Those are tool tip popups. There's a registry parameter that controls them I believe - never actually wanted to ever turn them off, so I didn't investigate deeply. Find a copy of the W98 Resource Kit - one of the tools there (maybe the TweakUI program) will give you a quick and convenient...

FYI - the VIX doesn't start being reported by CBOE until 15 minutes after the market opens - 9:45am ET By then the S&P 100 stocks and the OEX options (the basis for the VIX) are all trading

Doesn't say the magnitude of the "reversal". Wanna bet that there's probably some kind of "reversal" 2 to 3 days from almost any randomly picked day 68% of the time? I've been watching the CVRs for a long time. Any one kicking off isn't to meaningful. If you get several at the same time...

No magic there - it broke short on just about EVERY kind of chart. Although it also looks like the So9 chart still has a level coming up @ about 960 and the 100 DEMA is at about 953. So outcome may still be open.

Looks like the API doc for the Java component. You'd probably have to get the Java package too and reference it as part of your own Java-based interface. Might be possible to COM wrap it so you could hook it up to software written in other languages (don't personally use Java - never liked...

If that means you're websurfing while trading and the sites you're visiting are throwing up popup and popunder ads windows - just download the latest Google bar (it's free) and use its automatic browser popup blocker. It's got a way to flag certain sites to allow popup windows in case you're...

It's not a "new" policy. It was always their policy. The word is that they had a bug in their authentication system that was improperly validating livecharts subscriber IDs for connection to the qcharts servers. Lots of pissed messages on boards last month from people who had been...

You can also take a look at a Keltner-like moving envelope. Here's an example on a 5 minute chart with a 5 period range average and a 2 period MA of average price.

Their features description says "Streaming Real-Time quotes from NYSE, AMEX, NASDAQ and OPRA Exchanges" So one would reasonably assume they do NOT provide futures data. If all you need is a similar browser-based display for futures, check the CME's E-quotes service.

If you're not on dialup - get a router with built in NAT firewall. It's very cheap, let's you share your connection with more than one machine, and blocks all outside intrusion (not just that old Messenger hack).

The Dow mini hasn't traded for 20 years. And anyway, 20 year old 1 minute data (in fact any non-electronically traded futures contract - even current data) is going to give you only an approximation of the trading at best. They just price capture from the shouts in the pits and shoot it...

The MA calculation just drops off the sixth day as if you dumped the shares at the price you paid for them - so there are two ways of looking at it - a moving position or a bunch of separate positions: Latest 6 days prices - 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 MA of last 5 days is (10+9+8+7+6)/5 = 8...

Chas - just because the options are sold on an American exchange, doesn't mean they're American-style options. Check the option contract specifications before you trade any options.

As pointed out earlier, that doesn't replicate an MA. If you're trying to replicate a 5 day MA - after you've bought the close for the first 5 days, what are you going to do on the sixth day? If you buy the close on the 6th day, you now have an average cost that matches the 6 day MA, not the 5...

No I'm not kidding - I'm curious what YOU think such a make believe instrument would buy you over trading the actual security (presumably ignoring that prices during the day fluctuate all over the map and aren't just the one price reflected by an N day moving average)? ------------- As far...

No Why would anyone want to try?

Might want to check out your monitor then (or you peripheral vision :) ). Maybe its got short phosphor persistance that you're catching out the corner of your eye. Or maybe you're perceiving an ocular artifact out of your peripheral vision when you blink. I just tried dropping the monitor...

My thought is that you've seriously overestimated the monthly cost of software and datafeed for the majority of traders by at least 200% and probably more like 3-400%.

Flicker is not "caused" but the electron gun scan. If it were, you'd see flickering while looking at the monitor in a dark room (which if you do, then you better have the monitor checked). Flicker is the result of the visual interaction between the monitor's refresh/scan rate and the...

It only means that the max for THAT card in digital mode is 1280x1024 - there are digital flat panels with higher resolution than that (although the digital vs. analog debate is mostly overblown) 24bpp = 24 bits per pixel (it's referring to color depth = 16M colors = TrueColor) 60 Hz...
