    No hyperinflation in Europe

    Yes, prices are dropping like a rock in Germany. Yet, people are talking about inflation all the time. Defla...what? Never heard. Some gold bugs here in Germany are even suggesting that the hyperinflation has already started. I don't know if this is funny or just sad - but it is simply...

    Macintosh's are NOT inherently secure

    I'm a long time windows user, and I have a Mac also. The difference may be small, but it is significant: Almost every detail about a Mac is more refined, more polished, which makes it actually a joy to use a Mac. Something I never experienced with a windows machine. It's a bit like the...

    Beating the coming inflation

    Makloda, i think you're right. At this moment, nothing points to serious inflation - let alone hyperinflation. There are basically two types of people hoping for high inflation rates: 1) Those who are in debt 2) Those who think they can profit from high inflation, for example real estate...

    eSignal Down?

    Yes, real men can trade without charts... :cool: But it's extremely annoyning. And, when considering that I pay way over 300 bucks/month for it, it's just unacceptable.

    eSignal Down?

    10.1. and 10.3 are also not working. The issue seems not to be related to the version used. If it suddenly works with another version, maybe thats just a coincidence.

    eSignal Down?

    I'm using 10.2 and it is not working. I have virtual machine snapshots with 10.1. and 10.3 installed, will test them now...

    eSignal Down?

    Funny thing is, according to eSignal each user will be assigned to a data center on a dynamic basis, to balance load between data centers. If this is true, failure of a single data center should not even be a problem - users would be simply redirected to another one. Maybe they are not...

    eSignal Down?

    The data manager seems to crash. Must be related to the connection problems.

    eSignal Down?

    If you wait a while and load another page, the charts appear. However, status bar at the bottom still reads "NO DATA" and charts do not update. But hey! At least we'll get another bunch of fancy features in eSignal 10.4. Great, isn't it?

    eSignal Down?

    I'm having the same problem. "NO DATA" in the status bar, charts not loading.

    ES Margin Lowered

    You're right. However, my experience is that a change in the 'perception of risk' (even if it is calculated by a set formula) often foreshadows a change in market behavior. Just a thing I learned in the few years of trading. The market just has this uncanny ability to surprise people...

    ES Margin Lowered

    YM margin has also been lowered. Maybe the next leg down is about to start...

    according to IB, I'm the RICHEST person in the world

    Bob111, you're absolutely right, the "upgrade madness" has to stop. It's seriously undermining any trust in the reliability of the platform. Please, IB: Suspend implementation of new features for at least 6-12 month and work exclusively on the existing bugs and glitches.

    Announcing eSignal 10.4

    I think there is a reason for this: Data reliability cannot be advertised (or to a lesser degree), only experienced. In contrast, all those fancy features can be advertised, and, in fact, will attract new customers. One has be aware that the average 'trading career' ist relatively short. Most...

    Hedge Fund Hell: Arbitrage in Financials Backfires

    Why should they? As long as the strategies work, the will collect their fees. When they finally blow up, it's the loss of their investors. It makes perfect sense for the managers to prefer strategies which deliver steady returns over a long time, but have the (hidden) drawback that they will...

    Emergency Backup Plan

    Trading leveraged with real size without a backup account is an accident waiting to happen.

    Alexander Elder hates S&P index futures?

    Yes, it seems that the index futures move very slowly most of the time. However, during unexpected news events, they can move as fast as lightning. Most new traders do not seem to realize this. This is one of the reasons why trading ES, YM etc. with 500$ day trading margins is just plain...
