    Don Bright's "Core Positions"...

    What happens when short on a delisted stock?

    Does anyone have any experience? I was wondering if I short a stock that ends up getting delisted. What price will I have to cover my share? Will I have to buy it back in the OTC market? Thanks!

    Tightest morning range EVER!

    Maybe 67 traders is not a large enough sample to make that conclusion. I think the use of stops depends on the type of trading. Scalpers would not use stops while eod swing traders would.

    Is it easy to find a good trader job ?

    Yes, it is difficult. You need to know someone who can bring you in. I do not consider putting down 5k to a prop firm a trader job.

    4/6/8 screen setup

    2 x Dual head cards would be the cheapest. If you only have 1 slot left, you could get a Quad card. Matrox and NVidia both have good Dual head cards. I remember there was a previous thread with a lot of recommendations for good arms for multiple monitors. Might want to try a search.

    IB DDE basic question

    id = idn, where 'n' is some integer number. For orders, 'n' must always increase, even from session to session. I used a large number for n and now all my DDE orders do not work. They work when I use the same spreadsheet on edemo. Is there a way to reset the idn? I tried restarting my...

    IB DDE basic question

    Is there a certain time the id resets? I was playing around with it and I made the id a really large number. Since the id needs to be increasing, none of my orders are working I think because of that. Thanks!

    IB DDE basic question

    I just started playing around with the DDE tonight and have some questions if anyone could help. The Redi DDE link didn't seem as complicated as this IB DDE Link. How do I request the the last/high/low for a stock symbol in Excel and have it refresh every x seconds? I already got the...

    Did they change Esignal?

    Thanks Jay for the update. I would like to say that I've used many charting applications before Esignal and I still think Esignal is one of the best. This is the first time I had to call into support and the tech has able to reproduce and help me resolve it quickly.

    Did they change Esignal?

    I just noticed today that all my Esignal Chart quotes are lagging IB a many seconds. I use 5-min charts and it seems like my charts are updating every 10-20 seconds. I change to 1-min charts and my charts are updating every tick like i expect them to. I'm 100% sure my 5-min charts use to...

    Looking for a lawyer

    If what the thread-starter said was real, it would only be appropriate to warn your fellow traders so they don't make the same mistake and purchase the mentoring also. A possible reason is that maybe the course was real but he didn't have the discipline to follow it. And due to his own...
