    Does anyone *really* understand margin?

    There is a function in TWS that tells you the margin requirement of anything you're about to sell or buy. Just hit an ask or bid (without transmitting) and pull up the right click menu.

    POLL - Futures: How do you determine the trend?

    I don't get it. Anybody who is not totally nuts knows, there cannot possibly be a ready made solution to trading. There can't be any "optimized" indicator settings to anything, by default. This site is not kindergarten, I can't imagine a single member of Et only could ignore this. So why...

    Yield Curve more or less flat

    While the yield curve is important, it's the availability of credit that is ultimately decisive. Treasuries to corporates should be an even better indicator according to modern economics. One should keep an eye on this. The question is though, how long is the lag? Classic estimates say it...

    POLL - Futures: How do you determine the trend?

    Thanks Charlie, thanks Fritz (I had no idea eSignal actually is really useful) To Victor S: I have a Market Profile background, I think Dalton's way to define trends makes sense. That implies differentiating between the bulk of volume moving or not moving and single spikes (call them...

    POLL - Futures: How do you determine the trend?

    :confused: :confused: :confused: I do have eSignal. They offer some really bizarre charting methods called PB, Kagi and Renko, which are nothing else than a point and figure in a different look, as far as I can tell. I can't find anything that looks like equivolume (i.e. charting price...

    POLL - Futures: How do you determine the trend?

    Ok, we're looking at an eqivolume chart. So the light blue lines presumably are open/close marking the days go by. The oscillator is your proprietary ergodic one, if I understood correctly. I assume it's not normalized to a fixed scale, it might be logarithmic though, I can't tell. Anyway...

    POLL - Futures: How do you determine the trend?

    Do i assume right, you are talking about Bayesian probability? I wonder what the epistemic probability distribution is of there being a "baynesian mustard"...:D :D :D I like the oil chart. But I would be interested in where you would actually enter. As far as I can see, after the first...

    POLL - Futures: How do you determine the trend?

    You assume the constant/ accumulating entropy of closed systems. That is a very grave conceptual error. Two things can happen: -input from outside (news) -the system itself is learning The second point is really interesting. When everybody can see the trend/ oscillation is drifting...

    Lesson - "CCI Trading Technique"

    While there are marginally helpful ways to use the CCI, you seem to utterly ignore them.

    TICK/ TRIN / MA/ / LEVEL2 / other indicators all bs.

    The option cracks on this forum wouldn't like that statement. I think I've read pages of reasons why the Put/Call ratio is meaningless.

    POLL - Futures: How do you determine the trend?

    1) I haven't voted. The answers are not exactly what I want to spend my valuable time with. I do have a well defined concept of trend though. 2) -> Charlie Dow I like some of your concepts, although they are far from unique, not even advanced. The value of volume bars is obvious in my...

    Computer Security

    I love eMule. But you are opening your firewall to random attacks, that might or might not happen. Furthermore I suspect that the music/film industry is using illegal means to counterattack nets like eMule. The problem is, there is no protection against a kernel mode rootkit, that's hiding...

    Computer Security

    1: You definitely, under all circumstances need a hardware firewall. Most routers do include one, that's fine - software firewalls are not enough. 2: Do not mess with your firewall. No eMule, no bittorrent, no IRC, never open any ports permanently. 3: Given that you have a fine working...

    Copper

    Price action for the last two days very much looks like somebody is unwinding a short position. So why do the Chinese deny this? Answer: They are irritating mainland Chinese buyers, to make them postpone their aquisitions in hope of better prices. The only perceivable circumstances under...

    Is this software of interest?

    Server based would mean to give proprietary strategies out of hand. I'm not sure if everybody is willing to do that.

    Copper

    Thanks also. I've just read a couple of articles. I'm convinced now a top is pretty imminent, but there won't be any major decline before end of december I suppose. I wonder why people STILL underestimate the chinese government. They start lying before they open even the mouth, but they...
