    SP trend following System

    acrary - is that buy on a BREAK of the highest high of the past 15 bars or just at the high of the past 15 bars? Same question on the stops. Did you test using a breakout of the 15 bar price channel or just a touch of the channel?

    Shorted 1000 QQQ at 25

    minime - Not tax dollars - just extreme oversold market, heavy short interest that's being forced to cover, some panic buyers jumping on the bandwagon, and maybe some realization that perhaps the economy isn't heading into depression. And remember, bear market rallies can be more ballistic...

    Always in Trading

    If it's copyrighted material, you've got a valid beef. But if it's not copyrighted (and just because someone compiles information and posts it to a website intending it for a limited target group doesn't grant an automatic copyright) - forget it, that's just the way it is in the fast lane (or...

    eSignal wish list : the dedicated thread

    cartm - I believe that if you want to run eSignal into more than one computer at a time, you'll need (and pay for) more than one eSignal account. So assuming that's correct, you might want to decide whether you want to pay for two datafeed accounts first before trying to decide about...

    Exits-- targets vs. trailing stops

    Not trying to have an all or nothing solution may not be theoretically optimal, but seems to work pretty well. By exiting half your position at a profit when you get near a key resistance level (or even if you just perceive momentum evaporating) you can lock in some profit (in case there's no...

    Best Pro Real Time Analytics software.

    Realtick's datafeed is great (it's expensive so it should be), but I don't think its analytics and charts are setting the world on fire. They work fine, but they're hardly state of the art. There are lots of chart/analysis programs out there with lots of different features for various...

    This Program has Performed an Illegal Function

    Tripack's right - if you're doing development, don't fool around with the "mom and pop versions" like W9x and Wme. If you're trying to do professional work, get a professional OS - W2K or WXP (even the older NT 4 was completely stable - I never had a crash in over 4 years of using it and I...

    can anti-virus detect keylogger?

    BTW - Van Ecking a monitor is limited to a few hundred meters max - not "miles" Re: key logging vs. virus - totally different animals. AV software isn't likely to detect a key logger program (which has usually been installed through normal (rather than surreptitious) means (they need...

    Antivirus thread - preventing trojans and keyloggers

    Carl - while I'm also dubious that we'll see true JPG-only based viruses, it's never a good idea to underestimate the opponent when it comes to security or assume that just because it hasn't been done yet that it's impossible. Your comment about a "properly designed" JPG routine not being...

    Antivirus thread - preventing trojans and keyloggers

    Carl - the point McAfee was making about JPG infection is that the current scenario requires the machine to already be infected by Perrun, however most viewers use a common JPG decompression routine and their belief is that it is possible to configure a JPG file that would scram the routine...

    Antivirus thread - preventing trojans and keyloggers

    Carl - actually there is a special class of virus that McAfee showed about 4 months ago related to the Perrun virus. It infects JPG files. There are limitations and I haven't heard of any actual non-lab infections, but McAfee believes it's possible for a variation of the Perrun virus to...

    Charting Software Q

    Geez, Louis - you're selling your program now on that it can print a chart?? To original poster - you can export a JPEG of any chart in QCharts. You can then print them or combine them on a page and print the page. For example, if you have 6 charts you want to print on a single page for...

    What is the symbol of emini on Quote.com?

    Bigboy - Formats for futures on quote.com are XXYYM, where: XX = contract identifier (ES or NQ for the S&P and Nasdaq eminis) YY = last two digits of year M = month code (for index futures it's H, M, U, Z for March, June, September, and December expirations)

    Quote.com and ErlangerQuote

    Interesting how Chuck from eSignal manages to turn a thread about Quote.com and ErlangerQuote into an ad for eSignal. eSignal advertises on the site so you get a lot of latitude, but how about you stick to threads about eSignal instead of dropping ads on unrelated threads just because...

    Is there software that can do this?

    Re: Stock Watch Pro - if you love poorly written software that crashes frequently, you'll love it. Do a search of the archives for references to it (ignore the spam by the Crontech programmer) - seems to be a lot of other people who experienced similar quality problems.

    Indicator Software!

    What you're calling "indicators" are just ticker symbols that can be seen using most any datafeed (actual symbol format may vary, but you can view them pretty much on any datafeed) - nothing special in the "software" to view them (they're not like technical studies which can vary from program to...

    Anyone have the formula for Connor's CVR?

    CVR 1 = Long if the VIX hits a 5 day high and closes below its opening - Short if VIX hits a 5 day low and closes above its opening CVR 2 = Put an RSI on the VIX and extreme highs/lows on that RSI supposedly signal a reversal CVR 3 = Assumes a reversal coming if the VIX gets 10%+ from its...

    Swing Trading E-Minis w/ Trade Prospector

    Jasper - I use TP for daytrading and multiday swing trading (multiday at least when the darn market moves in one direction for more than a day anyway). I don't explicitly trade their trading bulletin because I've got my own trading plans and methods, but I refer to the bulletin as a...

    Dec S&P's Trading at a Discount!

    Futures kept selling after the 4pm equity market close if that's what you mean by futures selling at a discount. They're not really at a discount, they just trade beyond what the cash indices will reflect.
