The banks in Canada have always gouged people when exchanging currencies. I've heard that currency exchange is the biggest money maker for banks in Canada. I'm surprised that the banks in Europe didn't put up more resistance against a single currency. They must have made a fortune in the old...

10-15 pips sounds a lot better. If my calculations are correct, 2 1/2 percent that I pay at the bank is 250 pips.

Would it make sense to use your trading account as an inexpensive way to exchange currencies for personal use? For example, I'm Canadian and most of the money I earn is in Canadian dollars. A lot of my expenses are in American dollars. Anywhere I go to purchase American dollars charges me...

Don't worry so much, with global warming, every property in Miami will soon have a turn at becoming ocean front property. Just like I always wanted to move south when I retire, I don't have to, the south is already moving up here.

They're not treating their buyers too well either. Yes, I've found a few better deals on Ebay and saved a few dollars. But the money I've lost on fraudulent transactions has been more than the money I've saved. Ebay's reactions to any fraud complaints is absolutely pathetic. I wish they would...

I used to always feel compelled to buy North American to support our industry at home. After seeing these numbers I don't quite feel the same anymore.

This is a nice little freeware program that might do the job for you: http://www.download25.com/systray-timer-download.html

If I had a trading idea that I knew actually worked and could be programmed in Tradestation, I would try to make a deal with another trader who is also a good programmer. I would tell them, they can share the idea if they'll program it for free. Any programmer, paid or unpaid, is going to have...

Quote from TorontoTrader2: Interesting. You would think that people who have to pay for their own health care would actuallly take care of their own health. But we see reports that claim the majority of americans are obese - a society built around fast food and sugar and caffeine? Surely they...

In order to get to the point of making $200 to $400 a day or anything positive, it will take a lot of effort. My first guess would be if you put half of that effort into making your existing business work you would be better off. If I had a choice between the two challenges, how to make...

I have an old copy of Tradestation 2000i but I need a 2003 password for it. Does anyone have any idea how I could purchase or obtain one?

Why don't you ask Nick himself, he's on the bulletin board here and I'm reasonably sure it's the real Nick Barings: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=25104

In Canada our mortgages are not tax deductible. I always envied our American neighbors with deductible mortgages. However, now I question the value of the American policy. What I see is that housing prices become inflated because of the mortgage deduction. In Canada there are some high...

Do you have Interactive Brokers data? You can connect that data to Microsoft Excel. If you're a Math Wiz, it would be possible to make an alert for wide range bars.

My daughter in highschool has to do a math project about probabilities. I told her that a good subject would be how probabilities are used in trading. Could anyone point to a good web site that she could reference where it shows a simple trading method with probability statistics and how...

Tried it for a bit, didn't like it and uninstalled it. I like to keep all the toolbars and such to a minimum to give more screen space. The tabbed browsing just takes up more of that space and I couldn't find a way to turn it off. What is so great about tabbed browsing anyway? Hasn't that always...

I used to love Dell myself, the computer I got from them last year for just a few hundred dollars was great. However the latest one I bought had nowhere near the quality I expected. I gave it to my kids instead of one of my old computers I had planned to give them.

I use "Automate" to start IB and Sierrachart every morning and record the data. Sierrachart has a playback feature with it. Automate is available here: http://www.networkautomation.com/automate/index.htm?redirfrom=unisyn& Sierrachart is available here: http://www.sierrachart.com
