    2 Bar Charlie Day Trade System ("LIVE DEMO")

    TREX - in case you missed the earlier question. I'm still interested hearing whether you bother in to incorporate support/resistance at all into your entries and if not, why not? Quick question - are you applying any intraday support/resistance levels with this method? I'm looking at my...

    Bullets??

    Most brokers don't properly margin married puts or other hedged positions. The margin rules for such positions were changed a few years ago to give more favorable treatment because of their limited risk, but it seems that most brokers didn't bother changing their systems to accomodate it...

    Is Quote.com still Down???

    When you say "quote.com", you have to specify which product you're using - Livecharts or Qcharts? I'm not having a problem with the qcharts feed, but there could very well be some problem with livecharts (it's a lower end setup - java applet, smaller separate set of servers, etc.).

    2 Bar Charlie Day Trade System ("LIVE DEMO")

    Quick question - are you applying any intraday support/resistance levels with this method? I'm looking at my chart (see attached snapshot to see what I'm referring to) and it's showing a resistance level at 1415.47 and a support cluster at 1406-1407.40 Not sure you'd want to risk placing a...

    Pop up blocker

    Not true. They have an OPTIONAL PageRank function that would add to a visit counter tracked for different URLs (wouldn't track you, just increment a visit counter) and would show you the aggregate PageRank popularity measurement. But that's an experimental feature they're playing with to...

    Pop up blocker

    Are you seeing an actual "popup" (i.e., a new window) or are you seeing ads popping up in front of the page you're viewing? I'm using Google's popup blocker and it's been working very well, but there are a few sites (like the TVGuide site) that use embedded ads that live within the current...

    Credit Spreads

    Don should stick to talking about stocks - options are clearly not his forte. When you pull that "estimate" out of thin air (or a body part as the case may be) of 5 in 20 (that's 1 in 4 to the rest of us) blowing up - what's that mean? A spread can't "blow up" because it has a fixed risk...

    Kill Bill

    When you say "He did it again", do you mean it's like his other movies? Or is this one actually good?

    Credit Spreads

    Yeah, credit spreads work well (as long as you pick your strikes appropriately of course) - just don't waste your money following Bernie's picks The credit spread is effectively the same as the comparably debit spread (there's no jackpot involved with spreads (debit or credit) - they're...

    An access point is a station that transmits and receives data (sometimes referred to as a transceiver). An access point connects users to other users within the network and also can serve as the point of interconnection between the WLAN and a fixed wire network. Each access point can serve...

    Profitable Options Strategy With Edge

    Interesting how flexible the term "prop trading" has become. What many people call "prop trading" now used to be called "professional trading", i.e., you put up your capital, got to piggyback on the firm's high leverage, got access to backoffice setups like bullets, and you traded your own...

    Sockets programming

    If you're doing fairly straightforward stuff, just read the VB Help file under the topics "Using the Winsock Control" and also "Winsock Control" (which documetns the properties, methods, events, etc.) The control encapsulates normal TCP and UDP communication functions and it's dead easy to use.

    Oneq

    Not a whole lot of volume though - might become more attractive after the CME launches its Naz Composite futures (end of this month I think??). Although I'm not sure why they're bothering - 80%+ of the COMPX moves are driven by the Nasdaq-100 anyway Is this a ploy to increase overall...

    Calling TWS ActiveX from C#

    There's a pretty simple answer that doesn't involve crypto or anything else. If you're really paranoid that someone's going to hack your machine (which should be pretty tough if you take basic precautions to isolate your machine from direct internet exposure - presumably your workstation...

    No More 200:1 Leverage

    Risk is the same, the difference is how much bond/margin you need to have to put on each lot. You're going to lose whatever you're going to lose regardless of how much the bond/margin is and you could always lose more than the initial bond/margin if the position suddenly goes sharply against...
