Pal, after doing the dirty on it's commitment to pay back bllions to the British and Dutch Governments who bailed out savers shafter by IceSave's implosion Iceland is going to become an economic and financial pariah. Forget about revenge and start praying for mercy asit's the British who have...

There's a debate to be had, but you've chosen the wrong ground to do it on IMHO. If this was a "handpicked set of contracts" in the way you suggest results would be much better. So, if they are hand picked, he picked poorly. I have some pragmatic philosophical differences with Murray about...

I would never use virtual box for what you have in mind. instead set up a kernel virtual machine (KVM) which will give you near bare metal levels of performance and be able to run Windows images (I know Red hat KVM can do this). In fact, I believe that KVM gives superior performance than...

My first reaction/question on reading this is how do you handle the long term upward drift of many markets? Do you detrend as a step 0? Apologies if I've stepped in here and missed some fundamental piece of information. I've not read the entire thread. Thx D

What about levering ETFs with CFDs?

How's about this for a special scheme; you go to the website and pay for it - seeing as you don't own it;) Actually paying for stuff seems to be going out of fashion round here. Thx D

I'm not in the slightest bit surprised as I've always suspected this was going on. What I am suprised by is that you seem so shocked. Or am I misinterpreting? Thx D

Does that surprise you? I would expect nothing less of an OS that is smaller, oldr and therefore with more mature driver support. I can't remember an OS release that was faster than it's predecessor on the same hardware. They're generally designed to capitalize on current/next gen hardware &...

Which is fair enough. It's applications that have driven Windows domination up until now, which is why I run a Windows desktop. As your issues are more with MSFT than with Vista then ditching XP and going to some other platform is pretty much a no brainer. I agree that Windows does have...

You associate the community with yourself. That's interesting. I've worked my entire adult life with Unix systems so I'm aware of the issues. Given that IBM's As/400 was designated "Unix" the definition can run pretty wide. But I don't have an issue with AAPL's technology per se. Rather...

That depends on the Vista issues that bothered you. Windows 7 is not a major overhaul of Windows but rather an intermediate step. For me, I'm satisfied and have ordered Windows 7. As for the tenor of this thread, that Windows & MSFT are crap cos all security issues haven't been unbreakably...

If this is true, then by applying a similar sensitivity and scale of classification, perhaps George Bush was a Neo Nazi faschist ideologue and an abhorrence to the freedom loving, self reliant peoples of the entire world?

I find it interesting how the word "Liberal", in the political sense, appears to have a very different meaning in the US to Europe.

That was the term a Quant Developer user used to describe the difference between Open Quant and Quant Developer to me.

First of all, it's not easy to be "better" than Trading Blox - it's a good quality product. But also "betterness" is relative and hard to define. I compared it with Quant Developer, Tradersstudio and Multicharts (not all at the same time). My aim was to determine whether the price they were...

Other than it being expensive and the suggestion that it is therefore " must be good", can you explain why you bought it? I looked at TB some time back and couldn't justify the expense given it's commoditized feature set.

Hi, I think the product comes with some sample data. If what you want isn't in there then you could try pinging them to see if they might send you some data of the type you need. Whatever you do, you're going to need decent data so buying into a good source is mandatory. I would argue that...

Dont know which video you refer to but I do hold "voice of guy on demo video" as a key criteria for acceptance / rejection of any product under evaluation. It's just way too important to ingore! Thanks for the reminder. You're clearly a forward thinker. :cool: Thx D

Please be aware that Tradersstudio is not God's gift to the world. it is just a decent trading related product. What I mean by decent is that it does what it claims to do well (those things which matter) at a reasonable price. Surprisingly complex strategy logic can be realise with...

I am not surprised one bit by this. A veneer of friendliness towards westerners has been based upon the premise of exploitative greed (get their money). So when things turn sour the knives come out, literally. Sadly, this is a simple manifestation of the primitive cruelty and xenophobia...
