    Vista is lame

    Thanks dc. Next time I decide to do a complete rebuild I'll have one extra choice to make :) (Note: it will be a rebuild of XP of course).

    Vista is lame

    Stock, No disagreement on Macs but u might want to trade in foxit yet. Remember how acrobat 4 remembered where you were in a book? And then it stopped doing it. Foxit doesn't either. Try PDF-XChange Viewer for one of the nicest pdf viewers around - and it has the old "remember" feature.

    IBS TWS - Support for Older Versions

    We did this one a month back. Hunt thru the broker threads but the conclusion was that the then latest version (898.4) + latest java (1.6.0_16) out performed the old 890.6 combination I was using. I've been running it without issue since then. The recommendation was that you download the...

    Do markets change? Trend Following.

    LOL. It won't stop the uninformed comments here. But fwiw, I too agree with the "trade the principle but adjust to the markets shifts" theory.

    Win 7 64 bit first impressions

    Win 7 is - more secure (if u need it) - a better version of vista (u want frills?) - faster than xp sometimes - has a well supported x64 option (xp's isnt really) - is prettier. So, yes, I'm running xp on all my machines except my daughters (because she likes bling).

    Win 7 64 bit first impressions

    I spend time on the board that created TinyXP and some winxp 64 variants. I'm afraid that even eXPerience has become a Win 7 fan. The upgrade process for any windows isn't tricky. You save all your data files, format the disk, repartition as required and clean install. Anything else is...

    ByLoSellHi exceeds 11K posts but no market decline

    LOL ... Good thread. We should all remember two things though: - markets can stay irrational ... - the best indicator of continuation is large number of reversal posts until the day it reverses (I'll wait :))

    The Greatest Depression Is Coming

    as was the previous one and the one before him and the one before him. When was it that you had a Prez who wasn't encouraging you to borrow to finance a consumption binge?

    Why are living standards in the western world still far ahead of emerging countries?

    Most of the argument here "that the poorer countries are doing badly in some sense or another" appears to be based on a world view that is 30 years out of date. If you want an update you might look at this ted talk which was given to the US State department in an attempt to upgrade their...

    direct statistical trading a "clearly" defined approach by NTW31

    Thats interesting Steve. It would indicate to me that the bars are being watched by enough decision makers to generate said edge.

    Turns out that the market IS out to get you

    If there was a "Credit" key here I'd be crediting FB123's post. Building the habit of stopping after an event is one of the most important in trading. If emotions affect you at all, positive or negative, you must learn to stop. Also, slowing down the trades and keeping the max number...

    How China Cooks Its Books & The Growing Risk of a Chinese Economic Implosion

    Interesting but probably largely wrong because we all write from where we are: 1. & 2. The US is currently still much better off and with a bit of belt tightening can still be much better off. Chinese gdp hasn't caught up and the people are not close to catching up. They are getting closer...

    IB TWS reacting slowly

    It is a feature of Sierra Chart (more specific that what you describe but flexible).

    How China Cooks Its Books & The Growing Risk of a Chinese Economic Implosion

    I like asiaprop too --- kind of a contrarian indicator but so funny.

    WHAT is the main reason to use interactive brokers?

    I thought I might trade a couple of kiwis + a nick for an india. Worth a shot?

    WHAT is the main reason to use interactive brokers?

    Your prerogative, right or wrong. Sounds like an engineering degree.

    WHAT is the main reason to use interactive brokers?

    I've been an IB customer twice. Most recently since about 2000. I have had a number of other brokers during that period (and still have 3 others) but IB gets all my activity. Why IB? - they are technically advanced, automating as much as possible which has always supported my needs. -...

    Mini Nikkei Futures

    You can use Sierra Chart to chart all the different N225s. The potentially missed ticks are caused because of IB's snapshot data (last price of the 100ms sample). They also have a 5 second (thus delayed) bar feed that misses no prices. With SC you can combine the two to give...

    Sorry doom and gloomers. The real estate market is hot in California.

    LOL DZ. You reveal so much about yourself that I'll leave you to yourself. Sad and self deceptive in one package.

    Sorry doom and gloomers. The real estate market is hot in California.

    For one who feels the need to announce to the world that he is a doctor your grasp of English is as weak as your need for expletive is strong. You are clutching, with some desperation I suspect.
