The class is $7,500 not $1,500. So that is around $150,000 per year from the two classes alone. The webinar is a self-study course and he can sell many more than just 9 or 10 so this number could be even greater than the class revenue depending on how many he sells... there is no limit because...

I didn't say he was like every other vendor because I do believe he actually does trade full-time and risks his own money in the market. However, he does also sell the Jellie material as webinars for $1500 a pop. It is not just the classes that he makes money off twice a year.

I did not misrepresent any information and was actually quite accurate in my recollection of his net profits per RT. Net profit of $5 would easily be eaten up by higher retail commissions and/or slippage in my opinion. I stand by my original post about being skeptical that his results are...

The only major exception to this is that Sierra Chart worksheets do not work properly under Linux and Wine from my testing. If you have found a way to have them work under Linux please let me know. I spent hours trying to get them to work and finally gave up. The other thing that doesn't work...

Great, you have chosen well :). Sierra Charts is more than sufficient to handle what you are trying to do but you will have to develop it yourself. You don't need to use ACSIL either, you can use their built-in worksheets combined with a system study. It is really not very hard once you know...

Yeah, I understand your dilemma. I'm still forced to run on Windows XP because .NET doesn't work well enough under Linux/Wine. I can run some Windows based charting programs from Linux but for full support, Windows is still necessary. Linux is great for everything else I do though and if/when I...

Do you use any kind of front-end with IB? There are front-end clients that give you extra control when using IB. I've developed my own risk system that cuts off trading automatically if a loss threshold is reached and shuts down trading for the day. It runs under Sierra Charts that connects to...

what are they waiting for... their leader lives and acts like a despot and they are a tax free organization... err religion yeah right

You can't without an external piece of software. I've never figured out why and IB has never offered any reasonable explanation that I've ever seen. I've used IBController for years and it does the job beautifully by always resetting the logoff time just before TWS is about to exit. It also...

I like Don and his blog generally but this the whole "Jellie" thing has always irritated me a little. I remember reading that his strategy averages only about $5 per contract traded and he is only profitable because he leases an IOM seat. I'm pretty sure that if you tried to duplicate his...

His first book was pretty good actually... Especially when he had to call his wife back to save his fund from collapse during Sept 98 I believe... She was always a much better trader than him. At least he married well.

Look into Sierra Charts. They have built-in worksheets to use if you want to get an automated system up and running quick with basic spreadsheet functions and built-in risk controls ready to go. If you want to code something more complex they have a C++ type language called ACSIL (Advanced...

You probably didn't think John Edwards had a love child either when they reported that in 2007 right but wasn't picked up by the MSM until well into 2008? The National Enquirer has a very good track record of not being sued and/or winning if they are. There is a reason for that...They usually...

In order to do this you need a windows macro like autohotkey and IBController (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ibcontroller/). This is assuming that you do not have a security key on your IB account. If so this cannot be completely automated. You would still need to be present to enter the key...

Great, thanks for taking the time to answer, this is good to hear.

Hi Jason, Any plans to offer rebates for adding liquidity as some other FX brokers have started doing? Would this be something FXCM is looking into in the future?

They seem to be very familiar with the tricks played by FX dealing desks. Didn't they used to operate a dealing desk just a couple of years ago? Should this make me feel better or worse? :)

What version of Java are you using now? Still 1.6.23? I have been using 1.6.0_xx for a long time and have never seen anything similar to the performance problems you are having. I run multiple versions of TWS on a single box and the CPU utilization for Java never goes above about 1 or 2%. I...

I am... Have you been influenced by 'A Course in Miracles'? The wording and writing style you use here and what is in that text seems very similar. I enjoyed reading your posts even if I don't fully understand all of what you are saying yet. Can you recommend some more books that have...
