Mark, I appreciate your comments. You are definitely an inspiration to anyone who wants to help traders increase their potential with your continued sharing of your trading methods. I continue to monitor your hammers thread. I have no intentions of completely abandoning this board, I simply find...

My current situation doesn't allow me any time to sift through the volumes of new threads any more. I didn't want to disappear without saying thanks to the moderators and Baron. At the current rate of new threads, I would need a secretary to sift through and find me the 5% that I feel are worth...

Baron/Joe/Moderators: I want to send you a heartfelt thank you for the service you provide and the work you do to make this board happen. I will no longer be able to spend time browsing through ET. I will only be able to reply to those threads in which I have already participated. I have...

Notice from eCBOT: Due to technical difficulties the market will not open at 6pm CST. Further updates regarding the market opening will be forthcoming.

CQG has a notice out saying that CBOT will be postponing the open of electronic contracts.

Interesting points by all. I have been refraining from adding my thoughts because I know that I will just blab and blab. Firstly, the movie is not about Ramtha or his reincarnation in that lady (who I feel was not at all similar to true gurus or sages like those found in Rishikesh, India. The...

Your prior post and this one quoted above are absolutely true unless you have a sizeable stake in the outcome of the traders' performance. I have hired, backed and mentored traders. There has to be a specific method to do this in order for you not to lose focus. I started shortly after I stopped...

Funny thing about the CBOT is that they will charge for rent on the square footage outside the usable area. In other words, they figure it out from the outside of the outside walls to the outside of the outside walls around the office. They also require a very long lease and are merciless about...

Works fine over here.

Well, look at your Network usage chart and see how much %-age you are using for the 100mbps ethernet connection you have to your machine. If it gets close to 3% and your service is 3mbps/384kbps, then you will need to upgrade. I have a 1.5mbps T-1 private line running X-Trader with 6 markets...

Yes, you are absolutely right. My main point is to check your task manager and find out how much of your bandwidth you are actually using first before upgrading. Latency is a separate issue and often cannot be controlled by the ISP and won't matter to anyone but the most active scalpers...

Increased bandwidth will only help you if you are using the line to access a lot of information at once. If you are using WinXP, use the Networking feature of the Task Manager to find out how much bandwidth you are really using. The chart is a % based on your ethernet bandwidth (usually 100...

Yeah. I realized today that I can't just leave it running. I needed to reconnect to get it going again. Thanks.

Thanks so much for your help. Both the current bid/ask and the bid/ask indicator are continuously changing cells. However, the cells they reference to determine the color are static. How does effect this code?

I noticed it went quiet yesterday.

Your stop for GLD is higher than your entry price. Is this a buy stop?

Here is the sample file

Hi folks, I have a need to apply some conditional formatting to 2 cells inside a spreadsheet that contains significant levels that I wish to watch. The standard conditional formatting allows one to apply 3 conditions (max) to any cell. However, I want the cell's background color to change...

You need a broker with access to pink sheets like Scottrade. IB doesn't handle OTC stocks. I remember for those types of trades, you had to call and do it through a limit order using a live broker. I may be wrong as other brokerages might have different solutions.

I had a similar situation with a Maxtor. Started making grinding noises and was inaccessible. It was replaced and I had to send the old one back. I took to a local store that repairs computers and happened find one with a bulk eraser (he described it as a big magnet). I gave it to him, he ran it...
