As for myself, I could not tell if it were also malicious, but I have confidence that one of the thousands of other users out there would have found it and cried wolf by now. Just like when Kazaa first came out. BTW, slightly off-topic, but related...for those of you who must use Kazaa, be...

I have no idea.

I am using the Google toolbar and it has a great pop-up blocker. A friend of mine who works as a network admin recommended this for hunting trojans and such. Its free and is updated like anti-virus software. I ran it yesterday and it ranks the stuff it finds from dangerous to harmless and...

Should I be scanning flash webpages? How can I do that? I use Norton in active mode and it alerts me to anything malicious, but as far as I know it does not scan each webpage or the code that may be on it. What do you security gurus suggest as the best way to protect against all of this? I...

Is there an effective way to find keylogging software that is installed? I run Norton anti-virus and I am behind a hardware firewall (Linksys router) but you can never be too safe. I noticed on the link posted above to some keylogging software that it said it would not show up in the task manager.

I know that Assent (Andover) has an API you can interface with...not sure what feeds they offer though, I've only used them for stocks. They once mentioned that I could host my system on their servers if I wanted, but I never pursued that option.

I agree with AAA 100%. Ask for real statements over a long period of time. Think this through to its logical completion. If they had a system that was making money for people you would have had 1000 replies from the millions of customers they would have. And an even more basic...

I disagree with you too. Personally I would much rather read the trader interviews and profiles than anything else. Almost no one is going to write about a winning method. These are written mostly by journalists or vendors, not traders using the method to make a living. For example, in the...

I try not to complain about my trading, since I am the one who decided to trade a certain stock, but in some cases its been so blatantly bad that I made a rule not to trade them under any circumstances (and to kick their dog if I ever see it). WLP and ATH - I used to trade these two with...

Sam, If you already have TS2000i and the system is reasonably simple as you say, then I think you should at least give it a try. While some would say that 2000i is "outdated", it is usually by those with an interest in you subscribing to their new product. I use 2000i for everything I do...

I don't dispute anything you are saying. As an econ grad myself, I understand your argument. But its statements like the above that make it hard for traders to take academia seriously. You mentioned that you were a trader and you are predicting the Dow, but you don't know what DIAmonds are...

It may be helpful to find the "quota" that makes one deal better than the other. Is there some number under 1200 in a month that you would have to do at ffasttrade in order to keep the ffastrade deal the lower one? $3.32 * X (equivilent # of contracts) + $550 (platform)+ $139 (esig futures...

Well it only happened once, and the stock took off to the upside, so I wasn't calling anyone about it. :D

The only time I haven't had a short filled was when it opened a penny above me. Anything wider than that I have gotten.

LOL :D

Can you say "Pump and Dump" boys and girls? I knew you could. What I want to know is what drives someone to research the water bottling industry for a whole year? :p

LOL...for only $325 you too can have the secret of the bands. Sheesh... Here's a freebie to save you 6 and a half ES points. Take the part of my code with the plot statements inside the squiggly brackets and use them in an indicator, that will give you the "new" RSI (RSI with BollingerBands...

Ok, glad its close. Looking at those dates, the long trade in 12/01 qualified with only a slight dip of the RSI (its probably just small differences in our data that caused that), and the two others that mine missed would have triggered if I took the signals after the RSI crossed back inside...

Trades in the QQQ since 01/01/2000. (Oh, BTW, technically the trades start 50 bars into 2000 since that is required to get the 50 EMA...my data only goes back to January 2000.)

Trades in the SPY since 01/01/2000.
