toby, Good luck, I'm a fan of Darvas. I noticed all the stocks are NYSE listed, any reason for this? DS

Google First Jersey Securites Robert Brennan to see how a master of the pump and dump did it back in the 80s. Brennan who at one time was considered one of New Jersey's best citizens, is I think still serving time for his role in a improper bankruptcy filing although most observers felt the...

Will the sky also fall? If so, what market can I trade sky futures in?

This is a response I got from Dean at TS when I asked about going automatic : "The strategy automation execution system on the platform will attempt to recover from a disconnect and many times is successful in doing so. However, I'm going to confirm your suspicion that it is very risky if not...

I agree it is a bad idea; but many companies share GMs problems and these companies finance our politicians and money talks is my line of thought. DS

Anyone think GM's woes will lead to some sort of a national insurance program that is in part financed by the govt? I heard some weeks ago one of GM's execs (don't remember his name) whining (accurately) that some foreign auto makers get subsidized because of national health insurance programs...

The best way to explain these moves is to randomly take a headline from the front page of your favorite paper and connect it to the price change. For example, DOW drops 100 points (roughly today's intraday move) because GM to Slash 25000 jobs. It helps to randomly select a headline...

I dont' trade fx. My code is posted earlier in this thread. DS

I trade a slightly modified version on ER2. Does reasonably well. DS

Nice journal. Gaps are something I've been wanting to learn more about. Thanks for posting this and good luck, DS

Also not many places in the world you can get better long term yields.

"Medical errors kill nearly 100,000 American each year, with lethal drug interactions accounting for most of these deaths. Computerization -- which hospitals have been slow to embrace -- was supposed to eliminate most problems, but new research published Wednesday indicates that even the best...

IMO, the current news was good news as no more bad news came out maybe indicating the worst is over and maybe AIG is now a good buy. DS

There are a lot of posts about TS; read them and then ask your questions.

What is the source of these data? DS

I use this ratio in some of my trading. Here is my EL code for the one I use: input: Price((H+L)/2), ERLen(21); var: effratio(0), netchg(0), totchg(0); if CurrentBar = 1 then effratio = Price else begin NetChg = Price - Price[ ERLen ] ; TotChg = Summation( AbsValue(...

Actually that is an enormous improvement over their previous complete lack of communication when problems occurred. BTW-did anyone "waste" their time to check TS's "network status page" to see if it was ALL GREEN as it normally is when there is a data or trade server failure? I don't even...

You are changing the wording a little and the question a lot by adding: "...there's no such requirement for us." To me that is a very different question to the one you claim in the beginning of the thread you asked. Your first question did not say you were not regulated. DS

If you want a professional answer, you need to contact an expert in the regulatory field, ie a lawyer who specializes in security regs, not a broker. YOU did not do your homework; don't blame IB for your failings. I've had a few dealings with IB on my account and they were all handled...

I disagree:while health care costs are very high for GM, the other auto makers have them also, especially the foreign makes produced in the US. GM sales down; Toyota's are up big time. This tells me GM is making undesireable cars and IMO the health care costs are a red herring to shift...
