    John Carter ?? Great Trader???

    Only $300 for the indicators and all those 5 star reviews on Amazon from people who have not reviewed any other books (could be the publisher not him personally). I have picked up the book a couple of times in bookshops but put it down again pretty quickly.

    IB Horror Story

    I think this issue was fairly comprehensively addressed by IB in another thread. 4th post and you are attacking IB? As a general principle, false name tactics on web boards just tell me to stay away from the initiating brokers as they have no ethics e.g. The posts attacking IB which seem...

    Japan stock screener http://capital.jp/search.php can deal (at 2x commish) at http://home.boom.com.hk/index.html. May be on the cards through IB. Data is an issue, Reuters Bridgestation carries all exchanges. HTH

    Japanese bull market over

    Morgan Stanley's Roach on Japan "Investors tell me that Japan is on fire. And on the surface, it certainly seems white hot -- a stock market that is up some 50% since the spring of 2005 and an economy that our Japan team believes surged by at least a 7% annual rate in the final quarter of...

    Market Profile Plus by bolter

    Not seen anything but one area where price/volume* profiles come into their own is when Taylors 3 day (AKA LSS) buy, sell sell short cycle is in evidence. Sometimes you can look at the profile and see that 'they' weren't able to liquidate/reverse their position in one day due e.g. to lack of...

    Intraday historical data for Asia markets

    No single easy source of intraday data. Tick data vendors have expensive historical, Yahoo or Phillip securities for some EoD For some equities + futures Nextview, Quotepower, For all Reuters Bridgestation (+ BBG Reut 3000, S&P Comstock) eSignal covers many but my experiemce was of...

    Desktop on the floor

    I've yet to find a way of protecting the master bedroom ceiling monitors from a bath on the floor above overflowing. Similarly, I have yet to find a good way of protecting the balcony monitors in a way that they can be left on during tropical rainstorms and be crystal clear.

    Interactive Data to Acquire Lycos Inc.’s Quote.com

    If US + non US data is needed Reuters Bridgesation/Metastock Quotecenter appears to be a reasonably priced and probably reliable feed. My experience of eSignal was that it was neither. Seems to carry Reuters FX feed. Adaptors (from Itservice) for getting the data into Metastock and TS2000i...

    Desktop on the floor

    You can clean any gunk off LCD's screens by taking them down to your local truck garage and asking them to steam clean them. On a more serious note, I put my case on two 1 1/2 inch woooden blocks as a protection against someone leaving the bath to overflow somewhere and to ensure airflow.

    George Angell..?

    Angell is worth reading. He was on the floor so the focus is more on levels and elasticity. LSS is an adaption of Taylors book method. I ploughed tortuously through Taylors "The Taylor Trading Technique' several times and would reccomend you do the same if you are interested in LSS (legal pdf of...

    Twin monitor problem

    As I understand it yes, but bear in mind G200 is not supported anymore by Matrox and is analog only, not DVI, but can be picked up for $200 vs $600 for G450. Not a user, just looked at options recently.

    IB backfill

    Still having problems. Metaserver returns no 'day' data and over on Sierra board people are reporting similar problems with 'no data' or' server should be available but is not'. I can get 'day' data for EUR but not SPI. Seems to me some changes have been made by IB and this is affecting the...

    Interactive Data to Acquire Lycos Inc.’s Quote.com

    Absolutely right, there is no middle market. BBG/Reuters/CQG is at core about serving a finite number of LT customers and is about reliability and backup servers as much as it is about features. Retail is all about serving a high turnover client base and having the right indicators and...
