    finance based economy

    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

    Is tradestation suited for "hardcode" daytrading ?

    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...

    On Hold For 30 Minutes With Ts

    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

    Reasons I'm Quitting Trade Station After Only 3 Weeks

    Christians Only Please!!!

    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...

    Analyst Predicts Massive Grain Shortage in Two Years

    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

    Which would you rather trade

    TradeStation problems?

    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

    TRIN Trivia

    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
