I love it! I couldn't be much happier. The morning commute to the kitchen for coffee is very easy. :) I can't think of a nicer lifestyle. I totally get to pick who I associate with. I can take a vacation any time I choose. My wife loves it. If I want to knock off early on Friday afternoon, I can...

Try it in Sim mode first before risking real $.

Yes, I have had this happen twice in the last several years. You need to contact support.

The last I saw, MC has chosen NOT to support options trading. I own the EL version of MC. A MC Forum search for "Theta" turned up zero posts.

I understand. It could always be a fat bald guy in need of a shower hiding behind a beautiful woman's picture. The US/Israel allegedly destroyed some Iranian nuclear centrifuges using malware (Stuxnet). https://www.wired.com/2014/11/countdown-to-zero-day-stuxnet/

OK thanks for the lesson. Her picture has been removed now but I see how to do it with Chrome. Nice trick! P.S. I was using Firefox, which lacks that feature.

Really? You might be better at Google searching than me. Maybe you could provide some of your URLs you came up with on your fact checking?

I give you the benefit of the doubt rin3et. But I am already married to a former beauty queen with an advanced degree. We didn't meet online - but how we met is unimportant. The outcome is important. There are a couple other trader forums that are more polite. Google for them. You might even...

It is possible... And you know this how? Do you have any evidence?

I agree - if she is as presented. As I stated previously, many, if not most of the traders on energy floors that I have heard about are grade-A a-holes. The kind of guys you heard on the Enron recordings joking about bankrupting CA grandmothers. So, good behavior and good trading are not...

Hi rin4et: Assuming you are the real person pictured originally, then don't get discouraged. I know a business analyst that works with energy company traders every work day. She has personally known hundreds of them over the years. She says most of the traders are foul-mouthed, shallow a-holes...

I agree algofy and understand the downside of futures leverage. It cuts both ways. Increased leverage is only good if you are winning and the internet and broker/exchanges are 100% operational. Otherwise, options offer limited risk.

Not true, OOEL as well as macros can be run from RadarScreen, a spreadsheet style app.

Personally, I appreciate any correction of outdated or incorrect information - no matter the source. The more recent, all the better. Things are constantly changing. BTW I have no opinion on AMP yet. That is why I am here reading, starting with the most recent.

Hi toucan: Just use "TSKill.exe" from TS forums. Run as Admin and it will kill all TS processes with one click. It is much faster and easier than the Task Manager. ------------------------------------------------ Lylec305: Your CPU usage is way too high. Something is wrong. Too much data crunching?

I called TS about an erroneous order that sticks out position size wise. I have never submitted an order that size. They said the usual. The computer says you did the order (tough luck). Any suggestions on protecting myself from TS server errors. How can I prove I did not do something...

Hi guys (and girls?): I am back using TS. The newer Object Oriented EasyLanguage is very useful to me. I find the fills comparable to those at IB with MC. No Black Swan events yet. I have had a couple lags with both IB and TS each so far this year. You can limit repetitive ticks in TS to cut...

Update: I had my best week ever with IB last week (trading futures only). So far IB is working very well using MC (EL, not .NET) as a front end with IQFeed and IB data. Plus I am saving money on comm. vs. TS. I had some Twilight Zone ES fills with TS Tuesday last week. I still can't ever...

I routed through IEX for a month or so and witnessed prices trade through my limit orders before getting filled numerous times. Maybe it will be better once it is approved as an exchange.
