    Automating RSI tradng

    This would be easy enough to do if you were a programmer, but I don't know of a cheap or free service that would do it for you and send the trades to IB. I take it you are monitoring signals and you would enter the trade based on an intraday calc of RSI, and other signals? If you didn't...

    Niederhoffer & REFCO

    I believe you risk. It's either VN, or someone trying to impersonate him. But his posts may just show a wry sense of humor that can be seen in his books and columns. Eye of the beholder I s'pose. Why not just post as VN? Hell, if I was a famous author and trader I'd... No matter. It's...

    Writing Covered Calls Again

    IMHO Cov Calls use too much capital and can expose you to too much risk. They have their place but not as a "starting strategy", but one you may end up legged into. For example, I write calls on stocks only when I want to sell the stocks after I have a profit on the stock move. But then...

    What company manufactures Placebo?

    Placebo is from the same producer as unobtainium. They also run a software company making vaporware. They have a marine company that makes prop wash. Their defense electronics division makes doppler grease for radars... :p

    Anybody using thinkorswim? Did you get a monkey?

    IB is all you need. Your "one stop shop" for traders. Kinda like a Super Walmart for the trading cognoscenti! :D And IB sent me a book a couple years ago AND they recently sent me an IB ballcap!

    best trading books ever

    Also agree. And just so everybody knows, this is NOT the Gary Smith of Real Money and Fox TV. This Gary really trades. He put his account and trades out there for all to see. Who else has done that? He also will say that most of his old methods don't work for him anymore. Another...

    broadband satellite and IB

    I've been using DirecWay satellite for trading with IB for years. It works, but the reliability is not great. At least compared to almost any other ISP. A lot of it is DirecWay. Another choice coming on line is Wild Blue. It might be more reliable, but it's fairly new and not everywhere...
