I would have to disagree with you there. You can, but within certain constraints. As long as you are 100% focused on trading WHILE you are trading you can. I know traders who just do the openings and the first hour and then go off to a full time job. This is particularly possible for you...

QUIT NOW. You set up some rules, now you must follow them. If you don't quit now, then you're breaking your trading rule... when to get out. If you do it here, then you will (or already do which may explain your losses) while you're trading. Stick to your rules. You can come back...

You should have 0 slippage. MOC gives you the closing price, that's it, just use the closing price in your backtesting, no slippage. Same thing if you enter with a market open. You get the opening price. For your backtesting, just use the opening price. I guess slippage sould be possible...

You hit the nail on the head there, def. ANY business where obscene profits are being made will always draw in more firms until economies of scale and consolidation bring about a more efficient market. That's exactly what has happened here. There used to be tons of daytrading firms out there...

Those do have the numbers on the charts, but I need to get them in a "grabbable" format. In other words, one where I can grab the HTTP text and parse it for the data. The servlets and such don't give me that capability. So, I'm still on the lookout.

This is what I found so far for those interested: Volatility: http://www.pcquote.com/stocks/QuoteDirect.php?ticker=lu Average Daily Range: http://www.investertech.com/scripts/esydata.dll?Report?stkname=ibm (I think this is the $Range row, then use one of the Avg columns) Beta can also...

I'm looking for a website that will allow me to put in a stock symbol and get the following: Beta Avg Daily Range Volatility They can be on different pages and I can use a different site if need be for each of these, just trying to find the info online from a FREE site. Does anyone have...

I concur that it can definitely do it, except that they've got a newer version that is not so bandwidth intensive. you might want to talk to them about it.

I love snow! It's wonderful! But only if there's more than 36 inches of it, it's on a mountain and it's only underneath my skis:D

How many traders do you guys have now?

My first trade was Sybase. I think it was in the summer of 95 or 96 (I forget). It was when it got wacked big time. I knew it was a good company with a solid product that I used. I went over to Schwab, opened an account and bought it. I was looking for a short term pop. I got out...

I'm pretty sure Tradestation should do this.

So, when you put an order out, how can you direct it to ILND vs. ISLD? If there are no fees on ILND, I could see people going there for executions as opposed to going to ISLD.

BBBRRRRRRRR!!!!!

machine, so sorry for your loss...:D Go Canes! Carolina kicking Canadian butt at their own game!:cool:

Can anyone tell me about the Austin area? I understand that Texas has no state income taxes. What's cost of living like in the Austin area? Property Taxes? Pros/Cons of the area? I hear it's hot, but a "dry" heat. I know that when I was in AZ and the temp was 98, it felt like an NC 76.

But then you'd have to live in SC! Anyway, whatever O'Neill may do, the states will still make sure they get theirs.

Chomp. Munch. Gobble. Chew. So, that particular item won't help me:cool: I think Property tax is pretty low in NV. 1%?

I know a guy who moved to Lake Tahoe, NV side and his income tax savings is making the house payment on a house there that's twice as big as the one he had in CA. But for me, Vegas is too hot and Tahoe/Reno is too cold. And there's not much in the middle.
