Isn't Fair Value sort of useless for Intraday trading? This is calculated once a day using yesterday's closing value of the S&P. It's only supposed to tell you something about what effect program trading might have on opening prices. What do you mean 'the difference between long and short...

Make sure you are using an othernet server. Click on 'options' than at the top where it says 'irc servers' choose 'othernet random server.' voodoo

But you still have to take the exam, don't you? Or do you have an API for that as well :). (I think this test is pointless anyway, I have no problem with tests required for people who manage retail customer's money, or give them advice, but why do they require the test when you trade your own...

hmm... I run RealTick on a Pentium 2, 286 without a problem. I used to run it on a 486/66mhz without much problem either. Though back then I never opened more than 1 or 2 charts, a minder and maybe one Level2. During busy markets it was always the 56k modem that got clogged up first. voodoo

Couldn't the session cookie expire only when you close your browser? Don't most people close their browsers once they're done browsing the web? Or how about updating the cookie every time a page is hit. That way the new thread info would reset 15 minutes after the user has stopped browsing the...

If you mean non-commercial chat, that would probably be the #s&p channel on othernet. Using mirc connect to an othernet server, then /join #S&P. I think it's one of the most popular channels on othernet, do /list to see the full list of channels on that server network. voodoo

I took the test and only got 10%. "Sorry, your results were not up to par." lol. The questions were trivial, but the time limit killed me. Oh, well, I'm just a lousy programmer, guess I wouldn't make it as a market maker. Have these guys never heard of calculators? Or software for that matter...

This is YAOTT (yet another off topic thread.) I looked at the picture. The thing is efficient because it doesn't let you use it inefficiently. With a car you can step on the gas pedal and burn a lot of gasoline, then break, step on the gas pedal etc. This thing, when you speed up, will...

Thing is, almost every European country has a tax treaty with the US. So I guess you'd have to check the particular tax treaty the US signed with your country to make sure what the rules are. And since some of these are a bit hard to understand, you might want to consult an attorney...

I think a reasonable solution would be to limit some of the less popular catagories (Tools of the Trade, Derivatives, etc) to no more than two or three 'hot' threads on the home page and use that space for the more popular threads near the top (heck, it's not like space is at a premium -- you...

There is no option for "I'm not loosing any money because all I ever do is post on elitetrader.com" ;) voodoo

You used computer translation for that last message, didn't you? ;) This one works better: http://www.google.com/language_tools Let me try my French: IB, c'est nes pas un pipe. Merci, et bon apetite. voodoo

Unlike voodoo, I'm not going to call you confused because anyone can have a bad experience. Apologies to alanrof. I was referring to the name change. No offence meant. I trade with IB as primary because the fills I get are slighty faster than on RT... The fills are faster on IB for the...

Does anyone know what the licensing issues are, why is it TS6 for the US and 2000i for the rest of the world? voodoo

Does this also happen when you tracert beacon.taltrade.com? voodoo

You're slightly confused. MB-Trading always had the best customer service and support. It didn't merge with TerraNova, it was always a branch of TerraNova and has changed it's name to TerraNova-MB (in what I still think was one of the dumbest moves in terms of branding/marketing I ever saw, I...

As I said above, you can trade your system, but only if it's inefficient. And if that's the case, why not simply change the system? I wonder if there are any situations when trading your system is easier or more efficient then simply altering it. voodoo

DT-WAW: We just optimize losing system into a winning one! It is possible in some rare situations. +20, +20, -20, -20, -6 The above is not a loosing system, it's just a string of five numbers. These numbers could be the result of either a positive or a negative expectancy system...
