Definitely worth going. Lots of presentations, etc. Forex seems to have taken over alot of it, however.

The pattern day trading rule only applies to margin accounts. If you trade using a cash account, it does not apply. But then you can't short, and settlement may become an issue.

Not necessarily. Have you not heard of margin ? How about leverage ?

Don't follow you (not a metastock guy, though). You've got some source files that look like C++. You want to write them to a text file ? But they are already a text file (C++ source is ascii text). What exactly do you want to do ? Compile the C++ (like) source ? Run it in an...

I stand corrected. It's "lose" not "loose". I'm typing this at 3:40 am, and I'm not an English major. Disregard my posts.

$0. Forget about how much you can make. The issue is how much you can loose. I would think that the current financial crisis would hammer home this concept, but I guess not ... So really, the question is "how much can they realistically loose, per day, trading their own account?"...

For you, no.

I agree with LL. Get a FIX engine, connect it to another, throw some messages at it, and see the result. Learn how to connect, manage a reconnect, (re) synchronize the sequence numbers, etc.

>1) How much money can I expect to make if I put up 10K? $0. >2) Assume I'm aiming for an annual target of a 20-30% return on my trading. Is this too small, too much, or more or less it? No idea. What have you done in your demo accts ? >3) How does leverage work exactly? If it's...

I suppose you've never heard of the term "pro bono".

Especially weird since it appears to be open source. How often do you see an open source product compete directly with a proprietary product ? Not often (at least not officially). Stick with NT/Zen. If this TZ company wants to compete, give me a demo. No demo, no competition. It's...

ok. ;) (wink, wink)

First a financial pandemic, next an influenza pandemic, what's next ? Wars and rumors of wars (Biblical allusion intended) ?

> Why do "the elite" constantly need the world to end? Eugenics, new world order or "survival of the fittest". Take your pick.

My prediction ... the bank stess test results will not be released Why ? 1) All 19 banks pass with flying colors. But if failures ensue, then the gov is on the hook (CYA). 2) All 19 fail. No brainer. No results released. 3) Some fail, some pass. See #1 above.

A stop is really a risk management mechanism, so guess you have to balance your risk management with the technicals. If I had to prioritize, I'd probably err on the side of risk management, rather than swings, support/res, etc. If you can afford large drawdowns, then this becomes less an...

Obviously to be more profitable, which may or may not be the case (I suspect pump and dump is non-trivial for ES).

Yea ... now all the unemployed developers can get free software tools !!! http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/04/07/2136246&art_pos=7
