Fair enough SmoothTrader. >>First of all, let me excuse myself; but I gotta say so. Yeah, it's exciting, it's challenging, I have to admit that but we create nothing, no job for other peoples (except for broker), no value for the society.<< Except for Broker? Has this person any idea of...

Trading is the greatest job (business) in the world. No physical inventory, No employees, No boss, No customers. Work anywhere there is an internet connection. Turn it off when you have had enough! Treat it like a business, have a plan and stick to it, review your trades, what went...

I am on the road and trade out of Hotel rooms (in the morning)with my laptop about 6 days/month. No problems at all. Use a dialup connection with IB & Quotetracker Of course this is not daytrading, I swingtrade, 2-5 day trades. Being on the west coast helps, pre-markets open at 5am...

I am sure you meant slick not sick, and yes it is. The combo of Amibroker/Powerscan is an unbeatable value.

Amibroker is highly rated charting and backtesting software, EOD or Real time, and reasonably priced, as a matter of fact a "best buy" in my books. (It can use free Yahoo eod data, or paid data from many sources) Recently a new software plugin tool was developed called "Powerscan" which...

I have my box on a rug, Brought it into CompUSA for hardware purchase and free install, paid for a powerclean..it is amazing how much fluff your fans will suck up, another month os so and I think I would have been in trouble. Now have the Box sitting on a wooden plank, on the rug. CompUSA...

I too can't seem to get enough! It always makes for interesting reading. However, there are so many books out there and they are usually quite pricy, and not all are good. I use the Seattle Public library system (they are online) to reserve my books. They will go to other libraries to get...

Medved Quote Tracker has time and sales and volume, bid and ask (no volume on bid and ask). 2 day history with free version, 5 day history with registered version. You need a data feed. IB works well if they are already your broker and it's free (you are already "paying" for it) Scottrade...

Just hooked up with Comcast in Seattle. Self install was a breeze. Went to dslreports.com to check speed: Download 1780 Upload 280 Awesome! Next step wireless router to hook up the laptop.

I have doubled my trading account in the past 6 months using Amibroker (a Metastock type software) a few of my own mathematical trading formulas (based on indicators), and free end of day data. I go long and short, swing trade, stocks only. What will your website do for me at a charge of $400...

Welcome, I have been trading for almost 30 years, always something new to learn. I am looking forward to your insight, Hope you start a thread here with your thoughts, or at the very least provide ET members with free access to your web site. (Without having to submit a credit card number...

Whatever you do don't trade while on Zyban, if you do be real careful! Zyban gives you "I could care less" attitude...nothing bothers you! You can experience heavy losses! Take a short break from trading (it's probably a routine for you (like me) to smoke, drink coffee and trade...need to...

OK, you got through the first step. Now get yourself a copy of Laplink software to keep your desktop and laptop applications in sync. Before I leave on a trip I sync my Desktop>Laptop. When I come back Laptop>Desktop. Keeps your charts settings formulas etc...identical on both machines! Rock...

You have a pretty old configuration. I would buy a new machine but if that's out of the question, and based on your lack of knowledge of puters...Go to CompUSA. They are currently installing all purchased upgrades free. Just bring in your box and your windows CD and they will take care of you.

This combo works excellent in my opinion. Backfill (free) with scottrade is a little sketchy however. I f you intraday trade suggest you get a good backfill supplier, unless you are always online with IB. QT is awesome, a great product. Considering registering as well to keep Jerry off his...

I highly recommend Amibroker. There are numerous prebuilt routines available on the website in the AFL library which will help get you started with the formula language, There is also a very active yahoo message board with numerous "experts" to help you code your formula's. A one time charege...

Trade your system first, preferably with cash. Be ready to provide actual results to prospective clients, a brokerage statement, not a "Metastock" style backtest result printout. Do not rely on backtest performance only, especially if you use "optimization". Basically "put your own money...

I have been using IB for years now, just started using QT this week. Since we are already "paying" for data with IB this combo makes alot of sense. I Highly recommend a dual monitor setup. IB on one, QT on the other. Cost is very cheap..additional video card (or a dualhead Matrox) and Monitor...

In a Bullish environment stochastics will remain overbought for an extended period, the same goes true in a Bearish environment, remaining oversold. If you desire to use stochastics, you should consider getting a confirming signal from at least 1 other indicator.:D

Why should thay have the composites if they can't be traded? What useful purpose would that serve? The info would only be relevent if you charted it, and to the best of my knowledge, very few app's chart using IB data. IB is still da best in my books.
