    Quote Tracker - anyone having problems today?

    Anyone having problems with QT today? Doesn't look like my quotes are updating, the bid and the ask are just sitting there. Thought maybe the market is just real slow. Charts are showing data going to about 10:30 am and then they are blank, then they start showing again about 12 noon. A couple...

    Voice Recognition Software

    Looked through the past topics and saw brief discussion on this topic. With this, I am wondering if anyone successfully uses VRS (Voice Recognition Software) in their trading. I have been curious about the practical benefits for a few years. For order entry, many respondents favored hot...

    The Baby Boomer

    What I meant to say was " this is nuts" in response to the policies in Belgium and France. It seems to me to be an incredible period to be repsonsible for full benefits to employees.

    The Baby Boomer

    This is nuts. I think it will be a little while before folks start to come back to reality. It amazes me how the "boomer" generation is able to engineer circumstances to their own gain. What was it that programmed them to be so self serving? The politics never fail to amaze me either...

    MONK traders

    Banjo: Thanks, that's where I am now. After many years in a wirehouse, I made the decision to pursue my other interests as that was not where I wanted to be - for all the previous reasons discussed. I was becoming someone that I am not. Now, it's kinda scary as well as exciting, because I...

    MONK traders

    You hit it there bros. As far as not telling your kids about wealth, take a lesson from some of the older folks around. They grew up in a time when humility was key. Think of how often you may have heard of an elderly person who has squirreld away cash, and no one was the wiser. Live far...

    MONK traders

    You guys are right on. Society has the pyramid upside down. The reality is, that the more "things/stuff" that you own, the MORE IT OWNS YOU. Think of the extra storage costs, insurance costs, opportunity costs of time spent having to manage "stuff". Think of the premium that one pays in life...

    Why Soldiers Fight

    Mondo: I'm with you. Many folks, it would seem, have forgotten about the acts of sedition and treasion. Under those articles, it would appear that Hollywood could be a very lonely place - many could be performing the prision theater.

    Why Soldiers Fight

    Wanted to post another angle on the Iraqi regime - does anyone think that we should continue be diplomatic with any organized group that feeds people into industrial plastic shredders (feet first so that they can hear their own screams) because they do not accept their oppressors ideals? Are...

    Why Soldiers Fight

    AAA: You're on to something. Better yet, by that logic the peaceniks would not have even had us confront the Axis Powers. Yeah that makes sens, don't kill the Waffen SS members, you might piss their family off. Folks need to get bloody real, you don't succomb to animals, you deal with them.

    Mon Ami Saddam

    Babak: you have a good reply to this. I feel that peace should be the ideal standard. However, it seems that the younger folks today are unable to recognize a "just war." I shudder to think what may have happened if we were so protest happy in 1941. Do not think for a moment that I want...

    Isolationism

    Bob and Cathy: I'm with you all on this. Way too many anti - American ingrates entering the country. I say take care of our own and let the rest of the world swim. International trade and foriegn relations are fine, however, this "one world with no borders" is unerving. Many of the "have...

    Data: Real-Time vs. Streaming

    Jerry: Thank you for your response, that makes more sense. So it sounds like that even though the data that I am demoing on is real time, it may only be a few ticks every so many moments as opposed to everything that is taking place on the trading floor - as would often be reflected with a...

    Data: Real-Time vs. Streaming

    ArchAngel: My post may have been somewhat incomplete. I am using quotetracker as my charting package, and one of the free streaming quote packages (think it's through Scottrade). It is setup to display two days of data (today & previous) with data backfill. So I have replicated as closely...

    Data: Real-Time vs. Streaming

    Just wondering if anyone could tell me the difference between live real-time data and streaming data. Recently, my employment situation has changed and therefore I am using a cheaper (free) charting and data combination. As a result, (perhaps other factors as well), it seems that I just can't...

    How do you use a regression channel??

    If you are speaking about a channel like the Raff regression channel, it can be viewed somewhat like a set of price bands ( IE- Bollinger bands). What I mean by that is you have a set of lines (trend lines) that represent trend support (the lower line) and trend resistence (the upper line)...
