    Silver

    I have gained interest in Silver as an investment vehicle. I have read much of the info in the "Gold and Silver" thread, and found it usefull. I am fairly up to date on a lot of the reasons why silver has potential (supply/demand, ratio of silver to gold, dollar action relative to other...

    Does IB ever respond to e-mails?

    I sent an e-mail once, and got no response. I am able to get them on the phone however, and often find them to be abrupt (not all of them however, not fair to bash them all)

    RealMoney.com

    I've had a subscription, and you can get some detail on particular events when they happen in the market. But my overall take on it's insight is this: "a whole lot of nothing"

    eMesa system

    For what its worth (I am the one who started this thread), I purchased the tool prorated through the 9th. After evaluating it, I cancelled it before the 9th, so that I would not be billed again.

    Let's all chip in for Gordon

    I know this will sound harsh, but here goes: GG has made over 2000 posts on a trading board, while grinding the account down below minimum, and neglecting conventional work skills at an important age. That's not a trading career, it's a gambling problem. I wish him the best, but the...

    FRE, FNM, mortgage REITS ?

    I'm not making any predictions about what will happen, but I do see how the housing maket could drop with low interest rates. If employment does not pick up, or gets worse AND most people who want to/can afford to have bought a house, then demand drops. If people see a drop in house...

    On open orders?

    Opening orders requires VERY close attention and meticulous management, and mistakes in execution will hurt you very quickly. Personnaly I would no do it with an account that does not support MOO. IB supports MOO

    eMesa system

    well, did a few backtests going back to 5/2/2, results are +$8487.14 on one contract, whick isnt bad considering "NEXTBAR" gives you the penalty of opening price on nextbar, whereas the signals are generated somehere midbar nearly everything I have previously backtested using e-signal's...

    eMesa system

    OK, I'm going to eat some crow here, the efs provided by emesa was not in the backtesting directory, and I used btEMA by mistake btEMA is actually exp moving avg, and it used the THISBAR, but it was dated y 2002 The eMeas efs DOES use the NEXTBAR, so my remarks about e-signal not fixing...

    eMesa system

    One other thing, in fairness to eMesa, is that their claims in the promotion were NOT equal to he backtested result that e-signal's tool gives you. although they did mention that slippage and commissions were not counted. I think it is safe to say that slippage would not be equal to an entire...

    eMesa system

    One possible explanation, that could mitigate the previous post, is that eMesa DOES give a message of "sell at tomorrow's opening -X points", or "Buy at tomorrow's opening + X points" So that COULD make the tool profitable, even with a negative backtesting result (using next bar), as the...

    eMesa system

    Well, I purchased it through e-signal, $150 per month, but the billing cycle is on the 9th, so I only have to pay pro-rated though then, and have this time to analyse it Looking through the backtesting tool on e-signal, the results are AMAZING! But, under closer examination, the...

    Can a Graduate Degree from Oxford U help me get a salaried position in trading?

    "trolling" basicly refers to a poster who makes posts just to cause trouble, and does not stick to the spirit of the forum "flamebait" are posts (something the author himself may consider stupid) designed to encourage an angry response he then makes a sucker out of people who take them...
