No, it doesn't. Some Mac's have better specs than some PC's. Some PC's have better specs than some Mac's. It all depends on the hardware. I can guarantee you that I can build a faster PC for half the price of any Mac. Sorry, I can get into a crusader like frenzy when discussing Mac vs PC...

Because Macs suck. No, seriously. They are way overpriced. The EULA is ten times as restrictive as MSFT's. There's absolutely no benefit to using a Mac other than one being driven by marketing hype. And as you have pointed out, there's no software. And the software it does have gets...

I have 100s of watchlist and I need to clean them up because I can't find anything. Going through them 1 by 1 going to the menu>delete>list>whatever then confirming is too annoying. Are they located in Windows' file system somewhere? If so, where? It has to save them somewhere.

Is there a beginners guide to backtesting in Excel? I don't care if it's a book that I have to actually purchase. Thanks.

Thanks, I can't seem to connect to bigchart.com but I'll try again tomorrow. Well. my time frame is intraday. Can you do that with yahoo finance? I remember there was some way of downloading data from there but I forgot. All I see there is a table of daily/weekly/etc data. But that would...

What's the cheapest backtesting software out there? The best I have found is Tradestation, since all you need to do is fund an account. I'm just thinking there might be an application I have overlooked. Thanks.

Yea, that's too much risk for me. It's too bad you can't still trade silver on the forex market.

I realize that the answer is probably different from broker to broker, but in general, what is considered the smallest amount of money(USD$) needed to trade silver? For example, in forex you need at least 50$ in an account to trade one micro-lot. Granted, you're not going to be making much...

Hmm...I don't mean bar construction. I meant, like in the watchlist, there's a column called, "% Change." The problem is that it shows the percent change from yesterdays close, but I want it to be percent change from today's open. Does that make sense? I'll check out thinkscripter.com...

Why does it show % change since last close? As opposed to % change since open? It makes no sense to me. Why would you want it % change since the last trading days close? Anyone have a clue how I would code it to show percent change since open? I tried a few times over the weekend but failed...

Does anyone have a rule dealing with earnings? Now, I'm not asking about trading earnings directly, that is on earnings day based on momentum. I hope that made sense. But it seems that the best technical setups (on a daily, weekly or even hourly) always exists around earnings time. I do not...

I'm pretty sure you're joking, but ...seriously... there actually is a high degree of correlation between physical attractiveness and high intelligence. http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-scientific-fundamentalist/201012/beautiful-people-really-are-more-intelligent
