    40yo's new career or bust

    40, I think if you have a passion for this thing, you should at least give it a shot in realtime. However, don't burn your bridges (and/or your capital). There is no guarantee for this thing. And what sounds good on paper doesn't necessarily translate into reality. (I've learnt...

    Does anyone use Quotes Plus' service

    ============================================ Thus my question really is which one has best fundamental data with affordable price. ($87.33/month offer from www.dailygraphs.com for corresponding service is too expensive) ============================================= I've found VectorVest...

    Does anyone use Quotes Plus' service

    They don't have 20-min. delay data, unlike TC2000. You can only get the data after market closes. Besides, there are more resources--add-ons, discussion boards, etc.--available for TC2k than QP2. Yet, for a similar price (~$30), you also get commodities and mutual funds for QP2, but you can...

    NexTrend real-time has raised price

    You might want to try eSignal's competitive trade-up. I was using Quicken Quotes Live, but when they shut it down, I traded for the comparable eSignal (150 symbols) for $38. $38 gives you only "standard" realtime charting, which is a joke. Therefore, I use Amibroker instead for charting and...

    Intermarket analysis with Vantage Point

    AAA, That's exactly what I want to find out before saying trading off such relationships is problematic. Perhaps, I don't have as much experience as you have in the markets, but I do believe there's order in the markets. And, long-term relationships are built of short-term ones. I'm...

    Intermarket analysis with Vantage Point

    rcreal, Why did you say pricing bands and probable highs and lows aren't useful? Personally, I don't trade off, e. g., Bollinger Bands, but I refer to it once in a while and I think it's useful to at least some traders. And what problems do you see with Neural Nets and Genetic...

    Intermarket analysis with Vantage Point

    AAA, I agree with you in part. I don't think the correlation between any two markets is 100%. Right now, just as you pointed out, even historically low rates can't seem get the stock market going. But you can't just look at the correlations between the bond and the stock market...

    Using options for swing trades

    Just want to add. In my opinion, the best issue for which you want to experiment more complex options strategies is the QQQs. In fact, it might be simply be the best place to trade options: small slippage; extremely liquid; strike prices often only in $1 increments.

    Using options for swing trades

    I am. But two things could really eat you up, based on my experience. (1) slippage. For illiquid options, the slippage could be as high as 35 cents to 50 or 60 cents. (2) low delta. That is to say, if the underlying makes a move but the option you have hardly does so. Time decay...

    Put/Call Ratios for Bonds and Commodities

    Does anyone know how to get sentiment data (put/call ratios) for bond and commodities markets--similar to the VIX or VXN for stocks? Better yet, is there a data provider/charting package that can do this sort of thing? Thanks in advance. stock.

    Intermarket analysis with Vantage Point

    Volker, Thanks for the tip. But can you give me just some rough idea of how you can do it? Do you write a correlation program using $SPX, $TYX, $CRB, $EUR as variables? I'm not that technically savvy as far as writing computer programs is concerned. I'm sure Weath-lab, TS, and...

    Intermarket analysis with Vantage Point

    I was wondering if anyone ever used Vantage Point's intermarket analysis program (www.profittaker.com)? You pay a whopping $3000 for the program and then $995 for each market module. They claim it can forecast the market with 80% accuracy. Is it just hype? I do like the idea of...

    that's American ...

    Cesko, Give me a break. America's intellectual and cultural heritage owes so much to Europe. Think about Einstein. How about the U.S.'s Constitution, which owed so much to John Locke? I don't deny that America has its own intellectual and cultural contribution, but don't...

    that's American ...

    "never"? The institution of the EURO has been a remarkable achievement. What more can you expect from a region with so many languages, diverse cultures and traditions, and long histories? You only need to speak English here, and don't forget the US has only about 200 years of history with a...

    that's American ...

    While America is no doubt a great country, whether it's the greatest of all or not is something to be left to the judgments of history. What I like about America, amongst other things, are the following: (1) Most Americans are honest, decent people: you can't find many places in the world...

    Do you speak Engrish?

    Your English? Yes, English is all you know. Europeans easily speak two or more languages. Singaporean students score far better in the verbal as well as the mathematical portions of GRE (Graduate Record Examination) than most American college graduates. Enough with the American ego...
