And I thought the heat was all coming from Joe Biden speeches and Dick Cheney shotgun shells.....

This sounds interesting and if it works as described I'd definitely pitch in.

I can't read that website, the font is too damn small. What the hell are they thinking????? Edit: I stumbled around in the haze and found my 6 inch thick glasses. That site is the biggest load of bullsh*t since http://OJDIDNTDOIT.COM or http://MICHAELJACKSONISNORMAL.COM. My monitor was...

Maybe you guys should have listened when they told you if you don't stop, you'll go blind???!!! Anecdotal evidence is wonderful but doesn't prove anything. My parents both read a lot as children, my mother needs thick glasses my father never needed them. Proves zippo, nada, maybe even less...

You could also use a stop limit which IS native to GLOBEX (with a limit price low/high enough to simulate a market order) and would reside on the exchange itself. Then it might be visible however, so it might be subject to someone running your stop.......

<i>Optometrists will claim that myopia is an inherited condition but all the evidence shows that it's a behavioural condition. </i> What evidence? Your personal research involving you, a trained monkey, and Al Gore :D? Links to your research please???? <i>If people were born with myopia...

Today I can't generate statements at all, all I get is: "Content Encoding Error, The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression." I get this with firefox 3.0. With IE6 I just get a blank page. Attempts to download...

And what will power the cable modem and/or dsl modem/FIOS router?

I think you mean the <b>bears</b> will be on you :p

I've been hosting my "server" (really just Windows XP) at home since 2005. We're having construction done on my home so I had to move the trading elsewhere, hence renting a server (no setup fee). I have a decent size UPS but I discovered today it's not enough (I left my home trading PC...

As a follow up I discovered their UPS powered down following a power issue. according to their blog they have an issue every few months, I guess I just happened to find one early on. Do the providers you guys posted ever have short unplanned outages? Is it possible to find one which never...

I rented a dedicated server with sago networks which was highly recommended. I ported my ATS over to the server and let it run for a few days without any problems. I turned it on this morning since I'm home to watch in case of problems -- bingo they have a power failure, no ETA. I guess...

Tradestation goes back to around 2001 for most electronic futures, some earlier (their website has details). You can also get many futures from disktrading.com, or QCharts.

If you're worried about Citi, move your money to Lehman, Merrill, or Wachovia....oh wait never mind. :eek:

It's my understanding assignments happen overnight as the shares are cleared through OCC. So you'd wake up the next morning to find yourself assigned. Never been assigned though so I can't be 100% sure.

Some options for historical data: IB provides data down to 1 second intervals. If you are receiving the live feed then it is about 10 times per second (but the data itself does not have a timestamp unless they changed this very recently). And the 100 ms snapshots may miss the true high/low...

And when you say charged, you mean they beat you with a large cane at $10 per contract? Would you rather pay $1 per contract with IB and pay cancel fees or $10 at Optionsxpress? If you cancel your orders enough (and don't execute enough trades to offset the cancellation fees) move to...

I thought it was "Cramer: Be like me ignore common sense"???:confused: :confused:

tradestation has the data as well. I can't guarantee quality though.

What about illegal inside information? I don't think anyone is currently providing that on their website. Oh wait, GS already does that. I hope you are not building this from scratch -- there are plenty of free tools available to host blogs, forums, etc. Just throw a bunch of them...
