    historical data question

    You say that IB is throttling the data? IB still has most expired contracts going back a couple of years or so. I can download each contract in maybe 10 minutes give or take while I do something else. In Multicharts you can then edit the data, combine it, convert it to ascii etc. You can...

    Buffet is a Skinflint

    I agree 100% with Buffet and his opinions about inheritance. He says that inheritance taxes need to be kept high. The rewards should go to the people who did the right work, not the people who were born in the right family. If you don't keep inheritance taxes high, you'll end up with just a...

    The #1 Reason Why America will never recover

    A Shopping Prayer: Armani who art in Holts. Hallowed be thy shoes. Thy Prada come. Thy shopping done. On Bloor St. as it is in Paris. Give us this day, our Visa Gold. And forgive us our balance. As we forgive those who charge us interest. Lead us not into Wal-Mart. And deliver us from Sears...

    I found Madoffs money

    The original investors who collected dividends or made withdrawls were collecting the proceeds of crime. Wouldn't they be liable for the illegal profits? If I buy a stolen car, even if I don't know it was stolen, I don't get to keep it when it's found out that it was stolen.

    Multicharts User Thread

    Ideally I would just like to be able to do the same thing that is possible with Sierrachart. I'd like to find the file for the NQ Decemeber 2008 contract, just rename it to March 2009, reconnect to my IB data feed and then be able to see several months of data. I've looked and looked in the...

    Multicharts User Thread

    The only way I could find to create a continuous contract was as follows: Export one minute data from the old contract From Quote Manager, open the new contract, then import the old contract as ascii data that I had saved previously It's a little tedious and messy. In a search of...

    Multicharts User Thread

    Does anyone know how to merge or rename a futures chart with Multicharts in order to make a continuous contract? For example, I have the NQZ8 futures contract going back to September. I'd like to rename it to NQH9 or merge it so that I show continuous data going back to September in one...

    companies that will benefit from the big three going under

    Ford is nowhere close to going under. They just went along to Washington for the moral support.

    Odds Czar: Simple Biases In the Futures Market: 2008

    Art, I have an idea for a mechanical system that might have some value in itself or combined with some filters. I wish that I had the skill to program it myself into easylanguage so I can test it. I've just started to use Multicharts which uses easylanguage but I have quite a bit of learning to...

    Optometry Scam

    This is the best website that I've seen yet about the myths surrounding myopia: http://www.myopia.org/ Half of us are victims of the optical industry and we don't even realize it.

    Optometry Scam

    Some might think that a discussion about glasses has no place on a trading forum. However I think next to losing all your money, this is one of the biggest hazards of the profession. I wanted to see if other traders suffer from the same vision problems and to strike up an intelligent discussion...

    Optometry Scam

    20/30 vision would give you a prescription of about -1.0 diopters. You probably need glasses to drive now especially at night. You should still be able to see your computer screen without glasses. I would make sure that you don't wear your glasses while you're on the computer otherwise your...

    Optometry Scam

    http://www.myopia.org/ebook/11chapter6.htm http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-22308354_ITM The jury is still out on the cause of myopia. Most Optometrists believe that it's something you're born with. They are trained only to prescribe glasses for the condition. It's not in...

    Optometry Scam

    I've started to use a pair of weak glasses whenever I work on the computer. My normal eyeglass prescription is -3.25 for each eye. I obtained a pair of with a prescription of -1.75 for each eye from Zenni optical for only $8. These glasses are just strong enough for me to see the computer screen...

    Inexpensive Plan To Create Millions Of Jobs

    I've heard complaints about immigrants but I've heard worse complaints from employers who can't get Americans to work and have to resort to immigrants. Im saying that the main argument used against immigrants, legal or illegal, is that they are taking American's jobs away. If you go by that...

    Inexpensive Plan To Create Millions Of Jobs

    By that logic, we should send everyone out of the country who is holding a job. Just keep the people here who aren't working and we'll all be better off.
