So would I. The distinction I make is relative. The OP wanted to know what is best (and would meet his needs). I told him what is the best. You recommend a product that is merely good and more expensive than the particular product I have in mind. But I expect most will agree with you as this...

Agreed, when I talked about "other" firewalls and routers referred to I was talking about the Linksys's et.al. of this world. The netscreen firewall is another quality product with it's own advantages. The OP wanted to know what was the best. Perhaps he really wants to know what is most...

I believe this is something of a misdirection. The strengths of Cisco routers does not lie in their availability, certainly not at the low end of the market. Of course, the perception is that they're the best - that's why they have #1 market share - but that status is down to their consistency...

By best i think you mean most robust. That can mean many things and i won't go into that here. I assume you don't need most of the software features usually implemented on a router. Some assumptions: - No need for dynamic routing protocols: You're at home and can configure routes manually. -...

The current recovery is based on hope - hope being a good thing which can take the market a long way. Hope though is fragile and can be crushed during times of structural change. I would say that there may be a "correction" against the joy induced from the knowledge that a Bernanke put...

Generally agree, though not with this choice of simile. The sons/daughters of these people often experience success due to a pre-built contact base, incestuous professional relationships and a general shortest path to relative success not available to the average youngster in life. A highly...

Had a quick look, isn't this forex only? Otherwise it does look interesting if you don't want to get your hands dirty with coding.

Stratasearch is stocks only I believe. the company has plans to widen the product's scope but that's some way ahead i think. I'm interested in it too, but for different reasons to you. If you want a good backtest platform with no coding then the best I'm aware of is Trading Blox. I don't use...

No. The OP's postings have been balanced by and large though I think the interest in Niederhoffer's misfortune strikes me as odd. Most other contributions have been childish and ammount to grandstanding.

If unsubstantiated claims were removed from ET then this forum would be a very cold and empty place. Almost everything I read is unsubstantiated. I would suggest the admins are sensitive to is the latent tendancy around here towad character assassination. When that is based on rumour and...

What is implied when recommending fixed risk/reward ratios is that you always trade with stops. But depending on a system's trade profile stops can be unacceptably detrimental to overall performance, ie. you'd be significantly better off taking the hit on outlier trades than placing stops...

While there isn't a bracket order type construct in Tradersstudio I think you can simulate the same kind of thing. Take a look at the Cancelorder function and ammend your entry logic such that if one limit order is hit the other gets cancelled.

You seem to have a handle on the market. Perhaps you can tell us how long "the Bull" will be back?

Precisely, not enough history to make that kind of assertion. There are issues around using PE's to value the market vs history but the issues become insurmountable if one only uses 25 years of data.

I haven't read the contribution of the respondant claiming that valuations are historically low so i don't want to say too much. However, I would have to enquire how much history is being referred to when making that assertion, and how said low valuations are being quantified. Using...

There are no doomsday scenarios in play here. The market has been pricing in rate cuts, imminent cuts. The absence of such makes the risk of greater damage to the financial sector and hence the economy, so that's being priced in too. The Fed's still focussed on the wider economy, as it...

This is an interesting point and points o the heart of the matter. What drives the market. Certainly, the fed doesn't - it lags the market. So, my stance on market reaction following any Fed cut would be: 1) Relief rally with short term opportunities. 2) Another down move as the reaction...

Without wishing to seem offensive I think you're letting paranoia get the better of you. A far more plausible answer is that they're a small company and some idiot leaked some viral code somewhere and 'cos their internal systems aren't well protected the offending code got onto a web page that...

Multicharts is not a serous product. Or if the developers are serious, it is certainly unsuitable for anyone with serious intent. It has too many design flaws in areas that really matter to traders. I paid for MC a long time back and have since sidelined it to a support role. What I do use it...
