    Spot Swing High's / Swing Low's

    That would depend on what your definition is for a sideways/choppy market.

    Spot Swing High's / Swing Low's

    That's a separate issue from what the OP was looking for, which was a way to identify his definition of a swing high/low. There's nothing to or not to like. The 3 bar delay is a byproduct of his definition of a swing point. You simply can't declare a given bar as a swing point until after...

    Spot Swing High's / Swing Low's

    TradeStation includes two functions; SwingHigh() and SwingLow() that will find exactly what you've described here. Also, "realtime" in this case would be a 3 bar delay before your swing pattern is confirmed.

    HFT reached the absolut limit in minimizing delays?

    Converting from fiber to copper is a telco issue, it's not a problem with a computer LAN since the conversion occurs on the network card at CPU bus speed, which is much higher than the fiber network speed. Yep, and that's not a conductance problem, it's because of inductance. The...

    What makes you think they're not already using fiber?

    What was your first computer

    Hold on! Just because it used LSI to shrink the processor down to 4 chips did not make it a microcomputer. The difference between a micro and a mini had nothing to do with size. It was all about the difference in processing power and an I/O bus that could support multiple users...

    What was your first computer

    My bad, I/O errror, read "10," processed "11." Agreed, the 10 was successful. But, it wasn't the first commercial timesharing system. That goes to Dartmouth TSS which ran on the GE-200 series mainframes.

    What was your first computer

    First off, the PDP-10 had a 16bit address space, the maximum memory it could have was 65K. Second, it was a minicomputer, not a mainframe. Nor was it the first mini. It was a successor to the PDP-8, which came out in the mid-60's and was the first commercially successful minicomputer, but...

    Visual Basic

    VB <> VB.Net You need to learn to resist the urge to append ".Net" whenever you see "VB" by itself. The two are worlds apart.

    Visual Basic

    That doesn't change the fact that VB6 is closed-source, single-platform, and no longer supported. Bugs that still exist in VB6 will exist forever and it will never be extended with new features or get an updated IDE. It's fine for maintenance purposes, but it's a non-starter for the basis...

    Six Digit Social Workers

    Hope your government worker friends are salting away their earnings because this is not going to end pretty for them and most of the other non-essential government workers. As was the case in the private sector when outsourcing became the rage to reduce the cost of running the operation by...

    IRS Sons of dogs!!! Grrrrrrr!!!!!

    Define "good." Good, as in getting you to pay the least tax legally allowed, or good at getting your taxes below that amount? If it's the former your CPA should have no problem clearing the misunderstanding up with no impact to you. If it's the later, and an IRS special agent comes...

    Is the American Empire on the brink of a swift and total collapse?

    Dude, seriously, Hitler? I'd call you a fucking moron but, my money's on you being too stupid to procreate.

    The world will run out of IP addresses in 340 days - now how do we play it

    All commercially available operating systems have had dual IP stacks for quite some time now. For those that don't there's a fist full of IPv6/IPv4 translation layers that your packets have already been hopping through for a couple of years now. When the time finally comes to switch IPv4...

    The world will run out of IP addresses in 340 days - now how do we play it

    This is so not new... RFC1335, May 1992 A Two-Tier Address Structure for the Internet: A Solution to the Problem of Address Space Exhaustion http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1335.html Many others have followed since to stave off disaster and another one will, probably already has, been proposed.

    Mark Haines of CNBC is a A-Hole

    Dude, you need to do some serious review of history there... The Vietnam War began in 1955 and the last I checked, a republican was in office at the time. As far as WWI, the war started in 1914 but the U.S. didn't enter until 3 years later. In fact, Wilson had won his second term based on...

    Wow, apple holding an actual conference about the iphone 4

    The same applies to any new product from any company, not just AAPL or MSFT. If you buy the 1.0 release of anything new you're just paying up to be a beta tester.
