i was more thinking about trading during the conference call. how often does it happen that management discloses new info on the call, which was not in the PR before ? An example would be MRVl last week. The stock dived after the press release regarding last quarter earnings, zoomed though...

Hi how many of you are listening in on earnings (or other event) conference calls in order to trade on info release during the call ? Would like to hear from you and exchange experiences. OLiver

Maybe you database folks have a point. I have found Excel to be a fantastic front end for my trading but I have indeed experienced problems using Excel as a database. Usually because i have more than 64000 records in my spreadsheet. I have not been willing to invest time to learn SQL. I...

not sure about rules for disclosure. best is to check the rule 144a, which allows qualified investors to invest in those unregistered securities. 90% of the converts are unregistered. OLiver

Most convertible notes are not registered with the SEC. They are done on a rule 144 basis. You have to check a company's press release to get the details. www.convertbonds.com also lists those deals, although with a couple of hours lag. May I ask why you are interested in those ? OLiver

...with pleasure :p I do not know Access well enough, but since it supports VBA, it must be able to do similar things as Excel. For what I'm doing, Excel is the best solution in terms of development time versus trading reward. In the end, I'm a trader not a hard core programmer, although I...

Well, I beg to differ. I have found VBA and Excel the single most important drivers in my trading profitability. They are excellent tools to develop strategies and evaluate data. Access is not really suited to develop customized trading strategies (incl order management) and Tradestation...

Hi Vald I had the same problem a while ago. I found the solution in the form of a VBA macro that does a fuzzy match between 2 strings. The code is listed on the mrexcel.com site, as part of the monthly challenge. Have a look at http://www.mrexcel.com/pc07.shtml and ammend the code to what you...

ok, forgive my ignorance but i don't get the issue with the trade throughs. i can trade nyse stocks at any price via ARCA or other ECNs. I can choose today already (as an example) to hit a bid on ARCA at $1 below the bid/ask of the specialist. What will the new rule be about ? Thanks, Oliver

i would try and code the formulas myself in Excel. Actually, someone on http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xltraders/files/Indicators/ The file is called Yahoo-indicators.zip Good luck OLiver

it must be a negotiated sale between institutions. it is probably cheaper to trade on NASD than on Nyse. Happens all the time. 10% of NYSE listed stock trading volumes is traded on NASD. Oliver

maybe the redi guys have never tried "pre-loading"orders. there is code on the yahoo group that exactly does that, and that could also be a reason why my submission speed is much higher compared to what the redi people claim. Redi support really sucks. :mad: I have not been able to get a...

Come one Joe ! I DO IT EVERY DAY !! 50 orders per second IS possible. You are invited to watch it should you be around Amsterdam. Oliver

Joe, join the yahoo group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/redi_dev/). Someone has posted a nice bit of code to pre-load orders. If you take that bit and replace the submit with submit2, you should be able to do at least 50 orders per second. Oliver

I stand by my comments. I use it every day, and it works. Need to ammend your VBA code to include the "new" submit2 order. Oliver

Hi Heilbronner would you mind to elaborate how you trade a classic '99 split ? I thought stocks that split do outperform during the time it splits (at least that's what the academic papers are saying) ? Greetings, Oliver

FYI: it is possible to send 50+ orders per second in Excel with Redi+ (over DSL). Oliver

Hi Don how come you have IBM on your list ? I thought IBM was the most "efficient" stocks of them all, because of the options....? Oliver

I have installed the software (although I'm not using DTN). It seems that is installs 2 new voices on the system. Is that all ? Oliver

Hi can anyone recommend a good text to speech engine. I currently use the build-in voices in XP, but they have limited functionality (for example, i would like to train the engine to pronounce stock market related words in special ways (such as SES pronounced S...E...C and not as in secondary)...
