he is a President in the finance world. If the last few years have taught us anything - why should we expect him to know what is going on in his business? :)

most likely. Best bet is to test live with 1 contract. you might need to give people more info on what platform you are testing on and maybe more details of what you are trying to do and others might be able to help.

famous last words uttered together. Thanks for the laugh :)

thanks I understand that, I was just wondering about the maths in terms of separating out each number, and simply assigning the payout per slot, + the payout per colour or combining them as per number, and colour .......not the odds of them actually coming up on a spin....I guess in this case...

As a math probability question - does that just make the odds of R-16, R14 .....37-1 v 36-1 or does this seriously change the whole situation and you really should have to calculate for the two scenarios separately? Red/Black, or Red + R-16 or R-14

damm - forgot to post it.....you will have to wait until next year. (Taking one out of the manual of Satans helper)

I had problems a few weeks ago - lasted about 3 days, but i think I put it down to the internet connection. Since then it has been ok....so no problems with TWS.

I already have only I asked them to shade the sun.....your way makes more sense.

sun reflecting off neighboring building - sunglasses required inside for 30mins.

agree - its more likely to see if you are sensible and have an idea about sizing. However I have seen it before where the employers want someone who is a gambler - then they simply control what they gamble in....but they need folks to have a go at things and not be timid when the odds are...

Thats one of the ways slot machines suck you in.....folks get almost the same rush from getting 'close' as winning. The idea that next time will be different and better. It makes you wonder if 'pessimists' (otherwise known as pragmatic realists) make better traders, regardless of IQ or...

When I discover the holy grail to trading (tomorrow - hint hint) I will reveal it to the world.

Regardless of all the reasons - its just human nature. There are so many cultural differences around the world regards gift giving and receiving - formally and informally- this just keeps it arms length and as a straight forward commercial transaction everyone can understand. There are also...

maybe because some people think something is worthless when its free, but if you give it a small value it is suddenly worth more even if the material is the same. The person helping others might simply be eliminating the issues of gratitude, guilt etc by applying a charge - not based on its...

Berkshire Hathaway did not start and stay as a single product company, and if ZB were buying non-tech companies that he didnt understand you might be right. Zb might be overpaying - but then so are all the folks who bought Facebook shares right ? :) ..... He might also simply be trying to...
