Are the two using the same symbol or different symbols?

I don't know anything for sure, but I have seen a quote from a Eurex exec (Michael McErlean, the managing director of Eurex U.S., in Active Trader mag) to the tune of "the new version is two or three versions ahead of what's currently being used." in regards to the A/C/E platform. I assume and...

my present acct is 'sub25K' in size, but is a margin acct. so I _can_ short stocks in this acct? Yes you can short with less that 25K in a margin account. to keep outside the PDT rule, I need to make less than 4 daytades, in what, per month? week? day? Week.

OK, I take that back. I just went back and looked at my source. I do take the ABS of the numerator. The denominator is always positive, so that one doesn't need it. My bad.

I don't use absolute value when I caculate ADX. I just do: DX = (pdi - mdi) / (pdi + mdi) ADX = emov(DX) Seems to be correct to me, FWIW. Can't remember where I original came across the formula, but that's what it was.

Scroll right. He is taking a screenshot of the desktop on a two monitor setup. Would be nice if he just took a screen shot of the active app instead.

As usual, this type of thread is starting to become a bit like asking someone to help you picking a trading strategy. "Use MACD". "MACD is no good, use stochastics!". "Your kidding right". "Everyone uses the 20mov, so use that." etc. :)

Sorry. I'm not familiar with the current books on the market. I learned it many years ago and no longer have the books I learned from. All I have left is a reference or two which wouldn't be good as teaching tools. I'd just go to Borders and start poking around.

While I see no need to write a trading app in assembly (ack), this is a good point for anyone that wants to become a hardcore programmer. Way back when I was first learning C, what really made working with pointers "click" in my mind was working in assembler for a bit. After that, it all...

I would choose C# to learn on. I started with Commodore 64 Basic, moved on to Pascal, then C, then C++ (which is what I use most of the time these days). I've also worked with Python and Perl, both of which I like in some respects. But if I were starting all over again, I'd start with C#...

That's nothing. You want a nice computing environment, check this one out... http://poetictech.com/aura/index.html

DX = (pdi - mdi) / (pdi + mdi) ADX = mov(DX)

I think the question needs a bit more info. Are you refering to accounting policies or order filling? You say contracts, so I assume you are trading emini's which aren't subject the wash sale rule. So I assume you mean order fills? In which case, IB just sends them to Globex, and Globex does...

FWIW, I don't know about Win2000, but it works for me under WinXP Pro.

For one, no uptick rule. Thus easier to get into both legs of the trade at the same time. Edit: I assume you meant why trade the indices vs. the stocks themselves. If you meant why trade the indices as pairs instead of just trading the ES and/or the NQ with different strategies, then the...

I think the wording of your poll is confusing. The question asks whether we think it is possible (that is, if anyone can do it), but the answers seem to imply that the question wants to know if we personally can do it. So, do you want to know if I can do it, or do you want to know if I think...

That doesn't wash with me, as that is the reason this ActiveX control is part of the esignal client app. The client app can limit the requests, etc. and your max is already defined in your service level. Most folks are limited to 100 symbols unless they want to pay extra. The ActiveX control...

Keltner is based on Average True Range how does that differ from what Bollinger bands are constructed from? Bollinger Bands are constructed from standard deviations, not average true range. Not quite the same. Also, BB use a simple moving average as opposed to an exponential moving average.

I'm wondering about any info regarding taxes and trading the European futures. Being a U.S. citizen, how does the U.S. tax my trading of them. And, do I have to pay any form of European tax? Etc... TIA
