Just curious... What program did you use for backtesting? Seems like there is an equal following between TradeStation and WealthLab... Wondering what you have used... -Eric

I'm not sure what you would mean by 'right', but the following is the deal that your broker dealer gets with ARCA: Add liquidity: Rebate of 0.2 cents per share (cps) Remove ARCA liquidity: Fee of 0.3 cps ARCA order routed outside ARCA for execution: Fee of 0.4 cps For INCA, I'm not...

From the CBOT website: Thursday, April 17: Open auction: Financial* contracts close at 12:00 noon. All other open auction contracts (Agricultural and Stock Index) close at their normal times. Electronic a/c/e trading: Financial*, Metals and Dow/AIG Indexsm contracts close at 12:30 p.m...

Yes, ADFN is the identifier for the Alternative Display Facility (or something like that). Up until recently, INCA was the only ECN that agreed to participate in this system, although I now think that some lesser ECN is also participating... As a result, ADFN will almost always correspond to...

hmmm... Ok, thx. Maybe it's a problem with my provider, S&P Comstock. Thanks.

Seems that starting today, CINN is not showing up on Level II displays for Nasdaq stocks... What gives? I don't recall reading of any new rules for Level II display... Has Nasdaq pushed through some new rule in an attempt to screw CINN (i.e. ISLD) out of the public view in an attempt to...

Go TERPS!!!!!!!!!! Fear the Turtle, BABY!!! -EricP Terp '86 :D

Often, when you do have a problem that is related to a TS bug, they will refer you to the TradeStation World website for answers... In other words, don't ask us, we just work here... Instead, please ask other potentially frustrated users such as yourself and maybe one of them can answer your...

I'm not sure if I understand your position, 777. Sounds to me that you are suggesting that all traders 'take the day off' due to the events in the middle east??? I agree entirely with candle and alpie... Our JOBS are trading... That's how we make a living. In your eyes, should the real...

The rumors have been confirmed false. Tariq Aziz was shown live on a news conference shown on CNN. He said that was the easiest possible rumor for him to prove false, but warned the Iraqi people to expect more misleading information as the war gets underway. Too bad, would have been nice...

With Nasdaq's market share dropping, they might be hearing footsteps of an ECN acquiring them... lol -Eric

Absolutely! And what about broker dealers, that stood by and watched their clients lose money in the markets during the past few years... Sue them! Come to think of it, the same goes for horse racetracks, and casinos... Yeah, and what about lotteries? Personally, I don't think us...

The only thing reported to the IRS is the securities sold total. The total value of the purchased securities is for your information only. Therefore, ensure that your sold values match the broker's information and you should be ok with the IRS. -Eric

I actually thought that they had gone out of business 18 months ago... They cut at least 80% of their staff, eliminating their best teacher, IMO, in Toni Turner. I agree with the other comments to save your money. -Eric

Get their passes before the Expo. At the event it is something like $50 for a pass. Also, I assume that your younger relatives are at least 18 (or could pass for 18). I tried to take my kids with me two years ago (they were 9 and 11), and they were not allowed into the convention center. I...

Unfortunately, I don't think this idea will ever work. The truth is that the BD's don't want to make the DAT arena any more competitive. The truth is the the DAT arena is getting killed as we speak, and many are going out of business because it is too competitive. The following, IMO, is why...

NT being the NYSE most active is most likely a consequence it it being a $2 stock. I'm suspect if you looked at $ volume and not share volume, you would see that NT is not even close to the most active list. -Eric

I've noticed these same problems with TradeStation's continuous data. Since TradeStation is a sponsor of this site, I would assume that their is someone from TradeStation that monitors this site... If so, could they please address this issue for the TradeStation users that are here...

Exactly, I remember a particularly large lotto jackpot several years ago here in Virginia, that had a payout of ~$25 million. The newspaper reported that the most common set of numbers chosen, was the ticket: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42 (multiples of 'lucky' number 7). Assuming that set of...

I am interested in purchasing a copy of TradeStation 20001. I believe that this is the version which allows you to import external data, which is useful to me since I'd like to do intraday testing for the NQ contracts going back several years. Unfortunately, the current copy of TS only allows...
