I know the custom DLL is there, I run it in administrator mode, and the program seems to have issues. When I search their forums, they tell the customer they want to come in remotely and look at the issue. I am not comfortable with that. Anyone know how to fix this? Code works fine in...

Well, to be fair, that was just bad PR on John Roberts' part. The reality is that with software, there are never enough features and that there's always a list of items that have to be addressed in terms of priority. We have no idea how much %'age of revenue that one corporate client was for...

rofl. Hilarious.

The cost is the biggest thing. My 30 day trial is almost up, but I think multicharts was invaluable. Once my trading income hits a certain point, I will start leasing MC. For now, it's very easy to trade with TS and hit the 5000 share mark, so I'm sticking with it.

If you go to school, do it for something worthwhile. Don't get some liberal arts degree. Otherwise, prop trade. Bet heavy, bet hard, and if you lose, wait a year until your tax returns look really awful and then try to get more financial aid for school.

Quit your job, or try to get fired. I guess I'm a risk-taker by heart and sort of feel like consequences be damned. This is a dangerous mentality, but the reason I am this way is because of the sheer disappointment I face in living my life day to day the same way I have been. We have...

-$19 yesterday +$13 today (2600 shares) At one point in the day, my system was up around $45, everything was firing correctly, money was rolling in, I'd never been happier. Then that GS news hit, blew out all my predictions, and I was experiencing a nightmare, live. I made the decision...

Take some programming classes, work out the math, and let the computer do the number crunching for you. Props for being mentally handicapped. I know I am.

-$19 yesterday +$13 today Yesterday, I was a victim of yet another programming mistake. It's safe to say I do not have the kinks out of my software by a long shot. Certain hedges weren't firing, so I had to manually close positions at a loss. Today, I was in the hole $200 because I got...

Yeah, I'm from Chicago. I probably picked it from a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows your friend.

It's good politics.

Dayyyyyyyyyum, son. Brutal. You couldn't have avoided it, though, because it happened overnight. Question for you: if you only held intraday and closed all positions out over night, would these types of events have generally been avoidable?

Never tried this service, but is it possible to parse the output of these rumors with a computer program? How close is the rumor transmission time to the time of the move? I'd trade it, if my computer can get me in and out for a few cents, otherwise I wouldn't touch it -- mostly because...

Just wanted to comment; I was working on a DLL for TradeStation today and realized that they probably can't ever become multi-threaded without some serious implications for old software. The reason is that if their strategies became multi-threaded, then all the DLLs (like TSKit, ELCollections...

Tell my broker that. I don't make the rules; I'm a retarded peasant.

Because unless you have a margin account, you have to wait for settlement before you can re-use the capital. But also because when you're trying to move funds between accounts, settlement interferes with funds movement. Also, if you hedge the movement in one account with another account, and...

I'm too stupid for futures. Will stick to stocks.

Is MFC the recommend way to write windows applications still? I never quite figured out how Windows programmers choose their toolkits, and when I ask most developers, they all just say use .NET.

Out of curiosity, where did you find the documents to program that beautiful MS-Office style ribbon UI? Looks beautiful.
