    A Free Strategy that works

    So this guy was last seen 25 March 2016 and made a total of 16 posts and only one on this thread... so I guess it has gone far beyond just answering the OP. Anybody who after a bit of study can't figure out at least one or two strategies that can work, on his own, probably shouldn't be trading...

    Tell me why I can't grow my account to $1M in 12 years

    I just did a little pythoning and here is what I came up with. If you can return, after taxes and other expenses, 0.1% per day profit on what initially is a $30k account, and leave it in there to compound, after 10 years of trading every single trading day which I think is 250 days or near that...

    How Do I Display VWAP on Charts in TWS?

    Not really what I am looking for. I have tried that already. Its not the same thing.

    Tell me why averaging down is a bad idea .

    If I understand your post correctly, I would be very cautious with this approach. I am assuming you mean the stock is down near support or a moving support and "nowhere to go but up". You expect it to regress toward the mean and possibly climb above it to a resistance, so you bet out with a long...

    Is trading Gambling or not .."What say You" Vote here.

    Are you saying that poker is not gambling? If you can prove that poker is not gambling, then I will concede that trading is not gambling. However I believe the law in every state of the U.S. most definitely and clearly categorizes poker as gambling. The IRS as well. The various gaming...

    I didn't start playing hold em until it got too hard to find a stud game. 30 or 40 years ago stud was still king. And then I quickly gravitated to the limit games. I like the game, like the action and the pace, like how easy it is to read the table and the players. The only time I eagerly enter...

    I have never been all in. If I don't have enough to properly play the game with what I budgeted for the game, I am done. Doesn't matter if it is 7 Stud, Hold 'Em, or kitchen table 5 card draw with dueces jokers and one eye jacks wild and dealer antes twice if he's not Jacks or better and can't...

    Winning $20 M Won't Make You Happy

    Money might not buy you happiness. But it can sure as hell rent it. Seriously I would be pretty darn happy with $20M. I am already kinda happy but I could be a little bit happier. I am 60 and I figure I probably won't live much past 90. I would spend $500k fixing up my boat, $2M on a house with...

    Is trading Gambling or not .."What say You" Vote here.

    Call it what you like. But yeah it is gambling. Not gambling like slots or roulette or keno or craps or baccarat. Gambling like poker or maybe blackjack. Here is my justification. Not all gambling is 100% chance. Some games have a skill element. If you watch poker tournaments on TV, at every...

    Satellite Internet New Speeds, Really?

    Radio cannot travel faster than the speed of light. You will always have a minimum of 1/4 second or so (actually about 240 ms) time required just to hit the satellite and receive the return signal on Earth. You can calculate this. If you are a real man, the speed of light is 670,616,629 mph and...

    Who trades on satellite? Is the lag too bad?

    Of course you can. Have you tried? And no, I don't mean over DirecTV, either. I am a seaman, or was one until I retired a couple weeks ago, and my internet and phone were via satellite, generally InMarSat, sometimes Iridium, ever since it became available. You have between 3/4 second and a...

    For Glory Of My People

    BTW, the honorific "Dear Leader" sounds kinda woosy compared to "Fearless Leader", the tyrant of Pottsylvania. And he doesn't sport such a ridiculous haircut.

    Just as I thought. You DO have to go to the bathroom just like anyone else. I THOUGHT those stories were all a bunch of BS.

    Computer won't start up all of a sudden...

    Didn't realize. Thanks for bringing it to my attention but you didn't have to bite my head off. I will put the guy on ignore. And you, too.

    Computer won't start up all of a sudden...

    Sounds like a power issue to me too, regardless of what lights are lit. How many HDD/SSD are you running? Optical drive? Bluetooth or WiFi? shut down or remove anything you don't need, and try again. Oh, if you are running WinDOHs you might have problems with that, though. Your copy might think...

    strategy or tips

    Did you research it? Or are you just waiting for an answer that you like better than the ones very busy people have already given you? Amazon has a LOT of books on trading. If you won't even spend $100 on a few lousy books, how the hell do you expect to learn to trade or invest? Look, who is...

    How it works?

    Writing code to recognize common manually traded patterns can be quite involved. The way humans sometimes process visual cues involves learning that currently, desktop computers have a hard time with. If you just want to automate a simple mean regression strategy that would be relatively easy...
