Hi . I have an Excel sheet which fetched data using DDE from a charting program. I also have a vb.net program which takes these values and assigns them to an array in VB. The problem is in my timer. Occasionally, I get this message. first chance exception of type...

SideshowBob , do you mean take the .net variable (i.e. x.ticker, x.last,etc) and commit it to an Access database then extract it back to vb.net using datagrid? Interesting angle... Thanks

I was under the impression that the datagrid control is solely used for linking onto a recordset in Access,etc. I have 3 books in vb.6 and .net and the examples in all 3 of the use of datagrid is in displaying Access records. For example if I have a structure called x holding ff values...

HI. I moved my system from vb.6 to vb.net and am having problems displaying data in grid format .I used flexgrid in vb6 and was able to load it in .net but am encountering overflow errors. I have an array with 10 fields such as ticker/last/hi/lo/position and would like to disply it in an excel...

That is what I failed to do this exp cycle, failed to do any offensive action which is call roll down and did too much defensive put rolldown. Live and learn

IV is picking up-that is precisely the reason why you might want to go light on the premium selling. Vol trends are somewhat persistent. If anything this might be the time to be long juice. Noticed the SP ranges adn volume lately? I think Mav touched on this before, moving strikes might not...

Thanks for the heads up. I guess I have a lot more C++ related reading to do for I have no clue what constructor,destructor are. Sounds like Japanese robot cartoons.. LOL Can you explain to me though why the program loads, and works for 2 minutes then appends? i.e. retrieves level 1 quotes...

Hi. Could anyone here versed in VB.net help me out? I moved my project from vb6 to .net and can't solve this bug. I attached this vb system to the Genesis API and after starting the program and getting it to retrieve level 1 quotes for about 1.5 mintues, it then aborts and gives me this...

its all about how u want to get paid. Credit spreads 2 steps forward, occasionally 10 steps back . Vice versa for long juice strategies. Problem with first is if you get whacked on your 3rd month after starting vs the 30th month-you won't have that cushion to tide you over. Condors have poor...

I can't believe how quickly this thing has snowballed. One day ago, people were talking how overdone this selloff was much like TYC or AIG, MMC. Now it is possibly going to be delisted. All the past scandals pale in comparison to the velocity of this unravelling!

xx, What I mean is that XL might have a list of 20 tickers and when I press an XL button, it would fire off 100 shares of all the 20 tickers at the same time at a limit price I specify,etc. IOW, instead of loading 20 tickers in a level 2 in Tspeed one at a time, 1 button in XL is needed to...

Another reason why the old style capitulation is not as common nowadays (unless there is a really huge event ) is that the structure of mkt execution might have changed from huge volumes of stock bought and sold by $2 brokers on the floor or MM at NAz where now they are "disseminated" more...

what do you suggest?

Other than Echo, are there other firms out there using Sterling?

Any Tradspeed users here know if you can fire off orders into Tradespeed using Vb/Excel? Thanks

If the debt was all paid why would they have to restate earnings past qtrs. accdg to CNBC? Would it be just a timing issue of the earnings then-where the gains last qtrs would be losses but gains present day would be more? Hope fully a non-event but things like these can cause "bank runs" that...

Problem with using cal as hedges is that u have to protect both sides of your sold verticals which means u have to load up on a LOT of vega. The expected return might be better on paper BUT by the time u factor in the legs, commission,vig you are probably better off defending your core pos. not...

Great post SDLI. I do have a question about your advise though. You said to find a group of traders that are consistently making 2k/day on 100k shares making 2 to 4 cents per share. In another paragraph, you said to not fight for pennies go for momentum and dollars.Is that not a contradiction...

Does cbd offer any other alternatives other than tradespeed? I agree with you about your T/Speed review. They were on the ropes 2-3 months back and with the Merill Pax merger I can't imagine them resolving issues for a while.

Your are correct . I mispoke. What I meant was since you are worried about protecting the sold vertical, it might be simpler to buy 1 single call or put to protect the bad side. Cottle calls it a slingshot, some call it pregnant fly. So if u were in trouble on the put side you'd buy an ATM put...
