tickbar...

Question for those using a tab-enabled browser - Why do you find it such an advantage? Is it mostly a factor of not having a large Windows desktop available? I've got a lot of desktop space, so I just open multiple IE windows. But if I don't want to take up much space, I can just stack...

1. Do an ET search for "rollover" - and then find out how YOU can figure out when the contracts rollover rather than just finding out when one instance rolls over 2. I believe there's a quote fee that IB charges - just check their website 3. Some people seem to have more problems than...

Oliver - take a look at MS Access - it comes with sample DBs and tutorials and you'll find a load of books at Borders and local libraries on it

Actually he's not mistaken (and no I don't need to go to Borders to get a book - I've been working with all the aforementioned software for a VERY long time). I believe his point was that while you can make Excel do a lot of things, it's fundamentally a spreadsheet - not a database, not a...

Negative shareholder equity means that debts exceed assets (including any fluff a lot of companies have on their balance sheet like huge goodwill amounts from way overpaying for companies they bought). You'll have to decide for yourself based on your anticipated hold time horizon and other...

A match metric as you describe is OK, although probably not even as good a filter as a Soundex. Example: While you'd match DELL to "D E L L Inc.", you'd also match it to suff like: Hugo DarnELL, Inc. stuDio EL Loco aDriana Enterprises LLc etc. Good luck.

If you're saving the data as a spreadsheet, you've got no indexing - so you'd be doing a lateral scan of all 45K+ rows in the spreadsheet which could take a while. Probably not worth creating a computed column in the spreadsheet unless you're going to run a lot of searches in a row while you...
