Right. If Joe Public is tempted to jump back in.... maybe it is time to worry :p

Looking at a chart, that is huge move in 3 months. Retrace of half the bull market. And 30% say "yes"? I'm not good at this permabull thing but I think the black swan sentiment is just another indicator, more upside to go. If fact I know some people who moved 401k's to cash sometime over the...

This thread makes me glad I can do my own programming ..... I would not envy the task of hiring a programmer, so many potential pitfalls.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but right now with interest rates near 0, with bond funds it's all about risk on/risk off. Investors have been skeptical of the stock market rally (risk off) so bond funds keep rising. But, if the rally continues, everyone becomes a believer and goes risk-on, bond funds...

I recommend you either uninstall Java, allow it to update, or use a browser like Chrome that only runs Java if you give permission. Whatever you do, don't run an old version of Java. I am pretty smart about security, but the one time a virus got me was from an slightly outdated version of Java.

Props on the brutal honesty ... because, we've all been there. You need better/more data. Should be easier with forex.

I can see it now, August 2017: Building a live account 612 - $435 to more than $2,000,000 in 25 years

I'm not sure if the info is current, but this link was very helpful to me when I was playing with historical data - http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/software/apiReleaseNotes/api_86.php?ib_entity=llc It says 6 months back and not real tick data, just down to 1 second bars, under...

+1, also approach security like this. Each application in it's own folder, and given whitelist security permissions. When you install the app, an easy to recognize and consistent looking security dialog from Windows, telling you what the app is requesting and you approve/deny. Confusing to some...

Wow .... I was wondering about that. I traded MCP, DDD, ANF, BVN, P, TKR this morning. Crazy. I thought Uncle Ben couldn't keep the secret any longer and pre-announced QE's 3, 4 and 5.

I read the news ... but please post in ONE thread and you can go crazy.

May be, but when to get short? I am nowhere near to getting short .... thinking Sept. 2015

All anti-virus are pretty useless. There is no substitute for being careful what you download and run from the internet or from email attachments. Also use Firefox/Chrome and know when not to click the "allow" on the yellow bar on top of your web browser. 133... well you probably have just a...

Actually look at task manager performance tab, it probably shows 8 cores (due to hyperthreading). If so then worst case, your 15% = 120% on a single core. In other words not fast enough.

Running off the cloud is nice. When I was looking at Amazon AWS (and may be true for other cloud services) keep in mind you either pay to run it 24/7, or shut it down when not in use, and pay for storage to persist the system image. Running 24/7 is more convenient. If you can verify in task...

Maybe people recommend them because they offer a free VPS from CNS to run Metatrader strategies. I don't know about the brokerage, but I have a CNS VPS (use for stock trading) and it is top notch. Hokey website but they are fanatical about 100% uptime.

That's not right... either it is a platform bug/configuration issue, or it is a weak platform and you are overloading it somehow. The chances of "turbo" helping are slim to none.

Open task manager and see what process is maxing out the CPU

Does the whole computer become unresponsive? If so may be hard drive or CPU maxing out. What trading platform?

Jack will surely deliver.
