    Average monthly fees/charges

    Can someone give me an idea of what monthly deductions they are experiencing for about a 500k share per month trading volume ? This would include commissions, VPN/Platform fees, ECN fees, other software/communication fees (outside of DSL/Cable cost). Also exclude any "bench" fees. A rough total...

    Can TradeStation Talk Directly to IB?

    Dude - you should not publish these criticisms in a public forum unless you have specific examples of the problems you've indicated....and be VERY SPECIFIC...which versions, which trades, etc, etc.

    Are the NYSE Specailists crooked or fair?

    Not much...same old, same old: with this low volatility environment, some traders are only "working" from 9:30 to 11:00 and then 2:30 till close. Mid-day action has proven to chop them up, so now they don't trade then.

    Excel Strategy Conversion

    www.turboexcel.com is your answer. It will convert your spreadsheet calculations to C++ source code. From there, you just need to "wrap it" with the standard Tradestation DLL interface code.

    Turbo Excel/C++

    This is pretty cool software but is limited in that workbooks with any GUI or event logic will lose that functionality. I have asked the company if they have any plans in the future to produce an EXE file from the XLS source code. This is an enormous task however. The one thing this software is...

    Are the NYSE Specailists crooked or fair?

    I just returned from a visit to a credible "prop" trading firm in NYC....and I couldn't believe what I heard: 90% of their trading volume was coming from NYSE stocks vs. Nasdaq stocks. I was like "What the f..k ?". What about this ECN "level playing field". Apparently, it's been "corrupted" by...

    The Stock Market is for Suckers:

    wrong, wrong, WRONG... I "met" Cuban in a trading forum 6 years ago....just before he his broadcast.com was purchased by Yahoo. He's a heckuva trader. Had sense to hedge his "locked-out" shares to retain his great profit. Never underestimate Cuban...until your net worth exceeds his.

    Can TradeStation Talk Directly to IB?

    Tradebolt - Any chance of you supporting conditional or contingent orders in the near future ? OCO, OSO, cascades, etc, etc ? It can be done in Easy Language, but it's somewhat of a "bear".

    Can TradeStation Talk Directly to IB?

    Try this one...comes highly recommended with high ratings. http://www.tradebullet.com/ Sure, the alternative to BUYING an interface is DEVELOPING one yourself....a daunting task. A DLL can be developed to interface Tradestation to IB's API - no problem....but why bother when there are...

    See my recent post on this..... and the final question was: How do you determine WHEN TO PULL THE PLUG ? What is the criteria ?

    Using EasyLanguage With HyperOrder

    Norm - you need to get a handle on Hyperorder's capabilities....it appears they can call DLL's written in C++ to perform buy/sell orders. You must confirm this. If that is the case, you must REWRITE any Easylanguage code into C or C++ as a DLL. Easylanguage does NOT translate automatically into...

    Going to try Hyperorder

    Norm - how is this add-on working ? I believe you'll need to learn Easy Language to use it effectively. Need some help ? Let me know ! Good Luck ... sounds like a good learning project.

    Predicting Randomness - great research

    Guys....you READ the research paper, right ? If you did, you would see their best trained neural networks could even "predict" Geiger counter movements....but it they COULD NOT predict the time series generated as pseudo-random. The forward-test results were absolutely terrible for that time-series.

    Prop firm won't send check to close my account

    Yes Larry, that is correct....and why the Prop/pro business is so sleazy. They are NOT well known...and soon I think they will soon be "forgotten" if you know what I mean. I appreciate the comments about wasting time on the clearing firm.....but an earlier PM I received thought that was a...

    Prop firm won't send check to close my account

    Remember, I went to the TOP of the clearing firm immediately....the President. He then contacted his Compliance Officer who called me. Another "flunky" was involved too. Neither one did much for me...actually they tried to make me look bad by saying I didn't need to go directly to the Pres. The...

    Predicting Randomness - great research

    Note: I am trying to contact the authors and get more information. Regarding the above: you saw the number of randomness "tests" they performed....I think they have a good handle on the nature of randomness. In fact, this A. Duka, is supposedly an expert in that area. I will post his/her...
