and the H.G. pattern doesn't look very good. I tested it across CIEN, IBM, GE, AMZN, HAS and none of them performed well over 1000 day period. I should point out that I didn't do the coding, I just had it laying around, so there might be some problems there. Anyone else find especially...

The author's names are Mark Conway and Aaron Behle. There are many possible reasons for your problem but the two more likely are: 1. You saved the function as "Numeric" when it is a "True/False." or 2. You haven't written out the EntryTarget function yet. Obviously there are...

but you're not sure whether you want to read it?? Anyway, I had several quibbles with the book (fib #s, writing style, etc.) but overall wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. The process that Farley uses is more important than any specific methodology.

This is off topic but Alphie mentioned Doom III a few posts back. Alphie - I played a pre beta version! The graphics were insane. The shadowing and lighting made the whole experience pretty wild. That's the good news. The bad news is that the three levels I played didn't make me beg for...

In Pre-Market trading I often see "Form T" assigned to some trades. What does this mean? Anyone?

In Tokyo there (for the most part) isn't any tipping. Personally I prefer this system. The service isn't as good as in N.A., but I feel better about going out to eat. When I'm in N.A. I always feel as though there is a hidden tax. Obviously wait staff don't make enough to live on and if you...

I know it was a shortened session yesterday and most institutional buyers were absent, but did the specialists take the day off, too? Check out these "Timely" market order fills I got: Short 100 PQE @ market. Filed: 10:02.57 filled at: 10:13.55 !!!!!! Short 300 VVI @ market. Filed...

I was long a couple hundred SPY for a few weeks. I was using a GTC order. I woke up one morning and discovered that I'd been sold out, even though SPY never went near my stop (which was above my purchase price) and I was still holding a profitable position. I contacted Datek and they agreed that...
