They don’t have any built in strategies like Tradestation. They have sample projects that they created to show you how to use the code and place a simple order. You have to build your own strategy and code using Excel VBA or build your own application with code using VB6 or whatever you use.

The key there is “can” make 100k. Most don’t even come close, unless they have their own shop, in which case they are not just mechanics but business owners too. That entails a lot more than being a mechanic. Oh and citing figures from schools that are trying to sell you an education...

So then what’s the solution? People on ET rail at people who don’t have “skills” complaining they can’t make a decent living, now you are saying education is a waste of time.

Real life scenarios like these do not play into the minds of Libertarians and Republicans. There is no “if” in their vocabulary. Everything is according to some theory of how things should work. I voted for Ron Paul, but I do disagree with him on some things. I mostly like him because he...

I don’t trade for a living, but I do buy my own insurance because no employer I’ve ever worked for provided it. My premium has gone from $135 to $272 in the past 6 years. I can safely say that my income has not doubled in the time period to make up for it. You are right, I constantly...

Then where are all the jobs that were supposed to be created by the Bush tax cuts to the rich? For 8 years, the rich knew their taxes weren’t going up, but yet the private sector job market has been dwindling for years. Where do you get the figure that they waste 98 cents out of every dollar...

He sums up what ET has become. It’s not a place to have an itelligent conversation anymore, it’s just where people bash everybody else cause they think they’re scoring some points somewhere. Anybody who spends their time to needlessly bash someone because they deliver pizza obviously has...

Well it really just matters where you are working. I know people doing all of them, they are pretty much all the same. Just like pizza delivery used to be great money but for various reasons it’s not anymore, so will those other jobs that people rely on. They are easily replaceable with cheap...

No, we do know what you are, you are another multiple screen name from those forex threads. You couldn’t prove your point then, so I guess you have to get create fake screen names to support yourself. BTW, I never said FXCM wasn’t a bucketshop, because they are. I simply asked for...

Yea and I’ll bet the most successful traders in the world would agree with me that the sky is blue. Doesn’t make it true, though. The fact that you are wasting so much time on ET critisizing people for delivering pizza shows that you are most likely not part of that group of successful traders.

Thanks for clogging up my PM box with your crap. You're a typical ET poster who can't create a decent argument for his side, so you have to resort to the internet equivalent of throwing a temper tantrum. You should fit in great around here. You make fun of me for delivering pizza and trading...

No I’m serious, when I was deliverying pizza, we used to joke about that. How bad the economy was going to get until the phd’s came down and wanted a job. It hurt us real bad because there were so many part time people who came there because they were in between jobs or needed a second job...

Isn’t that the same thing they said about Clinton? Then Bush comes in and gives big tax cuts and promotes free markets and whatever and the economy tanks. There is no statistical evidence that the economy is better under a Republican and in fact the opposite seems to be true. The president...

I’m a caddie at a golf course now, I’ll have to look into that. It wouldn’t surprise me. As a caddie, they charge a fee to the golfer, but I only get a third of it. The rest goes to the club and the contractor I work for. Then at the end of the round, recommended tip is almost as much as...

That’s the story of business nowadays. Instead of just raising their prices, they tack on a hidden charge that everybody thinks is a tip, but isn’t. The little guy doesn’t do anything because he’s afraid to lose his job, or just doesn’t care.

Well Thanks for that. Even better would be to call your local store and ask them for the number of either the district manager or the franchise office. Call them up and ask them why they deceive the customers and charge a delivery charge and don’t even give it to the driver. The sad part...

I have delivered pizza for awhile. It used to be great, but not anymore. The last place I worked at (a national franchise) paid drivers $4.75 an hour. Plus they get 86 cents a delivery, which is nowhere near enough to cover the actual cost to operate a car so we had to pay for that out of our...

Why in the world would you want to do that? Actually spend time in school to train students free of charge to be able to do a vocation. But then we wouldn’t know what the capital of Vermont is?

Wait a minute. He said Grandpa would tell you to go make something of yourself, you don’t deserve anything. I said it’s not the same world that Grandpa grew up in. Now you say “It’s not Grandpa’s world anymore is it?” So then why don’t you tell the other guy that Grandpa’s wisdom...

Well I have delivered pizza and that never happened to me, but I’m very glad that you stuck up for them. Anytime I go to a fast food place, I like to make it as easy as possible for them. Like for instance, I actually know what I want when it’s my turn to order. Boy what a concept...
