I got Larry Harris to come to the conference too. he's an expert in market microstructure. wrote a book and currently working with the SEC. i saw an article on thestreet.com mentioning his name. it was about decimalization and minimum tick size. this is an area he studies. these are...

i want to monitor trading details (like last trade) in excel. i know i can write a small app to fetch from internet, but am too lazy. i found www.ESQuotes.com and they seem to have done this already,and for $15, but only allow 300 quotes per spreadsheet. to monitor 1,500 symbols would be...

MAE is maximum adverse excursion. look it up on the web if you've never heard of it or try: http://63.215.121.72/Web/TeHelp/usingTEMFEMAE.html there's also MFE for Max. Favourable Excursion. anyways, i have done some research and found that both simply find volatility of a stock. In other...

AGF Managed Futre fund, see: http://www.agf.ca/ps001/ps002/ps002a/pdf/manfutures.pdf for details. new manager this year has very interesting results. was the derivatives guy at AGF, and then handed mgmt of this fund i think in Feb'02 or so. i know the guy, he has many small hits to achieve...

you gotta get a kick outta sites like CNNfn posting charts next to stories proclaiming markets "hard hit", complete with detailed explanation, and then right next to it, a chart showing indexes in positive territory. just goes to show how much they understand. should be more like: "we have no...

my GOD man! if you are plannng on doing something like this, try a little harder, or don't post the CSV file. it's a dead simple thing to figure out when all the starting prices are the same if i'm wrong, then please ignore this post ;) /j http://toronto.tasug.com

what's the diff? looks like all the functionality availale in IB API exists in dynaorder. what am i missing here?

first, test the system for efficacy like in the article in Dec issue of Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities. the test can be modified for your specific time frame. next try adding a volume indicator like the one here: http://www.amibroker.com/library/detail.php?id=209 Amibroker is...

why do you ask? are you a new to the business? 30 years of anchoring to the notion of indefatigable markets caused many to wait it out and continued to hold onto positions. leveraged players lost most. other lost less. there are some winners, but, as in weight loss commercials, "results not...

25 posts is better than 90 if the 25 are good posts. quality, not quantity, counts. that's the problem with these boards, too many yahoos making stupid posts just to get their counters up. wait until ET sets up ranking systems. then we'll see who moves to the top. in the meantime, for...

sometimes, non-quitters never win too. this has been an especially difficult market, and people are leaving. i don't think you can ever quit. rather it's re-group and re-capitalize for another day. this is much more likely course for the majority of traders/investors. here's some advise...

regulation is always directed at brokers. you probably mean dispute resolution goes against small investor, and even so, this is incorrect. there are bad brokers, but just as often there are also bad clients. clients too often try to rip off firms simply because they have losses. i was...

are you trying to give elite trader a bad name? a little harsh, don't you think? The bigest problem with Canadian stocks is there aren't many with wide ownership. This means low float and low turnover. This is normal when compared with similar exchanges. it may seem abnormal when compared...

Amibroker is an excellent program. way ahead in many areas (like AddToComposite function and scripting capabiliites). AB can do all of the aforementioned (tester functions), but can not directly present results in such a grapical way. i use AB and the ADK. it is an amazing combo. very...

the firm is CIBC's Investor's Edge, and you have to ask for the cross each time.

MS8 has full range of stops and both entry and exit limits can be based on user formulas. user can also formulate position sizing, order timing (GTC, etc), order type. the layout is very functional and reports are excellent. this is a much improved system tester. in fact, i think it is the...

per last 2 posts, the 1% is based on amount over your foreign content limit, which would normally be 30%. if you have $100,000, 50K in foreign (all based on cost), 50K cash, you would pay a $200/month penalty (=1% of 50K-0.3*100K). as for currency spread, if trade is done on same day, yo may...

you will have difficulty finding that rule, but all you have to do is call your brokerage for confirm. not true. NT,PDG in the US is exactly the same as NT,PDG in Cda. many TSX stks are listed on NYSE too, when buying in an RSP you must convert to US$ but settle in Cdn$. in the conversion...
