    paranoid ? or is Google tracking me - and you ?

    How about Google collecting Wifi access point info from neighborhoods when they do the Street View van... Is it naive to be concerned about that too? this goes overboard at some point... no, I don't care that they try and you can shut it off if you don't want to be tracked anyway but Google is...

    paranoid ? or is Google tracking me - and you ?

    Yeah, Google's adsense has a tracking feature that "targets" ads to your browsing patterns. You can turn it off if you have an account. I started seeing MetaStock and other trading specific ads showing on non-trading websites which I thought was rather strange and did a little investigating on this.

    Goldman Sachs E-Mail by Montag Described CDO as ‘Shi**y Deal’

    Because they request them and the firms send them. They cannot avoid this because the "requests" are usually are in the form of subpoena and they have a whole bunch of white shoe law firms tripping all over themselves to get this kind of business. Easy money for lawyers and usually a gigantic...

    ShadowTraders.com

    she's not affiliated with TOS (that I know of). This is a different website than their shadowtrader . net. The name similarity is confusing to most people until they read about what this one is about. This one is shadowtraders . com

    Alien Invaders

    I think it is silly to think that if aliens existed they would have any interest in our natural resources. The fact that they could even travel here from another solar system or galaxy shows that they have advanced so far ahead of us that the notion they need gold or oil is absurd. Hawking has...

    IB GBP futures charts messed up today

    I'm not bashing IB because all data is subject to bad prices like this... It is nice to be able to filter it out when it occurs... I see it sometimes on the daily historical charts too but hopefully this is just a one off this week...

    IB GBP futures charts messed up today

    Can't you just edit your data manually and remove the spike? That's what I did... it is better than waiting if you rely on it for intraday trading... if you can't do this then you might want to investigate other charting solutions... this kind of thing is more of a regular occurrence than not...

    What happened to EUR future at 8:38pm?

    this is why I stopped trading FX on globex Sunday nights, this kind of stuff happens all the time but usually you only get busted for 30 ticks or so this is another matter altogether. surely those trades will be busted though... 2 and 3 are so far from the market that those cannot be real...

    CL Redux

    Not exactly, it is a $10 max move but the limit resets after 5 minutes of a cool off period. It then opens back up and a new limit is placed on it after that and so forth. I've seen it limit up and do this back in june 2008 and it traded for more than the $10 price limit in a single session...

    IB Changes Futures Pricing

    yeah, they lowered commissions for lower volume traders but raised the bar for the higher volume traders to receive the 1st level unbundled price discount from 300 to 1000. I'm probably going to switch back to bundled because they have raised the bar 3x above what it used to be to get the first...

    As others have said, the sooner you get the word "never" out of your vocabulary as a trader the better off you'll be. Just like when you originally posted this thread, crude jumped up over your "Never hit $135" price shortly after then if I remember correctly. You might want to rethink any...

    Congress To Skip A Budget This Year

    Saw a good movie recently called I.O.U.S.A. check it out if you haven't already. We're so f*cked, it's only a matter of when not if at this point. The status quo will continue until we drive over the cliff. The sad part about it is when the I.O.U.S.A movie was filmed the debt was *only* 8...

    IB TWS is a mess compared to Etrade Pro platform.

    Does etrade have an API? FIX? how do their commissions compare with IB? end-user trade software is only one concern when selecting a broker. How many outside software platforms support etrade?
