I believe this is a good question, and I would like to know the proper answer. What I have done in the past is copy the contents of a folder C:\Program Files\Jts\dxxxxxxxx Where the "x"s appear to be random letters, or could be my encrypted account number. Copying these files appeared to...

Congrats on the turn around! What would you say the experience with your mentor changed the most? Your EQ, technical insight, trading style, expectations?

Frost, that is why I asked before if you traded intra-bar in a previous question of mine. I am not sure IB sim account and real account get the exact same data feed...

I did a little research into 501C3's and it turns out they are classified into private foundations and public. Private foundations can only disburse to other tax exempts or disburse thru competitive grants. To individually select the individuals for disbursement, the foundation must be a...

Did frost ever say if his bot trades intra-bar or at bar close only? Did he mention the bar timeframe?

Also get to know IRS Form 2210 inside and out so that you understand where the penalties come from when you don't file adequate quarterly payments. Note that you get a free ride if your income increases as long as you have either had withheld or made estimated payments equal to your last...

Cazza if you give me an ES from the last 5 days I'll play! :p

Could one of the experienced greybeards on the HSI shed a little light on the US IRS tax treatment of gains from trading the Hang Seng? Does it fall under the same Section 1256 Contracts as say, the CME ES and get the same 60% long tern and 40% short term split for capital gains?

pr0crast you once shared how you recorded the ES during the day and then played it back at 3x speed to practice drawing trend lines and gaussians... Could you share again the software you used and the setups? Edit: found pr0crasts post: Camtasia...

Gents, before I get too far down the road on trading the HSI, is there any special IRS tax treatment with respect to trading foreign futures? Is it handled just like ES/YM? ... Gains taxed as 60% long term capital gain & 40% short term regardless of how long held? I searched, your comments...

I took another 1/2 day off from work to trade today. It is the first day I had a "full" toolkit running. ES 5min, YM 2 min, Qtracker PRV running on both, and QT Str/Sqz plot in candles... Bottom line: I could see it, and feel it, just like Jack and Spyder say! I made 3, 1 contract trades...

I took the morning off today to use Jerry's new indicator real time in Quotetracker. WOW, having that visual markedly improved my performance. I also dropped Jerry a thank you note for his efforts. Yes, a Quotetracker [YM-INDU-user set constant] indicator would be the cat's meow...

An idea for IB... if you reconnect within a short period ... say 30 minutes, what about letting a computer with the same NIC card and the same ISP address back in without recertifying? This procedure might alleviate the routine disconnect/reconnect "feature" problem...

During the boot process, I think a multi head card defaults into VGA resolution and both monitor outputs mirror the same "main" single monitor in VGA resolution... Then the card loads it's specific instructions for each monitor, which appears to cause your problem. Reading your previous...

Thanks Pr0crast! I sincerely appreciate your efforts that resulted in the QuoteTracker PRV upgrade...

Actually I found it quite illuminating... a moving regression of the first degree... Tazara... 20070016507 ... you gotta dig a bit with Jack, but the info is there...

I did not intend to sidetrack the thread into the "philosophy" of giving... I was really interested in the "mechanisms" of anonymous giving out of a 501(c)(3) shell. So perhaps I should prune my post on philosophy?

First, I am not Jack Hershey. Sypdertrader can prove that. Plus I think Jack has already figured this out. FightTheFuture hit the nail on the head. Try it sometime! The greatest enjoyment :) :) I received was watching from afar as the person(s) received their gift(s). The people who...

A friend on another message board and I are learning how to set up 501(c)(3)'s for charitable purposes. We both believe in the concept of anonymous gifts and giving to those in true need. Does anyone have some practical experience in how we can give funds to needy folks, qualified thru the...

I have two daughters, 18 and 16. My life really started the day my first daughter was born. As they have gotten older, my toys have diminished, and theirs have increased. Sure there was stress, trials and tribulation; but there was and is a joy without bounds. Last week my oldest was in...
