Dear hmap1, I really am trying you to help you but it doesn't sound right to me! Don't tell me that a company like yours, employing a few programmers and that breaks even year after year can't spare a modest $1000 to get started with my proposed scheme? Let me ask you one more of these...

hmap, This is really funny now. (1) So you have one system that does not scale. Some people have such a system and get a steady income out of this. Join the club. (2) You also have a system that SCALES! Goodness, Gracious! Lucky dog! Sorry that I underestimated you, truly sorry! If...

Hey Harry, Who talked about mysticism but you in this thread? The fact that two posters asked you a question doesn't mean that they believe in it. Then, where do you get your figures from? Did you give up on statistics? :cool: For my part I asked you what you mean by it (in the trading...

Did I not write the following: "Granted that you will rapidly run into a SCALABILITY problems, the fact that you beg here pubicly for capital is not credible!" In your reply you seem to recognize this saying: " Our main system is limited to the AMOUNT OF MONEY it makes on a monthly basis...

Dear hmap, If your "black box firm" story holds any water, why do you still have to beg for capital? I am not going to annoy you with making some calculations about what it means doubling your money every month. This has been done over and over. Granted that you will rapidly run into a...

Hi Igor, I like your question as a starter. nononsense

Jack, Reading attentfully Scientist's post, I fail to see were he talks about P-V relationships, except that possibly something about it might be hidden in Larry Harris' book. Scientist joins his warning though: "For those here who have a copy of Larry Harris' "Trading & Exchanges", you will...

BSAM, Nice of you to come back to this. The funny thing of it all is that in spite of my old Java, the SSL thing kept on working all the time till about a good week ago. At that time I had not changed anything to TWS. It quit out of the blue on me! Nothing important, it's all solved now...

Hi V-Viper, If you didn't know yet what "random" means, a number of well intended ET fellows just gave you a demo. In truth, as you are going to find out, the cult of "randomness" is taken quite seriously on ET threads. I hardly know of a more furiously discussed topic. As I would like to...

Only recommeded for those who can't get there with the book alone. nononsense

Jack, I don't mean to bull$hit, but for a know nothing like me it would have been a little easier if you would have told us someplace what you are trading. I can kind of guess it but with all your bull$shit about helping newbies, little nononsense finds this a little hard to swallow. It...

Hi all, I just read an article on the editorial page of The International Herald Tribune (NYTimes). The author doubted, given the present state of NASA management, they could still get a man to the moon. The story goes they would first camp a little on the moon, do some excercising and then...

Hi All, Allow me to break into this high brow topic! I personaly believe that these questions are not going to be settled too quickly. For the next couple of 100 years, people will advance a lot more theories and change their minds a couple of times about this. Harry's list of historical...

Thank you easyrider, I'm glad for you! Talking about gravel, I always kept a few of Jacks 'nuggets' in my archives. I don't want to distract you from your panning with that old stuff! I don't mind Jack hanging around. I sincerely wish him lots of success in his audience as in his trading...

version77, Allow me to be the devil's advocate. Maybe NinjaTrader,ButtonTrader or any of the others are not the "best" connector to the IB API. Isn't this what John means by saying: "Yet that's pretty much what they are doing, and what their developers are marketing to the public when it...

Hi all, After installing j2rel1.4.2_03 everything is OK. I didn't have to reinstall TWS v815 to get SSL going. Thank you to everybody! Your information was quite helpful. In fact, like many of you I had a version of long ago sitting in the .\WINDOWS\system32 directory that I was pointing...

BSAM, Thank you for asking. I just realized that I was indeed pointing to the old Java sitting in my windows/system32 directory. I had upgraded a long time ago with the java now sitting in a Program Files directory. However repointing to the correct directory didn't solve my problem. I was...

Hi Def, Many people seem to volonteer some clever schemes to enable IB to do better. I think that a lot of this is pie in the sky stuff. As for me, I can live with IB's current feed. As others also confirmed, it is one of the best in timing. Ticks seem already to be missing leaving the...

Glad I threw my Qcharts in the garbage can now almost 4 years ago. From what I red in the meantime it is going from very bad to worse.

Hi propensity, I want to inject a few thoughts on this. Look a bit around under API at ET (careful, some people post a lot about API's but don't know what it means). You will find quite a bit of leads. After you develop and get online and get profitable (or at least don't loose your ass), you...
