Slave2market, Vonk, Can you point us to any books/articles that would shed some light on how to program this way? Years ago I could program in BASIC and FORTRAN, so I probably could learn enough to get by. But I look at the examples Neoticker supplies, and I look into the source...

Scalping, We are always interested in hearing about folks' experiences using various services. Keep us posted.. good luck

Checking it out as we speak. So far, I have found it to be very stable, works like it should (to the extent that I know what it should be doing), and seems to have all the functionality I would ever know how to use. But.. I am having a hard time figuring out how to use the backtesting...

As I am sure you are aware, Buck Knives just threw in the towel and announced plans to move to Idaho. Reasons: cheaper land, cheaper labor, cheaper utilities, cheaper taxes, cheaper........ That is 500 or so jobs down the tubes, not insignificant for an area like east county.

I notice that on GE Friday, there is a bad tick at 11:41 on most charts. You have apparently fixed it intraday (good job) but it still reflected in the daily candle. Is there a way to insure that the fixes get to all time frames? Jeesh.... picky picky picky.... Also.. I sure wish...

Interesting... 4 or 5 new folks suddenly show up here to say Investor/RT is not so bad after all. Oh well.. to each his/her own. JimS.. I too spent years as a beta tester and unpaid QA for Autodesk, Solidworks, and Pro Engineer. I was supposed to just be a user, but spent a...

So what did I ever do to you? Why the snippy comment?

If I hit the offer and get price improvement... that is dandy.. It is only fair if he has the option to do the same thing... When or what is the PIP period? So my broker or the MM can step right in front of me and my offer at 1.55 and sell it to the 1.55 bidder at 1.54, (good for...

Someone add a bit more to my education. Lets say I am watching a stock on the NYSE, and it is going down to where I think it might find support. The spread is 5 @ 40.51 x 2 @ 40.95. And I decide to buy in (brave soul) and put in a bid of 40.55. If the specialist is thinking right...

MSKL, I think I understand now. If I am looking at an option spread at 2.85 x 3.10, and I want to put in a bid at 2.90, then the MM can put in an "invisible" bid at 2.91 and snag off any order that might have come my way? If that is really the way the PIP thing works, then it really...

RE: Yahoo boards...... They SUCK. I had never been on one til recently, man WHAT A PAIN..!! :mad: If the multitude of banner ads and pop ups weren't bad enough, I keep getting thrown into a full page ad every 4 or 5 messages. Gotta hit the continue button to go on, and if you...

Porobably as good a guess as any. I wonder why the daily doesn't respond to my setting of only trading hours?

You learn the most interesting things here. Thanks for the mention of the movie "Pi". I'll look for it at the rental places.

Here are some pictures of my charts. The daily chart seems quite at odds with the 15min chart. Is there some explanation as to why this is. Can anything be done to bring them into agreement?

OK, The link looks like it worked. The QQQ information is a bit outdated though. Since the ISLD quotes cant be seen any more, the QQQ's are somewhat harder to trade. NEVER... NEVER.. route ANYTHING to the thieves and liars at AMEX. Hope this helps. :)

I am going to try to post a link http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=50799#post50799 If it does not work, I will repost the whole thing here. This is something I wrote for another novice some time ago. I think it is applicable info for any newbie. FWIW, I am still...
