order.LmtPrice is a dataype of "double". This means you need to provide a number, ie an actual price. I STRONGLY encourage you to stop what you are doing, and take a couple weeks to at least learn the basics of the language you are coding in. One error will cost you thousands of dollars and...

It might be Vista. Have you tried it on an XP machine? I use only XP for trading.

Post this in C1 and then copy it down column C. =IF(ISERROR(MATCH(B1,A$1:A$1000,0)),"","y")

Give it a rest already man. Tim had a booth at the Las Vegas Traders Expo. That pretty much says it all. His rankings on snakeoil.com don't mean jack. On a more pleasant note, it was good meeting everyone and a great weekend overall. And as mentioned the expo was even lamer this year. I...

I'll cut you some slack. Let's change your question slightly. Let's say the stock constantly trades at cash value and has a dividend. So each time the stock goes ex-dividend the price would drop by the amount of the dividend. But between that time and the next dividend date the price would...

I think anyone who has banked 500K but couldn't manage to find 25K to remove a serious trading handicap is up to their eyeballs in BS. And even worse, if he's such a great trader, what does it say that he's willing to sell DVD's to beginner traders for strategies he isn't willing to risk...

He banked 500K but couldn't seem to find 25K to get around the PDT rule. Yep, makes sense to me. Please go away.

If he makes 50K plus/month why did he just admit on his site that he only has 26K in his trading account? …without leverage, without trading every day and stuck below the pattern day trader rule for 9 months, my 26k is fine…wait til next year, and the year after and the year after…...

This is an excellent suggestion. I have in fact done this in the past (as the programmer). As long as the edge has room for 2 or some agreement to not step on each other this can be a win-win.

I've been having general quote hangups at the platform level lately, usually for just a few symbols. This has been making my programs complain to me. But it doesn't sound like what you're seeing. Also I connect to servers at Echo, not Sterling.

How does one "lose the money you would have spent on education" when paper trading? Can you fill us in on how your live trading is going? Sorry to be nosy, but if feel you got your money's worth from them what kind of profits does that mean? Are you able to make a living from your trading...

Easylanguage isn't a standalone language it's a way to customize TradeStation's platform. Much like EFS is to Esignal. You need one of the languages you mentioned above. The tradeoff is the easier the language the less "powerful" it is. However, as a total beginner you have no idea how to...

So be careful what you post on the PnL thread, the man is going to get you for his fair share!

If you made as much money from trading as you act like you do your average tax rate would be higher than the AMT and it wouldn't be issue. You sound like "Joe the Trader", incensed at the taxes on his imaginary trading gains.

As abhorrent as government based insurance might sound, I find the idea of a private entity who profits by denying me service and raises my rates when I get sick even worse. There are plenty of models of successful government based health plans out there if you look past the fear-mongering...

It sounds to me like you don't want to hear what people are telling you. It's like after every negative response you ask for more responses hoping you finally get a positive response so that you can sign up. The data you've received so far should have been more than enough to make you RUN, not...

Automation doesn't mean you have to trade a lot of volume. It could mean that you are watching lots and lots of stocks and just picking out a few high probablility trades. Having said that, I think automation typically enables you to do 1M+ shrs/month, often quite a bit more than that. In the...

I've talked to centauris. They are probably out of your price range. It was a solid 4 figures for a very basic automated program. They sound like a good outfit, but probably to advanced (ie expensive) for a basic program like it sounds like you want. And don't forget that it will cost you again...

As I think you're finding out, what you pay and what you get from Sterling have no relation with each other.
