    IB or Oanda or ????

    LOL. Those are the hottest ping times I've ever seen! Are you on the same router as these two? IB are quoting the sort of ping times that you normally get (anywhere from 150ms to 400ms would be good for most people in most of the world). Awesome connectivity!

    Does IB take responsibility? An amazing story

    If you are this unhappy with IBs options policy why not just find another broker? It just seems stupid to me to keep doing something one is unhappy with when the solution is just to do something else. Don't you think?

    IB or Oanda or ????

    a) "shabby" is your value judgement b) "better not to offer a product" brings your judgement into question. Another beginner.

    IB Horror Story

    Hasn't this one been done to death in another thread? Wasn't the outcome that IB explained how their policy works and some liked it, and some didnt? Almost a philosophical split between personal responsbility and (if I recall the quote right) IB should behave like a member of your family (or...

    Brilliant presentation by Ken Reid on the 3 genetic trading types

    Personally I found the talk well worth the time. As someone who went from calm rational end of day trading to sweaty palmed 3 minute trading and lost all of my discipline I think there is a lot to learn here. Then, this morning I got the latest email from www.innerworth.com and thought...

    Why do Pivots have credibility?

    lol Electric ... good to chat to you again :) I didn't answer the question. The weird thing is that I know people who do use pivots effectively (as you know, I don't, and havent changed my trading style since we last talked). They're just like any other form of support and resistance -...

    Why do Pivots have credibility?

    So I guess that means that you guys couldn't make them work. Ain't trading a wonderful opportunity for opposing opinions.

    the basic flaws in TA

    LOL. I think you might be right (thought experiment of subtracting one filter from another giving a notch between the top and bottom suggests that you are) but to prove you wrong I'd have to spend hours getting out my old text books which is too hard. I'll concede :) Except of course on the...

    the basic flaws in TA

    Yes, when i think about it, I do mean low pass ... but my real points were that: - the momentum interpretation is not wrong - tuning, as you suggested, is also not wrong And, despite all the crap talked in this and other threads, very little in trading is "wrong." The challenge is simply for...

    the basic flaws in TA

    I would argue that the base macd is the difference between two bandpass filters (two moving averages). Stockcharts is correct that you subtract one from another. SC is also correct that this provides a measure of momentum. If you doubt it take the case where instead of 12/26 as the base...

    IB and sierra?

    The backfill can be quite extensive depending (i think) on the contract ... I used 60 days at one stage and that worked. I've since wound it back to 10 just because I'm usually only getting 1-3 days so it seemed silly to leave it set so high. But you can get more extensive backfill using...

    Cheapest real-time charts?

    lol. If the tradestation, sierrachart and esignal guys were as loud here as the quotetracker guy they'd probably get accused of something. Free advertising Baron?? QT is an ok package for some uses. There are quite a lot of users here. But it isn't the greatest thing out there in the...

    Cheapest real-time charts?

    If you dont like adverts or just dont like quotetracker then try Sierrachart ( www.sierrachart.com ) or Ensign (more features for fib fanatics especially), or perhaps the old tradestation 2000i which can all be hooked to Interactive Brokers data. On IB data being "first grade" ... when you've...
