Doe's anyone have the 1-minute data for HSI and HHI between 1/15 and 1/20? For some reason my esignal won't backfill my 1-minute data past the Chinese New Year. If anyone has it can you please PM me.

Switch to the next month's contract on the the second last trading day of the month.

Since 1962, the S&P's average daily trading range has been about 1.5% percent of the opening price. Over the last 6 months it's been much lower than that though (probably just about two thirds of the historical average). The Naz is typically a decent amount higher but I don't have any figures...

Are there any squawk services that offer just pit noise without anyone talking?

And hasn't Bush been one of the most fiscally irresponsible presidents in years?

IB's commissions are 2 cents/share for Canadian stocks.

osx, I agree with you that mechanisms must be in place to insure that only available borrowed stock be shorted and no more than that under any circumstances. Frankly, I just assumed those mechanisms were already in place (I admit I have a limited knowledge of the clearing process). I also...

I really hope this is true. The uptick rule is incredibly stupid. Still, 2 1/2 months without the ability to short without upticks would still suck. I don't blame the SEC for cracking down on bullets though. Allowing people to break a rule (regardless of how stupid that rule is) just because...

Well, I must admit, bullets should not be allowed, but the uptick rule shouldn't exist either (for liquid stocks). I am going to miss them a lot though, having to wait for an uptick to short really sucks and seems fascist to me. Hopefully the SEC gets their act together and changes short sale...

I had to deal with this situation today actually. I lost a bunch of money very early in the trading day and evil thoughts started creeping into my head. What I did was get away from my computer for 5 minutes, forgot about the loss, surpressed my rage and collected my thoughts. When I sat back...

autoscale sucks

Just started trading the morning session of the Hang Seng futures. (9:45pm-12:30am EST)

Whether or not there's more of an edge for you or me or whoever as a result of the PDT rule is irrelevant. The SEC should create rules that are fair to everyone, without influence from special interest groups or large corporations. P.S. The uptick rule and reserve size suck too!

What's their website address?

This has nothing to do with Jebus, leave him out of this

Fear of size is merely psychological. You should be able to execute with a 10 (or even a 50) contract default on the S&P minis just as easily as with one contract. Of course you have to stay within the parameters of your money management strategy and ease your way into it, but you must force...

You can store files on Kazaa. It's not just audio files. I've downloaded all sorts of video files and software. You can download big files too. I've downloaded files as big as 200 MB before, so tick data should work too. I actually just put 2 files on Kazaa in case anyone is interested...

I'd like to see historical data shared in a way similar to the way music is pirated on Kazaa and other websites like that. Besides, it should be free anyway.

I live in Toronto and I must say that this SARS thing is being blown out of proportion a lot. Granted, this disease isn't something to take lightly but you have to keep in mind that less than 150 out of 5 million people in the greater Toronto area have contracted SARS (16 have died). I don't...
