YEAH, 5K IS Just enough to end up like the other 95%.......besides.....I could use another 5k, so thanks in advance.

THE REQUIRED MINIMUM NET WORTH TO PARTICIPATE IN IB'S ACCREDITED INVESTOR" PRIVATE DEBT PLACEMENTS IS 1MM. This has absolutely nothing to do with opening an account.

2 degreees ......economics and the other finance. I was trading in class years ago when you could barely hook up a cell phone to a computer. The PHd's were always pulling me into their office & asking for advice from me--HA,! If your determined, then there is little that you can't teach...

Thanks for all the help & great links. I had a problem with my excel program (thus making this seem harder than it was). I keep having problems with conditional orders, the sample page from IB doesn't seem to be constructed correctly. I've seen a lot of discussion about this problem at the...

I favor NYSE as well. Yet, we'll only hear about peaches and cream from Don about the NYSE. We both make money down there. MY ISSUE IS THE WHOLE PRINCIPLE OF THE MATTER.......I guess Don doesn't care, as long as he makes his two cents.

......."so I am just not going to do anyone any favors. . . ". I hear ya, but forget favors.......how about just doing their f*ckin' job! Here's the latest horseh*it: I've watched specs. leave a marketable limit order on the book, with no other incoming orders for as much as 7-9...

Yeah, today was one of the worst I've seen in a progressively worse NYSE trading environment. I still made plenty today.....but only got a fraction of what was due. I've started tracking my limits against locked book & whats due execution. Today was a low point at near 28-29% of all limits...

I'm fairly computer literate.....but tying in Excel via IB's API is beyond me, I guess. I need a simple automated spreadsheet for IB's excel API/dde interface. I need it to be able to do everything that the stand alone TWS download can do in terms of functionality. Then I need my open...

I'm afraid Trend Fader is indeed correct about "80% correlation in most cases"---I'd agree that this is a good generalization.

Absolutely agreed, Their entire data set of correlation numbers for all indices looks suspect. I get 80% correlation as well. An easy quick check is a SP500 chart against any of these indices.....and you'll see a very high postively correlated chart. Then run the data yourself. I don't know...

Thanks ..........now the imports don't work right.

Quit pickin' on him Nitro.......we both know its a hardcore club down there....you can't just walk in with 100mm and say "I wanna be a Spec".......I wish it were that easy. You both have great points. I've made markets on NYSE, and took 25-40% of the daily volume on about 70-85...

Can't be on both sides of the market on AMEX. This is an exchange rule. Post one side AMEX and the other on an ECN..then you can legally be on both sides of the market in an AMEX stock, as only 1 side is on the AMEX.

"Ex. Dividend" means "trading without dividend". Hence it traded on the 19th with no dividend due to shareholders who bought it that day or later.

Ex. Dividend date was 3/19/04. This means if your short or long BEFORE the 4pm close on 18th, you would pay....or receive the dividend.

Nothing worse than a NON-Logarithmic chart for that data set....Yale should know better. Talk about data manipulation.

What types of data are you looking for?-There might be other ways to get it. As far as basic MLS info....(ie hunting down your own house, or finding comparables for valuation), just go to realtor.com

EXCELLENT THREAD--Tellin it like it is......for the masses. I've been full time trading for 7 years now......I'm very profitable.....but IT IS A RAZOR THIN EDGE between making it as a living and blowing your kids (or your) future for college/retirement. If I knew what I know now--when I...

You gotta be kiddin'. Is THIS really worthy of its own thread?????? While it may not be proper HTML geeking.....it does visually segregate each area for extra focus. In the end I could care less which they use.

Yes, But that's USD denominated.......back to the USD decline problem........when you lose money, even sitting in cash! CHF/EUR/GBP money market funds then??!!! :eek:
