    Charting --- who uses what?

    Austrader and parttimetrader: one 11 and the other 12 postings, hmmmm..... Having evaluated both RT and EOD I can say that I threw them in the garbage bin. Ah well, your milage may vary :confused: Their exponentional moving average does not look like any of the other vendor's...

    Search a good Hong Kong market quote/chart provider

    just use Metastock professional or TradeStation 2000i with an interface from www.hypertrader.it (free) and use IB's data. If you look at stocks then quotetracker works wonders too. But IB does not provide backfill so you'll have to let it run to accumulate the data.

    how does the computer know what country you're in?

    Half right, half wrong. Your local ISP has an IP address and this IP address is assigned. From there it can determined which country the IP address has been assigned to. Yes you can take it abroad but it still is originally assigned to a particular organisation / institute / business etc...

    Iraqis Drag U.S. Corpses Through Streets

    I am talking about the countries that I stayed in and worked in where there is a large poverty base, lots of corruption and where people have been so much tiranized by rulers that they do not care about more suffering. I am not talking about the US. Just look at my handle for one of the...

    Iraqis Drag U.S. Corpses Through Streets

    And the ordinary population regards that as one dictator replacing another dictator. That has always been their history when there was a change of power. In these countries it used to be that anyone who dares to question the current ruling regime was very quickly shut up (permanently). Now...

    Iraqis Drag U.S. Corpses Through Streets

    If you have ever done any business in any of those countries then you'll quickly discover the value of the saying: "Actions speak louder than words". Having a contract there written up means nothing, looks like it is more a letter of intend than anything else. Basically they regard as...

    Iraqis Drag U.S. Corpses Through Streets

    Some of the stuff here is not in line with reality and is an over reaction. If you do that (pull out) then you are the same as the Spaniards (give in) and then the terrorists have won. Unfortunately the problem is they do not stick to their own locality - don't forget that they came to the...

    New PC Specs

    the size of the cache has a major influence on performance. The bigger it is the less time is spend getting the data in and out of the CPU. Cannot help you with more than that, have no personal experience.

    Looks Can Kill You: RAMOUTAR REPORT VOLUME 11

    Going back to the basics is exactly what I have done. In the case of trading that translated into interpreting from the charts how the "mob" (or in Wall Street terminology: the "goats" - just tongue in cheek) are likely to react to the situation at hand. Then I take my position accordingly. (the...

    POLL: IB TWS vs J-TRADER, Which is more "Reliable"?

    Cannot vote because I cannot compare between J-Trader and IB. Voting would be meaningless. Perhaps you can change your poll: eg - Are you happy with XYZ - Do you think it needs reliability improvement - do you think downtime due to internet - do you think downtime due to server of XYZ -...

    Looks Can Kill You: RAMOUTAR REPORT VOLUME 11

    You may also want to study Feigenbaum, Total Quality Control. I prefer him above both Deming and Juran. But do not forget the fat tail outlier of the bell curve that happens in trading (and not very often in manufacturing). Peace :)

    Looks Can Kill You: RAMOUTAR REPORT VOLUME 11

    It all depends how you "papertrade". If you use a proper simulator and you account for realistic fills / slippage then this can prepare you to a certain degree (even a very realistic level depending on how you are doing it). Peace. :cool:

    Stay or go ?

    Is not the saying: Those who know do, those who do not know teach, sell, write books etc? (this is not related to your present job but to Wall Street) There are plenty of threads about the snakeoils in this industry. You may want to take a look at Ramoutar's thread and see if you can pick...
