Already closed my shorts, went short 7th Oct at 1.2194, got out at 1.2041. Went short again at 1.2075 on the 17th and closed out at 1.2002. I think there is a likelyhood of a sideways channel and reward : risk ratio is pretty good. This bottom is pretty strong, was not broken earlier and was...

Going long here at 1.1966 Expecting up move in excess of 1.2250 or so. Tight stop. Maria

Dad was a database specialist. He reckoned that there was too much hype about the relational databases and that in a lot of cases there is no need for a relational database. Performance wise the relational database is a dog. His notes state that in trading - with the sequential stream of data -...

Would not switch at all if I can help it. Why change a standalone package to a monthly payment based package? It is still current outside the US. My view is similar to spike500: If you cannot make money with 2000i then you cannot make money with 8 either. It is only a tool. Maria

Hi guys, I have just loaded Python up this week on my backup PC and am still far away from anything real usefull. At this moment my needs are for some simple interfacing but I am wondering: is there any charting out there that is using Python? Thank you Maria

Trading in the weekends is opening oneself up to more bucket shop tricks. Just take a look at the close this last friday with the e-mini - Euro-USD and the full sized EUR-USD contracts and the squeeze that happened in the e-mini just before the close. There was a spike of around - 70 pips at...

I am always suprised that people who depend on a computer for a living do not have a decent backup / recovery procedure in place. if you can go into the directory you may want to do an "attrib -s -h -r" command to see if there are any hidden files etc in there too. Then search the internet...

no need to have outlier trades :( if you trade forex then the stops may be triggered by bid & ask levels when market thin ("Globex" hours) then MM can see if there is anyone else and suddenly widen the bid & ask (have that happen to me). If there is a stop , well that gets then...

Just downloaded the live CD and booted one of the laptops off the CD. Looks great and seems to work all fine! Even found the wireless network card. Very impressed sofar, try running XP from a CD, LOL! Some questions: Has it a firewall build in Can I run a windows program under it...

Nononsense what do you regard as a good brandname? Thanks Maria

Trade longer timeframes is the best way. But that is only if your system works on all timeframes. Maria

You may want to consider a time based stop. Maria

dad was in Hong Kong when the housing bubble burst and he mentioned that it was not nice to watch. (Retirees loosing overnight all their assets and not knowing what was happening around them.) Same thing with the .com bubble when the oldies were getting their last penny from under the...

I remember dad mentioning that MicroShit's goal is to go to a lease type form of using their stuff. I perceive the first steps of this have already been taken with the implementation of Windows Product Activation (http://aumha.org/win5/a/wpa.htm) and it gives me pause to think about a dependency...

Looks like your findings support my father's. Thanks for the feedback. Maria

Normally have a 128K ADSL but use dial up when travelling. Used to get away with 19.2K with the IB datafeed for RT but after moving to another datavendor 33K is required. Still good enough for backup though. :D

Thunderdog, Originally patents were used to encourage development of stuff that would not have been developped otherwise due to the high costs involved (eg medicines) and what was for the benefit of mankind. These days it is being used for extortion. The exhorbitant prices being charged...

Went short early after the start of the Globex session on thursday evening when the price hit the upper band of the downwards channel. There was also an election in New Zealand and that one also shaped up to be a cliffhanger, much like the German election. We were expecting a similar outcome in...

Thanks. Just closed the trade @ 1.2105. (cash market - we use the futures data and trade the cash :D ) No need to be too greedy, waiting for a new opportunity now. Maria
