Why use 2 keys when one will do. Backspace. The speed gain to me is not worth it. FF4 has the ugliest font rendering I've ever seen. It was unbearable I had to turn off the direct2d rendering after a few hours. That fixed most of the fonts but some still renders horribly. IE does render the...

No, they are putting in a limit on Google lead-in too. Used to read NYT a lot, no so much in the past couple of years.

This tax season is for transactions done last year. If you sold the stocks only a few days ago, you can pay the taxes on it next tax season. I hope it's not a huge stack of stocks because you could have saved a ton of money from Uncle Sam if you inherit the stocks instead of receiving them as...

There was a fortune cookie sequence too some years back. They won 5 /5. The lottery commission launched an investigation thinking fraud was involved.

I think there were probably a good number of tickets won with the Lost numbers. Good for $150, third prize, 3 of 5 +1. I did a few quick calculations using the eighth prize (1 of 5 +1) as reference: for this drawing the % of third prize winners / eighth prize winners is ~1.7% vs ~1% for the...

The payoff... that's whole idea, for me at least. The payoff gets big enough for me to basically throw away 5 or 10 bucks for a slim chance. The reason I don't play the $40m jackpot for $2 is the same as not playing $100 for a $300m one: too much money to throw away for too little return...

I myself only play when the jackpot is >70M or so, because the chance of winning is so low that I don't think it's worth the trouble or the money (even at $1) to bother with a lower jackpot. Sure enough, someone did the math to prove me right: http://www.slate.com/id/114577/

on the RadarScreen, right-click on the stock's Last price and choose Format 'Last: for XYZ'. On the pop-up window, on Inputs tab, set HiAlert or LoAlert to your alert price. Click on the Alerts tab to enable and customize your alert.

What size of the positions you put on these trades? Fixed share size or fixed dollar amount? What if you have an extremely busy day, with 50 or 80 symbols pop up, do you still keep your same normal size for each symbol?

I thought they do. Spoke to Gabby a few months back, she told me they do accept LLC accounts, but with minimum 50k deposit. BTW lescor, congrats on a kick-ass year (might be just an OK year on your book).

So you should be able to see a correction is in order. :D

I am looking for an extra monitor 22"+ cheap and some ddr3 rams. Got those? I can pick them up.

lescor, congrats on a great year so far. And thank you for your generosity and patience in this thread; it's extremely educational and inspirational. Can you share some stats: on a typical day, while you away doing laps on your dirt bike, how many positions and how many shares total and $...

Glad to see that took care of your problem. mmm, I don't recall getting garbled data after a refresh-reload. I've been using TS for many years now, their data is usually pretty good. Maybe it's something else. I have encountered a few times when refresh-reload doesn't work however...

go to view-refresh to flush out the cached data

another thing I can think of is the session time: is it regular session or 24-hour session?

most likely it was ABK that caused the spike in $trin yesterday in the afternoon, when it dipped into negative territory. 700+ million shares traded!!! Only a while back that was the combined volume of nyse and nasdaq.

I believe it is 62% of the shorts and 48% of the longs are profitable

I've met a couple of people whose 7 actually expired for about a decade, and were able to get it back without having to re-take the test. Their secret? Go with a Phlx registered B/D. Not only your expired 7 is still good to them, afterward your 7 would be good to Finra firms as well, however...

Robert, are you running Tradestation in addition to IB? If so, you can use either the scanner or RadarScreen in TS to find trading candidates. I played around with the scanner for a while, didn't like it much, but RadarScreen is a keeper. It's limited to "only" 1000 symbols, but I like it as...
