How about on a PERCENTAGE basis ? Better yet, how about on a percentage of contract dollar change divided by overnight dollar margin required ?....highest number = best one to trade.

Not the best. Index options (NDX, RUT) get preferred 60-40 tax treatment and your commissions will be 1/3 that of ETF options.

Are all ETF's permitted or only selected index ETF's ?

Good stuff....it's wonderful to hear Java continues to get faster ! I'm running ThinkorSwim, but they have not given the OK to move-up to 1.6 (at 1.5.11 right now). BTW: Have you tried running both QT and TWS at RealTime priority ? Any reason you are running Windows XP, a non-realtime OS, vs...

Exactly, and don't forget the perks that come with it....have you seen his wife for instance ? What's funny is that Bolling admitted he was trying to sell that HUGE morning rally on Thursday morning and he finally quit selling S&P Futures around 10:30 am.....only 1/2 hour before it "topped"...

Uh...yeah, so don't expect a new all-time high anytime soon...and if you check some ET posts about 1 month ago, someone remarked about absolutely HUGE short bets in the S&P Futures market. That was the "smart money"....Lehman, G/S, M/S, etc. The bounce will sooth a lot of nerves and keep the...

Has anyone used this for selecting stocks based on their pre-defined scan codes ? Any idea if they will ever support user-defined scan codes so that custom scans can be performed ?

This is good thinking and I concur. Big rebound, followed by more downside, but much slower this time....slow and agonizing for the bulls. Perfect strat: Buy calls, sell after bounce, then sell credit spreads on calls....and just keep selling 'em.

Love that show...but despite Bolling's reputation, his "long GOOG", "long GLD" trades are really getting hammered. No question he was right on crude and gasoline. Interesting to see that these trading "gods" are not that immortal. I often wonder how many of them just got lucky...

Good stuff...glad to see it is working. To solve the OLEAUT.DLL problem, do this: Hit: Start, Run Enter: regsrv32 c:\windows\system32\OLEAUT.DLL Note: if your windows directory is named differently, use it instead.

Any details please ? I'd like to resolve this ASAP. A small change in the set-up/configuration makes a huge difference. Note: I just discovered this program has several software PATENTS behind it.

I mean WOW, it's apparent you have ZERO patience or tolerance ! (You trade for a living ?.... yikes.... no patience has ruined many a trader !) Just reboot and configure it for AUTOMATIC mode....do NOT use DEFENDER MODE. To configure it properly, you must first turn it off/shut it down...

OLEPRO32.DLL is part of the VB6 run-time package. I would reinstall (in Safe Mode) the entire VB6 service pack 6: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290887 This will re-register everthing as well. Good luck and be sure to report your result.

Not true....I'm running ThinkorSwim's platform and it's solid....and all Java. I would bet that running TWS on a Linux platform would be much better.....Windows/XP is just horrible.....there are too many things (mostly useless) going on....and Java is relegated a low priority (I think Bill Gates...

Is Global Strategy Trader a licensed version of Strategy Runner or a completely separate piece of software ? Just wondering why you posted it here, that's all.

See my posts in the Software section. You need www.prioritymaster.com to boost the javaw.exe program for you to REALTIME and to lower all other apps in priority. Also, best to run with a lean O/S like Win2K. WinXP has just so much overhead....it was never meant to be a realtime operating system.

Something is wrong....that has not been my experience with them....especially email...always answered within 12-24 hours.

Interesting crash observations Art...thanks for those. I see that our friend the Russell 2000 is not showing great bias for tomorrow.....today's action was somewhat choppy, and totally back-and-forth, but net-net, it was weak as heck.

Again, the author has no experience with trading software....I discussed that with him. He made a huge mistake in making a "category" named as "CD Burner" IMHO. There are many other programs that fit into that category....including realtime charting/quotes as well as process control software...

No it won't.....Despite the 50 million lines of code, Windows XP is pretty "stupid". It doesn't even know you are running a realtime piece of software for instance. It rarely, if EVER, does this....especially if you have a modern CPU. It's an emergency-only situation. But they did not design...
