    Interactive Brokers Charting Poll

    First off, I don't represent IB. But all you folks suggesting IB buy or offer another charting package should keep this in mind. IB, from the very beginning, hitched their wagon to Java and that will never change. I don't think they would introduce a package written in C++ or any other...

    Roll over day for the CL contract?

    You might want to read a thread I started a while back that addresses this very issue. The thread title is "CL Rollover Rule". http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=177952 Bottom line is, as far as I can tell, for CL there is no hard-and-fast rule for the rollover date...

    newbie questions: Pairs trading and ex-Dividend?

    Yea, some of the higher dividend yielding stocks really gap down at the xdiv date open. This is probably obvious but it seems like the best way to backtest this would be to use regular non dividend adjusted prices for each side and factor in the long side gets the dividend and the short side...

    newbie questions: Pairs trading and ex-Dividend?

    Just thinking out loud. I wasn't sure if the short had to pay the dividend so I did a little thought experiment. Lets try to establish a baseline truth. It should not be possible to make a know (arbitrage) profit by going long and short the same stock at the same time. Lets say you...

    Brent Crude data through Ninjatrader/Zenfire

    Only realtime data is available for BRN with NT/Zenfire. No historical data. Please contact Ninjatrader Support and also put a request in at the Ninjatrader forum and request that they add historical backfill data for Brent ICE (BRN). If enough folks request it, they may finally respond. cT

    Witricity

    This article doesn't spell out what superconductivity is. In case you are not familiar with it, this is a real phenomenon. When certain materials are cooled to extremely low temperatures, electricity flows thru them with zero resistance. This seems to disobey the basic laws of physics...

    Witricity

    Yea but 45% efficiency? I don't think we should be moving towards a technology that is inherently inefficient, do you? I would rather spend my electrical research and development budget on things like superconducting power transmission. This is going the right direction in efficiency - zero...

    How Big Of A PSU Is Needed For A Trading Computer?

    No one has mentioned the efficiency ratings. Generally this is where the higher prices are. Be sure to get at least 80 PLUS. I recommend spending the money and get an 80 PLUS Silver or 80 PLUS Gold. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/80_PLUS cT

    Performance problem? Win7 monitors at Portrait orientation

    If you come up with something let us know. Its interesting some applications, based on some of the replys, are sensitive to portrait mode. You would think either all the apps would perform well or all the apps would perform poorly. I'm trying to think of a way to write an application...

    Performance problem? Win7 monitors at Portrait orientation

    I have a similar rig to yours - Win7 64bit i7 930. I've begun experimenting with portrait mode. So far I don't see any performance difference however font rendering looks to have a little poorer image quality. With my last rig (xp 32bit), when I experimented with portrait, there was a...

    Backwardation and the fall of the bankers

    Therefore, if I'm a clearing firm with a client that has an open position on the last trading day, or an exchange with a clearing firm with an open position obligation on the last trading day, and I have any doubt about their ability to meet their contractual obligation ie shorts deliver and...

    Backwardation and the fall of the bankers

    I confess that I have not researched exactly how the silver futures contract is spec'ed, but isn't the exchanges role here just to match buyers and sellers. In the futures markets, isn't it the seller who is responsibility for delivering the physical to the buyer? I assume the silver futures...

    Zen Fire Disaster

    From the ICE you offer TF,CC,KC,CT,OJ, and SB. But you don't offer BRN (Brent). I can't understand this. Brent is by far the highest volume futures contract traded at the ICE. All day long they are constantly discussing the West Texas contract (CL from Nymex) and the Brent contract (BRN from...

    NinjaTrader with Trading Technolgies does not support Brent ICE futures contract.

    Ray has responded to me privately about this. According to Ray, myself and heech are the only two individuals on the planet who have requested any ICE support beyond TF. Though he didn't give me a specific number, he implied that several hundred folks would have to request BRN or DX for the TT...

    NinjaTrader with Trading Technolgies does not support Brent ICE futures contract.

    I don't mean to be argumentative here, just conversing. I haven't done exhaustive research on this, perhaps you have. Aren't there a lot of different brokers offering Zenfire. Don't these brokers all compete with Mirus. So are the various brokers offering Rithmic all offering the same...
