On Globex instruments through RJOB, if i enter short at ask and the price moves down a tick, i might move it down to the ask again. If the price moves back to the original ask price TS audio says "Order Rejected". Same thing happens when I am trying to exit a trade. This is irritating especially...

Unless you have a common delimiter, such as a comma or a tab, its going to be difficult to get the values in the columns correctly (the spaces throw it off). You may need to do some data conditioning before pasting or importing into excel.

Given that business/finance software is almost non-existent on OS X, this is likely a want more than a need. :P I purchased three MacBooks, but only because my family loves the OS X operating system. When it comes to trading, I dont use my MacBook, I use a Windows desktop that sits under the...

VMware makes a competing product for Parallels. They are the leaders in virtualization, but are fairly new to the Mac OS side of things. Currently Parallels is the leader for Mac OS right now. If you are using BootCamp, the installation of Windows XP runs quite well. Apple develops their own...

I am also demoing the mirus/ninja trader. Put a side by side comparison with TS Matrix and NinjaTrader static DOM. On the ES, TS seems to updates ticks on a temporal basis, where as zen-fire seems to update ticks as rapid/slow as the market vol moves. Its kind of shocking seeing the...

Given your current financial situation, I would NOT trade with real money yet. If you even were able to save up say $30k for one account, it would probably be emotionally taxing on you. I know at least thats how it was for me initially. But because of my day job, I won't blink if I see ES run...

Wow. Thanks for raising my blood pressure.

Those "gauges" make me feel like I am at the helm of some sort of utilities command center. From the screenshots, it looks like it measures bullishness and bearishness. Why not just run a MA indicator on medium/long timeframe chart? (based on your style). You can see the direction of the...

Oh the irony... Given the eastern European public track record of pirating ~>90% of American software, I would think one would try to downplay this topic altogether. TS Support, you should have just stopped while you were ahead.

Buyers remorse. Its a biyach...

In your initial post, you mentioned that you would not be auto trading. Therefore I assumed that you would be discretionary trading, or at least "hands on". Given those conditions, you would be looking at extremely delayed data since the data you are looking at is actually a delayed screen...

Sounds like maintenance to the signup application. Try again tomorrow. Opentick is upgrading its network infrastructure and temporarily cannot accept new users. Existing users should not experience any interruption of service. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience and look forward to...

^ You are right! Well, I dont know about your ISP, but my ISP is a vacuum. That is to say, they really suck. :p

Curious. Why do you want to pay to have a workstation closer to the exchange? I hope you don't think that by having a remote workstation closer to the exchange is going to give you some type of latency advantage over using a local workstation. You still need to hop data from your remote...

Since you use TradeStation, why don't you use RadarScreen?

Buffetts fine if you like to pay attention to fundamentals. His theory holds up true (buy good companies when they are a bargain, duh.) Stay away from Cramer, unless its for entertainment. Check out Alex Elder Traiding for a living (All his books are pretty much the same recycled content)...

Traditional schooling is overrated IMO. That said, having an MBA from a credible university does look nice on a resume. The best traders (and other professionals) that I know are self-starters that taught themselves from reading books, and actual experience, not from sitting in a classroom...
