I have been coming to this site for 2+ years now. And have found the information on this site priceless. To be honest, in the last year or so, the discussions have changed more from trading and what it's all about to IB and why my order takes 3 secs to cancel. I see no problem on getting...

Good day, Is there a place were I can go and input an Index and get a list of the components(securities) that make up that index. Thanks yk

Good day, I was wondering if someone could point me out a resource that will give me the correlation between a stock and an index, stock and a stock, or vice versa. There was an application on this board that someone uploaded, but it doesnt seem to be working. Thanks...

dem, I used Metastock/Reuters as part of there EOD data subscription package. So I'm not sure if you can download data to your hard drive, but I think you can. You will want to contact equis or Reuters about that. Although, since the data is data-on-demand, I'm not sure why you would...

Dem, I have used Metastock w/ Reuters Datalink. The data was pretty good, and you could receive the eod data pretty much right after market close. Some data feeds make you wait till 6-7 pm for clean eod. Its also data-on-demand, so just type in symbol and there you go. No loading data...

I would not say XP is bad, I previewed the software for a few weeks. Overall its ok. But to be on the safe side, I would wait for a 'must install' service pack to be released before moving on to XP. By then the service pack should resolve most of the OS's issues. yk

I completely agree! yk

Hello, RT = Realtick? In Realtick, setup your chart as you like it and then add it to your favorites list, and in the favorite dialog box set chart as default. This should set that chart setup as default and every time you launch a chart that is what you should get. I hope this works...

Shorty, Possibly. I do see specific formations on both stocks. VVI, I see your triangle, but I think a rising wedge seems more appropriate. CMNT, I see a rounding bottom. But I think you rushed into these trades. We all do this from time to time. Confirmation, of your analysis...

Nicodemus makes a good point. Its right on. But I will share with you... If your unsure of direction you could always take on an opposite position in order to lock in all if not most of your already gained profits. This way moves in either direction will some what cancel each other out and...

Wet, I actually do exactly what your taking about using candlestick patterns and S/R levels. I started out basically for the same reasons you are thinking about this. I had limited capital but I wanted to trade as many equities/markets I could. Its a good idea, in a way, but there are...

Reading that, I would think those numbers (50, 48 , 56) are calculated based on his money management rules. So if he had more or less capital I believe those numbers would change with the amount of capital he has to trade. --yk

Ktm, I read JMcGraw's post on Rtharp. It's very interesting... I'm unsure, but I believe those numbers are derived from his risk/reward ratio which he trades by, which is 1/3 (preffered) or 1/2.5 which he would also accept, these are according to his notes... So I believe that is...

Good day, I recently subcribed to MSFT's XP RC1. And to be honest, I don't see any real system differences. It is however much prettier, if you like that kind of look, but it comes at a price. The new GUI will make application launches and technically the whole system slower. The GUI is way...

Hello, Has anyone traded options on IB? How is the rate of execution for options contracts? Thanks, yk

Good day, The appian is not really for gaming, but it can keep up quite well. But if your a frequent game player you may want to get another card to accomodate your game play. Now days mulitple graphics cards can be installed in a machine and provide you with great game play and great...

Are you talking about Tradestation Pro? I can't help you there. Don't use Tradestation Pro. But, if you need help with Tradestation 2000i, I may be able to help. yk

What's the problem? yk

Thanks rtharp and zboy2854A. yk

Good day, I have a question about options. I am just starting to learn options and a little confused about something, so this question may seem a little lame, I do apologize. Now in a straight call or put transaction, your risk is only limited to the amount paid for the contracts you...
