    Yup, in fact TASR just stumbled down another floor worth of stairs this morning (gap down).

    MedVed QuoteTracker Software

    Awesome! QuoteTracker looks to currently be very well suited towards short-term traders, but being more of a swing/position trader, daily historical is a must for me, I look forward to the addition. :) I should also mention that I was suprised to see how good the ECN Level II real-time...

    MedVed QuoteTracker Software

    I just recently set-up and registered QuoteTracker, combined with quotes from IQFeed. So far so good, you guys have done a great job with the design of this software! Couple of suggestions/wishlist if I may: - Is it possible to implement charts with a timeframe of daily? I see that you...

    How do continuous futures contracts work?

    Bit of a new question, but here goes. I'm familiar with futures contracts from a textbook perspective, just starting monitoring the Nymex Minis for Crude and Natural Gas. I thought initially that I would need to rotate through the near month contracts as time progressed, but was suprised to...

    Crude's Friday close and Monday open.

    Quick question, I'm very new to practical use of futures (though I understand their operation from a textbook standpoint), how exactly does a continuous contract work? Is it something that is not delivered at any point in time and used purely for speculation/hedging purposes, or is it just a...

    Crude's Friday close and Monday open.

    Watching QM #F right now, it's moved down and is now sitting around $63, it'll be interesting to see if $63 gets breached tonight.

    IB TWS for Mac - Has anyone tried

    I'm quite curious to know what you're planning on using for a charting platform, would you mind discussing that a bit? At some point over the next year or two I'll likely be buying my first Mac, and the primary reason for doing so is security. Also, in terms of a general use platform, Mac OS...

    Alternative Taxation (bit of a funny read)

    Chris' Respons What is the inherent value? This is difficult to asses. Often what people value things at now does not represent the full value, because people are not fully aware of the value. For instance the cost of cod before the collapse of the east coast fishery would have been higher if...

    Alternative Taxation (bit of a funny read)

    Roy's Comments currency trading has been targeted primarily because currency trading is "speculative", "volatile" and therefore poses "market shocks" to our economy. therefore, the following arguements are presented to counter these points. Foreign currency market (also know as the forex...

    Alternative Taxation (bit of a funny read)

    I'm doing a bit of research right now, trying to dig up how taxation of futures trading works in Canada, and I bumped into an amusing write-up that I thought I would share. For those that aren't familiar with Canadian politics, the "Green Party" is relatively newer on the scene, haven't yet...

    Crude's Friday close and Monday open.

    CL Futures chart looks to me like a potential head and shoulders set-up. Prices briefly peaked around $67 mid-August, then spiked to about $70 at the beginning of September (Katrina), then peaked again around $67 early this week. Looks like $63 will be a key point of support? If oil drops...

    Any comments on TASR?

    I personally think that TASR could be a buy at some point, but unless I see a really nice chart set-up, I wouldn't consider buying until the fundamentals start to turn around....

    Any comments on TASR?

    "This just in, Bob from Regina, Saskatchewan just bought his first bottle of ColdFX today, we believe this to be a material development, updates to follow." :D Joking aside, I think that PRs should generally be reserved for disclosing significantly material items, such as financials...

    L-3 Communications ( LLL )

    I took a quick look over their fundamentals, here is a brief summary of the things that I liked and disliked: Likes: - Company is actually profitable. Sounds simplistic, but there sure are a lot of companies trading that seem to rely on constant equity issues as their sole business model...

    Any comments on TASR?

    Woof, woof. :p Just got home and checked my watchlists, TASR popped a small amount after hours, I got a chuckle from the PR that caused it: "TASER NEWS ALERT: U.K. Police Use TASER to Arrest Second Terrorist Suspect" - http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/050923/laf076.html?.v=6 There is a...

    Pictures of your trading stations

    Hate to bring the thread off topic, but I'm fairly familiar with CV Technologies, they're based in my hometown and for the purpose of disclosure I currently hold a position in their stock (it trades on TSX Venture). ColdFX is some sort of proprietary ginseng extract (I'm terrible at science...

    Any comments on TASR?

    I've had Taser on my watchlist for a few months now, it's been in a slow death spiral since mid-May. This puppy is probably dead money until some good fundamental news comes out. Thing is though, is it really a practical stock to trade right now? The problem I see with shorting it is that it...

    traders in montreal, toronto, etc...

    Some areas of Vancouver and surrounding have some pretty nutty valuations, North Van for example is one of the places that tends to get mentioned when "Canada" and "real estate bubble" are mentioned in the same sentence. As for me, Edmonton.
