I read yesterday that it was going to be turned into a real product by the company, and that they've been flooded with requests. They estimated mid-2006 as a probable launch-date.

I'm expecting my brand new HP hw6515 to arrive any day now, which runs Windows Mobile 2003 (will be upgradable when they launch the 2005 version early this fall) and supports EDGE for about 250 kbit data-transfer. Since the phone-networks are different it may not be as applicable in the US, but...

Great shots from the rib-bibs! Excellent!

I agree that ET has much better layout thatn T2W.

I check that site out from time to time. It's pretty good, strong UK focus, a bit too much forex and spread betting, but the people there are in general more intelligent than your average ET-poster.

I'd not say I'm experienced since I've only demotraded forex, but since the questions are quite simple I'll answer anyway. HotSpotFx operates an ECN of forex-orders. When orders cross in their ECN-book a transaction takes place. Yes, this gives you an order book to look at, with orders from...

You could check out "The Market Maker's Edge" by Josh Lukeman. I've read it, and I found it a pretty good read at the time. It does describe some of the tactics, tools and techniques the MMs used a couple of years ago. It may be a little dated now (I haven't traded US stocks in the last five...

I'm currently looking at forex interbank trading, and am wondering what I could do to lower commissions whilst being able to do some volume. IB does look promising, but I was hoping to find something with lower commissions than .2 pips which has real liquidity (not the bucketshops). From what...

What's the largest you've seen quoted?

I am curious as to how much size you can do in a spot pair like the Euro before you take out the market. I understand that they don't show that much size (3-5m each) but that they refresh so that you could do larger orders. The question is, how large. Could you easily do 20m? How about 50m...

A. About 2-3 years. I only traded a few months two times, and slowly eroded my account down to trade pennystocks. In between I beat myself up a lot, read more material, watched the markets and convinced myself that I had to work on my discipline. (And I had a job all the time). I also...

I've got a feeling it could be good for London real estate close to the arenas. Should be able to let them out for a fortune during those two weeks. Probable going rate would be 1-2 years of "normal" rent for those two weeks, if the place has top-notch facilities and is in an ok area. (I...

what's the weather like in lala-land?

southamerica, I completely agree with your insightful analysis. The facts might be hard to swallow from a US point of view, but most international analysts would agree that this pretty much sums it up. The greater question is the headline of this thread, and more importantly how we can...

I made the switch to Opera just a few weeks ago, and am very satisfied with it. It's got a few nifty features which I like a lot (mouse gestures for instance). I haven't tried Firefox. I have IE still installed as backup.

I disagree with your implication that a great trader shall be profitable in all markets. Although "great trader" is not a precise and objective quantifiable term, I think my personal view of what a great trader is is different from yours. Of course, that doesn't make me more correct than you...

1. 20-50 trades per month. Some in the same stocks. Mixture of volatile stocks and trading smaller moves in index stocks. 2. Holding times between 5 minutes and 5 weeks. 3. About 55%-70% of trades profitable. 4. Most of the profits come from a few big trades, and riding them to the max. The...

I'm a pure discretionary trader on the Oslo Stock Exchange. So far this year, I'm up 85% (it's not a small account).

Since Buffet runs a tiny little company known as Berkshire Hathaway, he has to post quarterly financial statements. Thus he takes his live positions against the USD and enters into his books the profit/loss since last quarter. So q1 was a loss, but and I bet he cares about it too - but his loss...

I would welcome interest from companies that would be interested in a franchise office, or interested in facilitating the necessary technology and market access for a partner. The city is a capital of a small European country - has no competition. Start-up capital available. Might be...
