Try TWSLink. Download it from http://trade-commander.com/ There's a thread discussing TWSLink here at http://elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=92901&highlight=twslink

I did some automated trading on a net book. In particular, on an Acer Aspire One while I was away from my regular trading turret. It worked okay, with my trading system netting a profit. Concerning dialogs that extend off the screen, get a copy of a shareware program called ShoveIt. It...

Before you quit your day job and/or commit real money to a system with a profit factor of less than 1.1, you might want to test your theory for a month or two with a simulation account. Keep a journal here and show everyone that profit factor is almost worthless as a parameter for evaluating the...

I prefer HSI on the HKFE to the KOSPI. HSI really moves. KOSPI is more liquid, but for whatever reason, I can't seem to trade it as well as the HSI. You might also take a look at STW on the Singapore Futures Exchange. I believe it's an index for Taiwan. That would be my third choice after the...

Try the online chat; someone answers. They claim the minimum investment is $10.

I've traded SPI on the Sydney Futures Exchange, but there is not sufficient liquidity for my tastes. I might trade it again if I was really bored and the HKFE and KSE were closed that day.

This is based on actual trading or solely on your vast experience with back testing? Probably the reason profit factor increases with bar size is because the size of profits and losses start to completely dwarf commissions and slippage with larger bars. At smaller bar sizes, commission and...

Yes, but what are your assumptions? If you're assuming that every buy is at the high of the bar and every sell is at the low, and stops get filled with ten points slippage, you might possibly have a profitable system.

Because there is not much of a safety factor. The slightest slippage, bad fills, and mistakes will wipe that profit out and probably result in a loss. Paper trade your system for a month. I bet it won't be profitable with a profit factor that low.

Try the KOSPI and the Hang Seng.

Futures trading tends to result in overtrading because there are only a few instruments to monitor. The trader gets bored, and starts taking a few trades that aren't ideal, and winds up in red ink. Equity traders on the other hand, have thousands of choices. There is usually something moving...

You expect lower housing prices, but higher prices for precious metals? Lower and lower housing prices is inconsistent with an inflation thesis.

Iran attacked the US when Jimmy Carter was president. Specifically, attacked and invaded the US embassy, which is considered an act of war, unless you're a pussy like Carter. There are two types of people in the US. Those that remember the Carter years, and those that are about to find out what...

The best place to track when the HKFE will be closed is the IB calender at http://individuals.interactivebrokers.com/en/p.php?f=calendars&ib_entity=llc in which it says that Hong Kong markets are closed today. Note: Do not rely on the IB Trader's Calendar, which is a pdf. There are many...

Instead of selecting stocks that are extended upward or downward at the end of the day, why don't you select stocks that statistically tend to gap down or up overnight and short or buy such stocks near the close of the session? AAPL for example, more than half the time, opens at least $0.50 on...

Google Mega Life. It's a total scam. Here's some of the results that turn up:

What's the difference between US auto manufacturers and Overstock.com? Overstock.com has a viable business model.

Hard and long? Is that a Freudian slip? That is certainly not how Ashley Dupre described Spitzer. Hard and long is the kind of time Spitzer should be doing in a Federal prison.

There are plenty of jobs. The problem is that wages are too high. How many people would you hire if you could get them to work for you for $1/day?
