    Swapping big (50mb) files

    yes, because you are behind a router/firewall your private IP is unreachable. you need a program like kazaa http://www.kazaa.com/en/kmdstart.htm it will allow you precisely what you ask.. a good idea is to encrypt your file and only share a folder with nothing else in it than what you...

    Trading better with TS6 ?

    well.. this topic comes up from time to time. In the past I was always first one to jump in the thread. Now it's a bit frustrating to hear the same arguments on both sides, again and again. so a quick response : of course there are hedge funds which beats the S&P long term. there are all...

    IB Quote Problems

    Now it's one week for NYSE quote and routing problems. This is not good. I don't like. quotes I mind less although I would expect the quotes to be correct. But the real damage is with routing problems when at times, it was impossible to send or cancel an order or even know if one order was...

    Scalping Equity Options!

    Sure, and I do that, well just a little. I am not an expert of options at all. my only use of them is to hedge. My style is off floor market maker, that's why when looking at options I did not find it interesting. also the agreement to trade options with IB is very strict. I don't think it's...

    April Trading Journals

    you should relax a bit. I was down today, and that's pretty rare. it was tough with stocks with my bread and butter, while shorting this NQ would have been so easy (a nice trend down after a gap down break down and short right up this down trendline). but that's no longer my game. you just...

    Why Nyse stocks ?????

    FPC, this demonstrates my point, you don't read this thread and you don't bring anything. anyone can read the thread and see who did add value and who did not. I will just hit the ignore button on you, no problem. have fun, we know your kind.

    mark to market

    setharb, MTM does not only bring you mark to market of open positions, it also transforms capital gains into ordinary income, so you can offset it with expenses and also avoid the 3000$ limit on losses (not that I wish you losses, but if you have some, better not limit the offset). MTM brings...

    Why Nyse stocks ?????

    OK, now I understand what you meant. your original post was suggesting you can't make money with NYSE, which is not true of course. Yep, directional trading with NYSE is more difficult I think, unless you stay in for a few days. I do that sometimes, but usually I play specialist surrogate...
