I trade it if it starts having some good moves. It is usually good for at least a couple of good moves. If it is just slow chop / congestion then I fold it up. There is often a good morning move or two before the afternoon slowness hits. If I'm in a position I get out at least 5 mins before the...

I think conventional wisdom is no change or 1/4 then they tank it. 1/2 point and we get a new leg on the upmove. Of course what's conventional about this market?

What's the plan for trading the system on the Fed day today?

Thanks for the heads up.

I'd hate to think that fuzzy Pete has now burst on the scene here on ET with his hideous French grammar, drumming up interest in his fuzzy software. Please say it ain't so. Any long time omega list members will know what I'm talking about.

Dave, I'm very happy you started this journal. I wish you the best and will be mostly silently following along. Just wondering a couple of things about you and your system. Have you got your system programmed into a piece of software like TradeStation or Wealthlab or do you have it in...

You do have a UPS don't you? Power outages are definitely something you can do something about.

I already bought one for about that price, just was wondering if there was a way to bring this thing back from the dead. That and I enjoy a tinkering project from time to time. I may even take my first try out on Linux with the old computer - been thinking about this for a while.

Daniel made some good points about vendor journals. But for me the following quote just about sums it up. So in the name of research and new ideas I say let them post. Just keep the blue pencil handy in case they turn it into (too blatant) an infomercial.

Just goes to show that there are many ways to be skinned. We all have our own unique weaknesses, each of which we need to overcome to trade at our potential. This is why IMO some of the generic advice given out may be worthless to one while invaluable to another.

I figured I'd post this here instead of software because I may need to reformat / reinstall to get this computer working again. An older 333 AMD K6-2 now gives me the error when I attempt to boot: (something along the lines of ) error reading drive C, Registry is corrupt. Retry, Abort...

I was sort of joking about that one. Sort of. Anyway I think if someone has more than 10 posts deleted by moderators within 30-60 days of their registration then they probably should have their account automatically suspended. I'm not joking about that one. I also don't think it would be...

I agree that it is out of hand especially with one certain individual. Here are my two suggestions: If someone has more than 10 or so posts deleted by moderators, their account automatically gets suspended or deleted. If someone starts a thread entitled something along the lines of...

I couldn't figure out what the title had to do with the post the first couple of times I read it. Post it again with a more descriptive title and I'll keep all the snapple facts out this time.

Launch a DOS window. Type ping www.yahoo.com or some other website. See how long it takes to respond. Do the same for your hub (probably IP# 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1). You may also try typing ipconfig from dos to see what your configuration is like. Make sure you're using the right subnet...

If you're on NT/2K/XP, see if your CPU usage is 100%. Sometimes a "rogue" process can tie up the resources so that IE won't run or will run on a big delay. Delete your IE cache files. Do you have this problem when no other program is running? Also, see how many instances of IE are running in...

You obviously wouldn't buy it so why do you care to create a hypothetical to prolong the argument?

metooxx: Is there a magic $ per tick # that makes arbitrage less attractive for a contract? For the EMini what would that number be?

Actually I think the solution would be dual electronic and pit traded big S&P contract. The pit would be gone within two years. You may be right about the .1 change on the EMinis. If they ever do change to .1 ticks then I sure hope this is the case. It's not like I wouldn't rather pay $5 than...
