Swandro, I think you’re absolutely right. My VBA is basic and I keep delaying investing in a decent book (John Walkenbach's Excel 2003 Power Programming with VBA seems highly regarded – the 2007 version is only a few pages difference). I’ve done the calcs now but will need to...

Trademomentum, Thank you for your reply. “all the multithreaded stuff applies only to the Excel formulas, so there may be some (considerable?) performance improvements in the sheet calculations. So what?!” This is perhaps the crux. I’m trying to analyse time series data and have...

Anyone use(d) Excel 2007? How does it compare with previous versions? Specifically, how does it perform - improved? It's reckoned to utilise the capabilities of dual processors and hence more efficient. But how is this manifest? Tried the trial version but it didn't work (and caused...

SSSS, Thank you for the info. I downloaded details from Opencry and Dorman – both look pretty impressive. Which do you use, and which of their platforms do you use? Grant.

RJ, Thank you for the reply. “Very fast execution and rock solid”. I think that just about covers it, really: as I said originally, my interest is in scalping so executing multi-leg option spreads, for example isn’t necessary My only reservation is IB’s “snap shot” price...

RCJ, I am familiar with Button Trader. Do you know how it compares with the others? The problem is its limited compatability. Grant.

Any indications (detailed explanation not necessary) and comparisons re strenghs and weaknesses of: X-Trader (basic) Ninja Strategy Runner? Any experiences? Specifically, I'm looking for the best re scalping DAX, Stoxx and Bund futures. Thank you. Grant.

Spyder, “who cares” could be extended to “is it important?” My immediate thought/reaction was echoed by Pointone. I like to use the automobile analogy: does a profound knowledge of car mechanics make you a better driver? Not necessarily, but you will know the limitations of your...

Bearbelly, As in "Basis" or future discount/premium to cash? In the meantime I've done a search and this has provided leads. Grant.

Mark, As you ask, does it matter? No, it doesn't although it is an interesting subject. To restate the original question, with reference to movements on the cash DOW, which future best mimics its moves (leads or lags, doesn’t matter) – Dow, S&P or NASDAQ futures? Or perhaps as...

Spydertrader, That's less onerous. Thanks for your help. Grant.

SpyderTrader, That's it. Thank you. So that's 142 pages this thread plus 455 on the other thread. Grant.

Gentleman, I’ve spent a long time trying to find this specific thread. The only reference I had was a print-out of a table from: www.elitetrader.com/vb/attac...&postid=1321447 Can anyone provide the original location so I can read the accompanying text? Or perhaps someone could...

May I ask one of you Gentleman which e-mini future has the closest correlation to movement on the DOW cash, ie point for point? I ask because for the last month or so I've been watching the DAX and Stoxx futures. If the DOW ticks up (down) these indexes will follow 99% of the time. However...

Why are the back months trading below the spot month, eg Friday 2 Feb, 21:53 Frankfurt time: Mar 4248 Jun 4188 Sep 4212. Grant.

Plater, “the lefties where whining and then disappeared,crawling back under their stones” I think a lot of the communists, socialists, trade unionists, etc “disappeared” because they were sent to the Nazi concentration camps (with the Jews, gypsies, intellectuals, homosexuals...

Old School and Odqnut, I have copied, pasted and printed your replies. For myself (and hopefully, for Bonpara) this is so simple and obvious, yet brilliant. Why has this not been mentioned in all the books I’ve read? Your total posts demonstrate an old saying (of which I’ve always...

TJO7, Why is the UK becoming “gayer”? Grant (England).
