    High Pings & Latencies in Day Trading?

    Hi chisel, I think it shouldn't make much difference. After all you are only talking about the hop between you and your ISP. From then on it's an entirely different ballgame. Practically all of the 'latency' depends on the subsequent hops to your destination. The choice of ISP may be...

    The Ultimate DAX Scalping Discussion Thread!

    Hi John, I did what I could. Although I can't explain the difference, I don't care for the extra 7 levels. Let me quickly add that I respect divergent opinions on this. I am not unhappy enough yet about IB to dump them. As I am 100% in the API corner, I know about IB's shortcomings but...

    hard drive deal this weekend

    Hi all, I followed a bit the ongoing rush for the cheapest HD. I wonder what is going on here. I also love good reliable HD's at the lowest price. As a buyer of HD's from the days a 5 Mbyte Western Digital went for $2000+ till today I have collected a lot of wisdom. Don't believe...

    help w/ automating the PROCESS of trading

    Hi nitro, This package truly looks terrific. Will it help, I doubt it. Looking at the package contents and the very, very, very loooong list of references I thought: "You don't have to read it all, but it's nice to know it's all there! :D In fact you would need a couple of lifetimes spent...

    The Ultimate DAX Scalping Discussion Thread!

    Hi Scientist, True, I haven't checked as of late, but this is the price I have seen advertised. I agree with you about not being very hot on J. I only was soothing John a bit with his feeling of being ripped off and missing seven levels. Be good Scientist, nononsense

    The Ultimate DAX Scalping Discussion Thread!

    John, Don't forget you pay $750 per month or so for your J-Trader. I pay $0 for my IB. Don't you feel ripped of by this? Let's not even talk about API's. I wrote enough about this in the past. Allowing for differences in trading styles, I am more than satisfied with 5 levels. I wouldn't...

    Why I call Backwardation in time Feynman-like effect

    Harry, Go and do your little Pi problem of a couple of weeks ago. When you're done, then humbly come back with modestly quoting great names like Lyapounov and Feynman and babbling about Nobel prizes. Right now you are a mathematical windbag. A scientific nobody. Stop making a fool of...

    Bush Going for Broke?

    Hi ShoeshineBoy, Indeed we live in a very disturbing time! Deficits all over the world, US, Europe - read about the latest subsidy proposals wrecking all fiscal discipline in Europe. What should Bush have done differently, budgetwise? Let Saddam run wild? Good old Qadaffi is even getting...

    Level II usefulness

    Hi roberk, I understand your concern. But isn't this exactly the reason we have created the SEC for so that everybody has access to the same information. It's your right not wanting: "... so that every buyer in the market knew exactly what I wanted". However it's not your right wanting the...

    Why I call Backwardation in time Feynman-like effect

    Hi mind, It seems useless to try to keep Harry to the most basic form of rigor you would expect from a person of sound mind. Given the mountains of stuff that he is unloading at ET, we are entitled to some indication from his side what this all has to do with trading. Some time ago...

    Anyone trading Eurex on Monday?

    Hi all, I just noticed that TBX is traded at 1/64 versus ZB at 1/32? What effect will this have on trading? Also take a look at: http://www.cbot.com/cbot/pub/cont_detail/0,3206,1027+17219,00.html "CBOT to Launch Bund, Bobl and Schatz Futures" Interesting! Be good, nononsense

    Anyone trading Eurex on Monday?

    Hi Bernd, This doesn't seem to be very logical. Maybe we should give IB a little bit more time to get used to these new contracts. I don't think we can do anything right now. Do you also get the DOM for TNL? At me they keep on updating. It's the only thing I get! Be good, nononsense

    Alternative Indicator to ADX,+DMI,-DMI

    Hi Ditch, As I know Blau's ECO is based on double exponential filtering and two timeconstants are involved. Do you keep both set at 13.5? I have been experimenting with ranges 25/13 down to 11/4. For the signal line I used 5. Be good, nononsense

    Have System for SPX and NDX... what do i trade?

    Hi thereuare, I am not sure if I understand you correctly. It seems to me though that you are inconsistent. How can you claim to have a system if it doesn't stand up in the market? Simply refuse to consider something as a "system" if it doesn't make enough money for you. I believe that I...
