Just out of curiosity, how many "gloom and doom" predictions by Economists over the past 50 or so years have actually panned out? If they have a good accuracy rate, then I might start putting away a few things for the bad time ahead. DS

Trend, I'm interested in hearing how you determine that "smart money is unloading profits and shorting into strength." Do you use an indicator and if so, will you share it with us? DS

No I have not upgraded yet. I tend to wait until they tell us the version I'm using will no longer work and I've gotten a couple of warnings from TS. I've had some really traumatic experiences upgrading. The last upgrade took me about a day, including 90+ minutes on hold with TS tech...

8.0 is in rollout. It is still early in the process. DS

30+ minutes seem to be the norm. My last encounter with TS tech support was 90+minutes on hold, over an hour talking to them trying to get the latest upgrade installed. After trying to get it to work without success, they gave up saying there was nothing else they could do to help. I then...

Koros, TS is up to 8.0 now and it may be worth checking out. I'm not sure what you are looking for. It does have some linking and keyboard shortcuts and a macro language. DS

There is a good discussion on this topic over at Tradestation World, for those who have access, the link is: http://www.tradestationworld.com/discussions/Topic.aspx?TOPIC_ID=23488 DS

new to zoo, any special reason for your market call? Is it based on some tech indicator? DS

It is hard to check out TS. Its advertising claims: " Extensive short-sale inventory for Equities " It gets many awards from TASC, that are supposed to be voted on by readers. It is alos very difficult to see TS's list of HB stocks. One user had to manually scan a list of 1067 stocks...

Tech0I thought it stood for "mistake edition." Agree with all who said don't upgrade, but do a clean install. DS

Today's inspiration from the Bible: "Christians who are slaves should give their masters full respect so that the name of God and his teaching will not be shamed. If your master is a Christian, that is no excuse for being disrespectful. You should work all the harder because you are helping...

This is a good example of Tradestation, IMO, they make a decent software package but still lack greatly in customer service, but they don't lack in their ability to market it. DS

Back in the mid 70s after a couple of very cold winters, the "experts" were predicting the next ice age would soon be upon us. Any way, Malthus beat him to this prediction of food shortages, although for a different reason, by about 150 years. DS

mgkrebs-Is your wife on your ass about it too? :) DS

As a note to anyone who might be interested: a. It does not come with the big ugly box as abogdan noted, and I have no idea what I did with it. b. The offer is good til Friday , when I place it in front of my house for BFI to deal with as they see fit. DS

I have a 1 meter sat. dish that I used for mkt data before the internet. I'll give it to anyone willing to come get it. I live in Houston, Tx. DS

I like to look at the Optimum F for systems: The 33% win system has a F = 0.107 while the 66% systme has F = 0.48, based on this the 66% system is much better. Of course, other factors need to be looked at such as how many total trades (the more the better) and how much variation occurs. I...

FILE-->Preferences-->Tradestation Network, and then you should see a list of servers. Move a new one to the top of the order, go offline and then back online, and you should be on the server you put at the top of the list. DS

Yes, 1131est was getting goofy bid/ask last trades on the order entry bar, switched servers and it was OK. DS

I programmed this idea in Tradestation using the Dow and ran it. The Trin data I have only goes back to 5/99. Results in the .xls file. A one day hold shows that 70% of the time the next day was an up day (7/10) DS
