    If you buy american you need to be familiar with the phrase (and repeat it once a day): You get what you get and you don't get upset.

    Tick-level backtesting tools?

    Have you tried tradestation and/or multicharts? I use tradestation and while it has definite limitations (no portfolio testing) it is very fast when dealing with very large amounts of data (tick data for say CL for the last year). I don't trade live with tradestation anymore but as a...

    Source for Free historical intraday stock data?

    Have them sign up for a free trial with QCharts or Esignal, then cancel before 30 days are up. If they're overseas can't they just buy pirated data anywhere? Tell them to ask the dude on the corner selling DVDs

    Source for Free historical intraday stock data?

    Why is a big firm like Bright looking for free data? Remember, you get what you pay for. Tradestation has plenty of data for their subscribers. QCharts too.

    Futures Broker : Velocity or open ECry ??

    OEC is now owned by optionsxpress, so they may be less likely to go under than before. Then again who knows..... I've only used OEC and I like them -- that said I still do most of my trading with IB.

    Murray new S&P500 and T-Bond Systems

    The survivor systems (energy, russell, dax) all have long successful track records (the energy one goes back 2 1/2 years successfully). They're awfully expensive though, and I have some questions about the developer's integrity. In August he stopped trading late in the month when the profit...

    Just noticed these scummy options exchanges charge 1.50 to cancel

    The cancellation fees are to prevent bots from moving orders all over the place and then pulling them when they look like they'll be hit. Most brokers will offset them with execution credits (not sure if this is done by the exchange or the broker) but generally if you have one fill per five...

    Murray new S&P500 and T-Bond Systems

    Not true. Of course it is true most of the time, but not always. For example there are a few systems on Collective2 that work, but most are land mines just waiting to be stepped on. Believe it or not, there are people out there who can write a great trading system but just do not have the...

    stocks forecasting a DEEP RECESSION

    Did the crash in 1987 forecast a deep recession? if so, it didn't happen. Markets cannot be used to accurately forecast anything, and certainly not their magnitude. Did the dotcom collapse forecast a depression? That's not to say we won't get a deep recession .... just that you can't...

    IB trashes account - what would TOS do?

    Can't you set "liquidate last" on specific contracts? I don't know how it works with spreads but with single contracts you can definitely specify this.
