world-class flyfishing too... :cool:

Nope, SSFs are "narrow-based"...they are treated exactly the same as trading the underlying.

Somebody mentioned at the beginning of this thread that perhaps one solution to problems of this nature is for people to realize that this is typically an effort that requires some amount of training to be successful at. I guess I lean more towards free and open access to the markets, caveat...

That is fucking hysterical.

I suppose this means they are expecting a great deal of volatility in gold futures? :confused:

The java applet itself is actually running on the page with the connect button...its that grey box that surrounds the button when the page loads...the chat window is just an extra window that it creates. Java applets stop running if you navigate away from the page they are on...safety feature so...

I'm with the general sentiment expressed thus far...the chat is pretty good as it is! It's proved useful many times just to pick up on something going on that I might have missed. People in chat have been really helpful. I like the chat diverse, as it gives me a broader sense of the...

In other news: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&ncid=578&e=4&cid=578&u=/nm/20030205/ts_nm/attack_tradecenter_dc Personally, I liked this suggestion better...

It's not a zero-sum game...

I don't know nitro...I used to feel this way too, but after seeing the code that some people write I have to disagree. Even some employed programmers should not be programming, and I think it's definately not for everyone. Not unlike trading...

If cheeks is profitable, but his main problem is capitalization, wouldn't something prop like Green Tree Trading be a good choice? They have I think an 85% payout for $5k accounts, and access to 10x capital, 100% for $10k. Also, 4x overnight. cheeks, being a member of the IT/CS world...

3 2000 lot emini trades? I thought 250 was the maximum?

I used Quotetracker with Quote.com for awhile too, before they had the IB feed. It works better that way because the backfills were seamless. Couldn't stand quote.com's reliability issues though, so I moved on. I've also used it with the Etrade streaming quotes...I had both IB and...

I use quotetracker with IB as a backup chart in cases when my primary datafeed goes down. But like someone else said, you can't do backfill with IB, so unless you already had it running all day (I start it every morning first thing and just leave it minimized) you're toast. If you also use...

it's great and all, no PDT rule...but you don't get 60/40 tax treatment, even if they are futures.

Too bad Esignal's Eurex data sucks right now.

In case the upgrade doesn't work, here's what worked for me. I did not have a chance to re-verify the steps I took...so someone should give this a go and verify it. I use TWS, and I have both Java 1.4.1_01 and 1.3.1_06 installed on win2k. The key thing here is 1.4.1...the Java plug-in in...

"A radical overhaul of hedge fund regulation that would limit short-selling and leverage is being discussed within the Securities and Exchange Commission, one of the Commissioners said on Thursday."...

Linksys products are goods for home use and pretty simple to set up. The BEFW11S4 has 4 ethernet ports, 802.11b wireless, and a router/firewall, similar to my setup at home, for $100 from compusa. A wireless USB adapter for your computer like WUSB11 is $60, so $220 sounds high.

Question is, with accelerated tax cuts and lower tax revenues, how is he going to pay for them? Maybe the liberals are upset that he is getting the opportunity to look so generous without having to actually write any checks at the moment?
