1. Basic, when I was a kid. My first one I worked with was C++. 2. At the moment Java, since I've been doing it for 5 years. Mostly for web applications, although recently I've been getting into Swing. I'm also pretty good at C++. I've done some C#, Pascal at the university, and now and when...

that doesn't make you less good, unless you measure how good you are based on how much you make

who asked you anything? go away! :) By the way: Java and C++ run great with Windows

I can't really argue about the specific case, but in general I would say you are right. All the Visual Basic stuff is good for not too complex code, so at the end the point is always the same: what do we want exactly? I had the impression that the OP was not looking about anything complex, but...

wait a second. You have quite some experience, don't you? And you don't consider yourself really good in at least one strategy? Wow

Guys, the poster just needs some language to backtest, and he wants to do Visual Basic because it's often asked. Any language is good when it's used in the right way. If he wants to use Visual Basic for some tests let him use Visual Basic. I can't believe I said that :)

appreciate it. Thanks. That's why I'm taking it easy. I'm not going to jump into that pool if I'm not knowing what I'm doing. I'm also realizing all the things you have to look at, basically what you mentioned, although I have never been into support and resistance, and I'm not using level II...

2manywhiners, that was a cool one. Thank you for posting Still, if you look at what you say about Mickey Mouse, you will notice that you expose a knowledge of the behavior of the market that implies that you have spent quite some time looking at it. You don't go into more details when you...

well, there are spammers who post to spam of course, but this guy is posting because he wants help to spam. I find it quite entertaining

You need a software to break captchas and mass post? I have never seen a spammer posting on a trading board. Dude, I honestly think it's better if you give your "advertising" up. You are not really starting in the best way. Besides, captchas can't be broken. oh, by the way: I'm not sure if...

I don't think there are many questions that should be sticky, so I would say one thread per question, like several forums do.

I agree, a lot of people are quite rude. But there is not much we can do, I'm afraid. I guess mods should be a bit stricter sometimes.

If you want a C++ forum maybe it's better if you don't look for something related to trading. If you have your trading knowledge and you know what you want from your code it doesn't matter where your C++ knowledge comes from. Otherwise you can look at wilmott.com. It's mostly for quants, but...

I still think that wishy washy before making a decision doesn't automatically imply wishy washy after making a decision. Guys, many thanks to everyone. Looks like maybe it's not yet the case for me to think about it seriously. I'll go on with my usual things, maybe start contracting, which...

Bittorrent for bigger files. Azureus is a good BT client. eMule for smaller files like single mp3s.

Good points. On the other side, I think I have some good points too. I'm not staying with my parents, so I think it's normal that I'm a bit more cautious. And I don't have an experience at Morgan Stanley like you do. But all these things prevent me from starting, not from being determined if I...

I am. As I said in my firt post, I know I need leverage.

35, single, no kids. My biggest problem is my mortgage.

no, this is not going to happen. I don't intend to blow my savings. I don't think it will be a problem to find another job, but I have a mortgage and I would like to pay it. Losing my house wouldn't be a good thing

yes, I tend to be quite discretionary. Trading stocks I feel I'm missing something if I go automatic. But it's not a huge problem. It's just a few trades per day; I just need the time to look a bit at the news and the fundamentals. Besides, living in Europe, part of it is done in the evening.
