North Pesos, Thanks for the information about IB getting RRSPs. Does IB have the Rydex Short funds that you mentioned or how else can you trade them in Canada with your RRSP?

Has anyone been to the Financial Forum in Toronto before? http://www.financialforum.ca/toronto/ It's supposed to be this weekend. I was wondering if one could learn anything worthwhile about trading there or if it would be mostly just useless advertising hype.

Nadia Auermann.....too thin for my taste. Nadia couldn't keep me warm on these long cold Canadian Nights! She looks like a boy to me. Now someone like Anna Nicole, you certainly couldn't mistake her for a boy! :p

Thanks Cammin, we don't do Martin Luther up here in Canada.

I'm not getting any data here for my IB account. Is today a Holiday that I'm not aware of or could it be a problem with my data?

What if you moved from an area with only dial up internet access to an area with high speed access. Couldn't you use this as justification for your move?

Has anyone done some testing of Dennis Meyers multibar range breakout system published on page 42 of the January 2004 issue of Active Trader? Could they possibly post their results? His backtesting shows that it would be profitable for July of this year. I wonder if this was just a good month...

I've used macroexpress to copy data from a web page, save the data as a variable and the sound an alert if that data exceeds a set amount. From Excel you access the web as follows: select "data", then select "import external data", then select "new web query" I believe there are...

Could I ask how you were able to develop this strategy? Did you figure it out yourself or are you following a strategy that someone else has already laid out? Could you suggest a website or book about covered calls that you found particularly useful? I learned about covered calls from Woodie...

Chaos, Perhaps you may have missed my post on page 6 of this thread. There is a Financial Forum in Toronto on the weekend of Jan 22, a lot of the seminars are about trading: http://www.financialforum.ca/toronto/seminars.asp I'd like to suggest that we have a get together near the Convestion...

There is a Financial Forum in Downtown Toronto on January 22 till the 25: http://www.financialforum.ca/toronto/seminars.asp There are a lot of seminars there where they discuss technical analysis. What if we combined a get together with the convention. Perhaps we could meet for dinner and...

Neoticker has playback now. There is a chat here on Elitetrader on Dec. 11 at 4:30 about it.

You could run Autotrader with data that you save or Ensign Playback files: http://www.sling.to/autotrader/ http://www.dacharts.org/archives/Playback_Files/ You're supposed to be able to run Autotrader playback and feed it to any application that you can run from Interactive Brokers TWS API...

The attached image took less than a minute to make. I'll spend the rest of my time learning how to make money from trading. That may take a bit longer.

You should have taken here to see the submarine races by the river instead, those are a little quieter. Well.....unless she's a screamer. :p

I'm from Sarnia Ontario. Let me know if you organize any kind of a get together, I'd try my best to make it there. How about somewhere on the West side of Toronto? I think I'd enjoy the trading talk and I know I'd enjoy the beer.

You can get free real time data from Scottrade: https://www.scottrader.com/ Scottrade doesn't have futures but you can follow SPX which should run pretty close to the ES emini futures. Scottrade's data can be connected to Medved Quotetracker, the best of any free charting programs and...

I notice that there are more and more posts from Canadians here. I wonder what the possibility is of creating a forum here on Elite Trader just for Canadian concerns? I've never run into any good Canadian trading bulletin boards, does anyone know of one?

Someone told me that Canada's securities industry has very high standards compared to the Americans. He said, look, they have Enron and Martha Stewart. I replied, "that's my point exactly, our regulators aren't exposing the Enrons and Martha Stewarts as much as they should"...

Why are our securities regulators hindering large reputable companies like Interactive Brokers and Tradestation from setting up business in Canada. They're supposed to be protecting investors but from my perspective they're hindering me from learning and using Tradestation. I found here on...
