    TT vs PATS execution speed

    I just received an email from TT. There are some add-ins that work with the standard version but most require PRO. PS Trader works with the standard version and gives you OCO functionality.

    TT vs PATS execution speed

    Is that an add-on feature? How did you get it? I'm using x_Trader standard and haven't seen it.

    Just realized we wasted money fighting cold war

    The Truth About Dubai The instigators of the current furor seem entirely ignorant of reality in the city of Dubai, the second largest emirate within the UAE. As J. Henderson discovered on a recent trip to Dubai, the city is the furthest thing one could imagine from being a hotbed of Islamic...

    Economy In Crisis

    One day I started looking on the web for the actual statistics, % demo/repub/independent/other and it did not seem readily available. Anybody seen these numbers?

    Free-market "failures" and South American socialism

    Hydroblunt, and others, who think capitalism is a bad thing I really reccomend the book I mentioned above. It seems that the terrible consequences you talk about are due to mercantilism where governments get involved in businesses, not capitalism. The book also makes an excellant...

    Iran vs. USA: First round

    Any recent news on the Iran Oil Bourse? It's supposed to go live this month. I hope they didin't build it anywhere near the nuclear research facilities:D

    More Americans are losing their homes

    I think this article is written to make the problem sound worse than it really is. For example, instead of saying that foreclosures are up 88% since last year in could be reported that foreclosures have increased from 0.126% of households to 0.237% of households. The numbers say the same...

    Economy In Crisis

    In the days of Adam Smith, liberals were defined as those who advocated laissez-faire capitalism. I wasn't trying to bash Clinton in my previous post, I just think he gets more credit than he deserves for the unprecedented prosperity of the late '90's. One good thing we had in the late...

    Economy In Crisis

    Well at least we can agree that the economy was strong during the late 90's. But from your statement you must think Clinton created this strength. Really? Which of his economic policies was responsible?

    Economy In Crisis

    This statement says it all, good job Libertad. If this one area could be fixed all other problems would sort themselves out. But how does it get fixed when the rulemakers have no incentive, and even a dis-incentive to fix it?

    Economy In Crisis

    The ONLY politician I respect is Ron Paul. If you think Clinton was so great then you are obviously the gullible one. If he was so financially responsible why was he against the constitutional amendment to balance the budget. Also his so called balanced budget still raided social security...

    Economy In Crisis

    If you look at the two, can't you see that taxes are unreasonably high already? And in comparison, there is much more fat that can be cut in the spending department. Anyway, I think the situation is so dire that raising taxes alone could not even solve the problem if the rate went to 100%.

    Economy In Crisis

    Right now, you're being an ass. How do you know who I voted for? Your entire statement is FOS. If you think that the democratic & republican parties are working in your best interest then you really are as stupid as you make yourself sound.

    Yield Curve: What a pathetic site

    Another perspective could be that the free market is pricing the long end while the government is manipulating the short end. So over the long run, market participants expect rates to stay low or go lower. Which can be translated into market participants don't see any global financial...

    Oh boy.. more gloom and doomers

    There is no surplus and the SS trust fund only holds non-marketable US Treasuries. SS tax revenue is currently greater than SS benefit payments, but the politicians are spending that too along with even more that we don't have.

    Economy In Crisis

    The US Financial position definitely looks bad. However, the rest of the OECD countries don't really look much better. Check out the attached spreadsheet. Also the public debt is over $8.2 trillion, but only $4.8 Trillion is held by the public, including foreigners...

    Free-market "failures" and South American socialism

    There are no socialist aspects to Hong Kong. What they have there is a limited government. You seem to be confusing any government with socialism. Hong Kong actually has a CEO, rather than a mayor or president. And when you mention UAE I assume your talking about Dubai where the ruler has...

    Interest rate neutral zone

    When they talk about neutral interest rates they are referring to a rate that does not promote nor restrict expansion of the economy. Obvioulsy there is no way to know what this rate is and since they make a decision every 6 weeks while the effect of those decisions takes months to filter...
