    ING offering 2 year CD @ 4%

    Oh yeah, sorry I wasn't aware that this was a senior investment group. People with 1M$+ can afford professionals to take care of their money. If the stock market returns 9% historically, they would not leave 40K/year on the table (9%-5%) for the sake of some 'safety'. Even more now...

    ING offering 2 year CD @ 4%

    Like I said, the 'risk-free' rate of return is a losing proposition over the long term due to taxes and inflation.

    ING offering 2 year CD @ 4%

    You guys are getting way too excited over 4% returns. When you take taxes and inflation into account you are losing money. The stock market will give you 9% over the long term and since this IS EliteTrader.com I suggest that people that know what they're doing can easily make 18% swing...

    Pattern Day Traders Criteria and Restrictions on IB

    Currently you can daytrade canadian stocks (without the PDT limitation) using IB. (For now) BUT. Canadian stocks are much less volatile and commission is .02$ per share.

    Some Things I Learned About Automated Trading Systems From Writing a Poker Bot

    You can have your bot read the text inside the 'dealer' chat window and figure out the players/hands this way. There is a free hand parser available on sourceforge.org but a competent programmer could write his own in a few days. A much more complicated way is to take a screen shot every few...

    High oil prices: blessing in disguise

    Yeah but Ritter was right. So really, the WMDS did not exist. Also, I am not sure that he is doing all of this out of greed like you seem to suggest. Clearly, the way he has been treated so far, you'd think there would be an easier way for him to make a living.

    Alexander Elder

    I'm not sure what your problem is. You think Alexander ELDER shoud go around every web site in the universe and buy his own name to make sure that people don't impersonate him? You're just trying to mooch off his name & reputation. He was nice enough to allow you to do it as long as you make...

    Alexander Elder

    Elder did not ask you to code his indicators. He obviously prefers to build them himself inhouse. It's his right. As for the name, he offered you a solution that made it clear to everyone that these were your take on his indicators and were not to be confused with his company. (ie: "Ellis on...

    Any work for a recent college grad?

    I would rather mow lawns than work for your average American corporation. Remember that most of your cubicle buddies are there because they can't make it in the real world. I mean really, who wants to be chained to a desk for 50+ hour weeks making someone else money? Your boss has probably...

    Any work for a recent college grad?

    Tom, I am not sure that this is realistic for a kid with little or no experience but perhaps as a project, you should take him under your wings and teach him. I agree that he is in a great position to do something like that, but his odds of survival are much better with "some" profesional...

    Options Course for S7?

    A course will just "introduce" the same materials that you get in the study books. If you are new to options the only way to learn is to get very familiar with the terminology and do tons of exercises until you become comfortable. When you are very comfortable with those exercises, make...

    A Good Experiance w/ Brandon Fredrickson

    I am actually pretty happy with the free advice he has given out so far. Seeing inside the mind of a trader is for me, more interesting than being given entry & exit points. I have also adapted one of the setups that he has talked about here, some time ago (again free), and it has been...

    Toyota chief fears GM, Ford demise

    Wilburbear, you can buy an American car for thousands of dollars less then the a foreign one. Aren't you the one that loves Wal-Mart because they sell 7$ shoes? Don't you shop there all the time because their stuff is so much cheaper? You should love GM. What is this 'sending a message'...

    Toyota chief fears GM, Ford demise

    Can you believe those lazy GM workers in the US? The gall, asking for health insurance from their employer!!! Let them eat cake, I say! BTW, in Canada, health costs per car are only 100$ because Canada has decent healthcare that does not act like a tax on business. Ciao.

    LAPTOP deals, anyone buying one lately, what are you using for trading

    The new laptops have quite an 'improvement' that you may not be aware of at first glance. Most of the screens now have a technology called "TrueBrite", "BrightView" or similar. This makes your screen extremely nice and dark when watching DVDs. The problem is that it also gives out extreme...

    Random Rants and Market Ideas

    Brandon, keep up the good work. You're one of the few that have something interesting, and actually related to trading, to say around here.

    Swift...interview in June.

    Look at it as if you were going back to school. The university doesn't pay you, nor does it guarantee that your degree will be worth something in the future. If you want it, you'll find a way to manage.
