Disconnecting the United States and South America Make that commie Spaniard-born, Fidel Castro, the emperor of South America.

Very simple. Read up on trend. If the trend is up: buy; If the trend is down: sell.

hi all, how is good ole IB going to learn something from what we try to explain in this thread?

Get yourself nightly t&s data as published by the exchange. Check for missing ticks. If you want to check timing accuracy of your real-time feeds, for each tick you will have to append time data from a precision local clock for subsequent postmortem comparison with the exchange nightly data.

Not necessarily. A fault in the electronics part - even a bad plug/cable connection could cause the same.

Stephen, I don't like to post too much, only when things get really crazy. You understand the art of loading up big piles of fuming pretentious nonsense - supposedly being related to speculation of course. Skipping the long list starting with neural networks supposedly helping you understand...

This is a real pest. That's one of the reasons I only used motherboards to build my PC's. This saved me lots of headaches with hp/compaq, dell and like bloatware crap. I only touch clean Bios. This becomes a problem right now with the very low pricing of bloatware based crap.

Final answer: "The Suicide of the West". We got there. :mad: It's not today's Mr. President's fault but of those many millions of dopes who voted for tens of years for that bunch of good-for-nothing fools.

Did you look ad their ad? "Futures data are time stamped to the nearest minute, tick-by-tick, for the day sessions." Not sure what that means. Anyhow, I wouldn't call that Futures Data "tick data", even if it's pricey.

Don, Is that so? How do you know this? nononsense

The right way of looking at this goes as follows: (1) make an exhaustive study for your "well defined" trading strategy about it's risk of ruin - roughly speaking, find the drawdown you are willing to live with. For many strategies this drawdown can become arbitrary high when extending your...

man, No arguing about this. You should use what works best for you. FYI:

During days long past, bear markets were undestood as very useful times during which society returned to a state of economic sanity. In our days, bear markets have become times of preparation for increased levels of economic insanity. Politics is to a major extent responsible for driving...
