    Would the combination of NT and Interactive Broker work for data or would I have to get a separate datafeed? Thanks.

    Zur Goldenen Birne

    Adolf Loos called it "being at home yet not in your apartment"... it's a wonderful thing. As a student in Vienna, I used to hang out there, everyone had their favorite one. You had free newspapers from all over the world, you could have one single coffee, stay for 5 hours and they would never...

    Getting down and dirty is where the rubber meets the road ...

    With all due respect, I don't think this would work. First of all, there are strong currents down there. I dit quite a bit of scuba diving, sometimes you go 100 feet down and it is a fast moving river down there. Try 5000 feet. Your fabric tube would have to be weighted at the bottom and...

    House Money

    The placement of the stop has nothing to do with how much you risk. 2 different things: 1. you decide where your stop is, 2. You then figure how many shares you can buy based on risking 2% or whatever. You dont place the stop "2% away". Stock price is $50. Your stop is let's say 2 points...

    House Money

    Actually, the management system described above is exactly how some professional gamblers size their bets.

    House Money

    Disagree. Some of the best money management systems treat your original stake and the "house money" different. For example, they risk 1% of your original money "core equity" but let's say 5% of profits (numbers are random). As soon as you fall back below the zero profits line you only risk 1%...

    I know.. just tried to lower the threshold and increase the temptation by giving suggesting 10:1 odds. That way there is no excuse? Another offer would be: either win the whole trade amount or- if proven wrong- agree to not post on ET again, and have your IP adress permanently banned. Of...

    The way I see it, the detractors- T666 or whoever- claim that all these trades are fakes. So- since they are so completely sure- why not put a bit of money where their mouth is, especially with such little risk and such a high reward? That way they would either a. compensate the trader for...

    I have another idea. How about some arrangement where, if a specific trade is questioned, it is verified (however- logging on to the trader's computer with gotomypc etc., with one of the ET monitors as a witness. Could be done easy and safely, unless somebody thinks that one would actually be...

    Also, you said this is taken from "across the Hudson" at midtown? Really? Looks to me like from the Promenade in Brooklyn, across the East River. And- what happened to surfers "5th avenue offices"?

    Mr. Black, you guys seem to use fixed targets and stops? How are they determined- from the chart or are they just a fixed amount, such as 20 ticks...? Than,s.

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    I think I figured it out. Originally, this was called proposition H.R.1068: "(6) This transfer tax would be on the sale and purchase of financial instruments such as stock, options, and futures. A quarter percent (0.25 percent) tax on financial transactions could raise approximately $150...
