    Superstition, Luck and Vodoo

    You see, the reason you continually get the goats of whatever atheists, agnostics, or believers in other faiths is that your phraseology clearly presumes that you are right and they are wrong. We all know that you actually believe exactly this to be so, and most of us can cope with that idea...

    Building a new tower ???

    Any of you know anything about the limitations in Win2k Pro on the number of "objects" that can be displayed/handled at once? Or, if you don't know anything yourself, do you have a suggestion on where I could go to find out more? Heard a rumor that there was something that could be done to...

    Data Feed for Wealth-Lab

    Nitro... I presume you've talked to the people at TS about this problem already, but I'd suggest you give another try, and try to get your issues "escalated." There are certain tricks and adjustments that may help. It'll be interesting to see if the next upgrade(s) is(are) more or less...

    DaveN, Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check it out. Haven't yet ventured into the world of DLLs, but I suppose it's inevitable. May even be kind of fun. What I'd really love, without having to wait for THE upgrade, is an add-on that allowed me to fill the Order Bar with a symbol just by...

    EasyLanguage Question

    Ms. Diamond, I very much appreciate your willingness to help us out, but I believe that what Gena and I have been discussing was an indicator that would compare the volume at any given time during the day to the volume at the same time on a previous day or on average for that time. So...

    indicator showcase

    Don't pretend to know Gann, but am skeptical. Get one or two useful Elliot type reads a quarter. But get interesting, often tradable Fibonacci stuff all the time. Would be happy to declare it hocus-pocus or snake oil or a joke, but day after day I see the market respecting retracement...

    EasyLanguage Question

    Have you tried an array or arrays? I use an indicator for Nasdaq Composite volume ($TVOLQ) that checks and compares x-day (up to 10) average vol and today vs. yesterday at various time-of-day intervals... It creates and re-iteratively fills the appropriate values in the array at each...

    Doing it real time - as in a true DDE link - is beyond me, but if all you wanted to do was transfer price info into Excel, that's easy.

    Trading only career that doesn't require people?

    We subsist at the extreme end of typical post-modern paradoxes: We immediately experience a totally mediated relationship to the world... we interact directly - intensely, emotionally, fatefully, even rather sensually - with the abstract essence of contemporary capitalism... There's no...

    Hmmm... saw how quickly a bunch of people downloaded that meaningless chart I used in my example... so here's something that might conceivably be more helpful or at least relevant:

    Days like today- arrghhhhh!!!

    ... and ran... ...once upon a time, I'd eat it day after day, waiting for a day like today to make it all back and get positive. Now I trade almost 100% differently, and am green most days, and often do my best on days that once upon a time would have killed me, but on days like today, like...

    Lind-Waldock? Anybody use, comments?

    Last I checked, their commissions were way too high for their service to be seriously considered by most active traders. Also, you hardly ever see anyone on ET who isn't exclusively forcused on equities or equity index instruments, though there do seem to be a few people trading currencies...

    the trend is up, market has bottomed.

    Might be more of a danger if he were selling puts or something... unless he's really devoting a huge percentage of his capital to his prediction. He can answer for himself, if he likes. What has never ceased to amaze me, since before the big top to the present, is how inexorably and...

    Nasdaq 5k

    I agree with most of what you said, but, all the same, it's worth remembering what happened to perhaps a handful of "glamor" stocks from the 1920s. One of the more well-known examples, because it was mentioned by Loeb in THE BATTLE FOR INVESTMENT SURVIVAL, is Technicolor - owner of a hot new...

    the trend is up, market has bottomed.

    Well there was the Depression: Stocks were plunging, prices weren't just stagnant... they were declining... I'm not sure about dividends during the '30s, but I suspect that, generally speaking, they weren't very dependable, and, where dependable, adequately compensatory for the capital risk...
