    BOX - Boston Options Exchange

    I am curious to hear what some of the more experienced option traders here think about BOX. It looks to me like an option ECN, which I would think should be a good thing. Do you guys think this will get the spreads down to a more managable level? One reason I sort of lost interest in...

    E-signal

    North Pesos, Thanks, I will look into it. opm8, I have taken that approach before. Even though it seems logical, it appeared that it did not give a correct MA. I will rethink and check again. Thanks,

    E-signal

    Quick question for e-signal. Is it possible to put a 15min 21 period MA on a 5min chart? If so, how? Thanks, and BTW, you guys are doing a great job. :)

    My Take on the Jan Effect

    Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. This isn't my kind of trading but it is nice to know what else is being done out there. ( so what is my kind of trading...?? who knows..?? ) :confused:

    Software for Scanning/backtesting

    Just to clarify what I am looking for ( besides the holy grail ). I would like to be able to write a scan that looks at 200 stocks real time and returns an alert when it see a match for a criteria I have written. For instance I might write a search for a NR4 on 5 min period that looks like...

    Software for Scanning/backtesting

    I did go to your website. I have attached a GIF file that shows where I have chosen 3 alerts. As I understand your system, I can have an alert window that watches my chosen 100 stocks, and will give me an alert whenever: Any one of the stocks indicates a "new high" Any one of the...

    Software for Scanning/backtesting

    Finally got rid of Qcharts... I fervently hope I never have to deal with them again. :(

    Software for Scanning/backtesting

    My question would be... Can you scan for a watchlist of perhaps 100 stocks and get alerts on whichever of these 100 happened to have a fit to your criteria? Many packages can generate buy sell signals IF you are looking at the chart at the time the signal is generated. The only drawback...

    9/11 beer

    I started my statement that "IF I were in charge". I am not... and maybe that IS a good thing. And I did my time in the late 60's. Didn't get shot at, but damn near got run over by a Russian submarine. We didn't sink, they didn't sink, but 20' more................ But I stand by my...

    XP of Win 2000 which is best?

    Win2000 is very easy to install and get going. You must have fairly new hardware though. A lot of stuff on my old machine did not have 2000 drivers. ( it was a pretty old machine - several years old ) I did it, it can't be too hard. :D

    Software for Scanning/backtesting

    To be sure, the limited amount that I have been able to accomplish with Investor/RT has led me to believe that real time scanning is not the holy grail either. However, there is enough promise that I would like to pursue it some more with a reliable program. ( My version of IRT crashes about...

    Software for Scanning/backtesting

    I have been trying out Investor/RT lately. It has been a pain, and is not working out too well. I intend to write a full review soon. In the meantime I still would like to find a reliable realtime intraday scanner that can scan a list of a 100 or so stocks and generate alerts according...

    9/11 beer

    Yes Deliver such pain to those people so that the sane ones who are left make sure the insane (fanatical) ones NEVER contemplate doing such a thing again. :mad:

    9/11 beer

    Every time I see something with the twin towers skyline, I get sad, then I get real mad. Good thing I was not in charge of the US on 9/11, cause on 9/12 there would have been a heap of real hurtin' folks in the middle east. :mad:

    the raelians

    Quoted from a news source "The sect's leader, Rael, claims life on earth was created by extraterrestrials through genetic engineering." I've heard an argument that we are the product of some extraterrestrials dumping their garbage out before leaving. whatever..... I have also heard...

    Excellent insight dbphoenix. I was (am) the rookie that wanted a pattern that told me what was going to happen. I ain't found it yet.. :confused:

    Don's Openings, Part 5

    Friday 2 shorts BK -.10 opened up again and went up again, waited til it retraced a bit, then jumped out. Could have waited more and got a bit of profit. Dang why can't I just read the future..?? BBY +.25 got about as much as I could expect out of this one.

    Don's Openings, Part 5

    Some days it is better to be lucky than good..... :p McAfee virus software messes with ECHOtrade's Sterling software something fierce. I normally have it turned off, but occasionally it turns itself on anyway. I did not notice that this morning McAfee had restarted itself. I started...
