If you really have "the gift", what's preventing you from accumulating a kabillion dollars and turning the world into utopia all by your lonesome? Seems like you are kicking the starving African children by trying to dangle it in front of the rest of the unwashed masses.

Looks like the "Jowl"-y giant on the left doesn't feel that austerity measures apply when it comes to partaking of that 6th gyro.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe futures are reported as a single gain/loss using the IRS form 1256, which you'll get from your broker. You don't need to track individual trades for cost/basis, etc (I'm not sure if options on futures are the same as I am not familiar with them).

He also yells alot. People love "Yell"-TV.

I did a quick search on the TradeLink website, but since I knowTradeLink monitors ET, so I thought it'd be quicker just to wait for an answer directly. Anyway, questions: 1) Does TradeLink support Renko charts? If so, does it support creation from non-"tick" historical data (i.e: second...

Many places can do what FoxConn does, but people build in China because it's cheap. Obviously you can build in the US, but it's expensive. Other places in Asia also have good electronics infrastructures (Korea, etc) as well as closer to home (Mexico). I'm sure manufacturers would bend over...

...and then using it...

It might save a grand or two, depending on which bracket we fall in to this year. We could drop 8-10% in effective tax levels if one income goes away for the full year. It's not a huge conversion, but it seems stupid to throw away hundreds of dollars for a little bit of paperwork. At first...

I converted a traditional IRA to a Roth in 2011 but the conversion is pushing me into the next tax bracket. There's a good chance our income will drop by a fair amount during this year, so it appears to make a good case to undo the conversion and reconvert it next year. However, I have also...

Sometimes it's hit or miss, but I found this particular instance to be very good. It's nicely documented and organized (both the code and the wiki). In fact, even if you are intending to roll a charting package yourself, it would be worth a look to see how he's laid things out. I don't know if...

If you don't want to take the time to roll your own charting control, you may want to check out Zedgraph. It's an open-source, c# control and it's pretty slick. It's not WPF, but you can host it in a WPF application. Worth a look, since a charting packing is quite a bit of effort to develop...

Well, it's not actually part of TWS (not in the menus I looked at, anyway). It's found under "report management->Stress Test" when you access your account on the web (or jump to the web from within TWS). It allows you to see how your portfolio performs for various percentage moves up & down...

Have you tried sending a message to "api@interactivebrokers.com?" Typically they will get back to you in a few days. You need to be very specific in your question, though as they tend to be quite literal. Also, do you get the same response when you connect to the demo account? Are you...

What sort of time-frame are you looking at for this trade: day, swing, or longer term?

Why do you have such a hard-on for this guy? The last time I checked, this is a free web-site, so people can post whatever the hell they like: good, bad, ludicrous, or what-have-you. I'm also not sure why you've given him the moniker: "#1 poster."

Check yo fo-matting of yo posts, G-money! Damn, they be in-de-legible! Respect.

I don't know how you can consider naked calls ahead of earnings a "safe" play? Normally I'd just say cover and take your lumps, but earnings have come and gone so an upside gap probably won't materialize. That doesn't mean AAPL can't zing past your short strikes, though. Possibilities to...

I'm assuming you are referring to longer term trends? In my opinion, short ones have the potential to be more lucrative because: 1) Periods of fear/anxiety seem to have more intensity than periods of euphoria (with the 99 dotcom explosion a possible exception). 2) Most people (funds, etc)...

Could be a NinjaTrader window but I don't really know what you can tell from the video other than he goes short after breaking support. His website should give you that creeping feeling that something ain't kosher (as does any website where you get a popup window asking if you want to navigate...

Was he an orangutan or a chimpanzee? I forget.
