And you are a low grade political propagandist, interested only in pushing you extremist right wing notions. I'm not interested in propaganda videos - show the peer reviewed scientific publications of the deniers. Betcha you can't. Which really says a lot. Your pet web site is run by a...

NASA animated map of the world showing temperature anomalies since 1880. Pretty much tells the story: http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/animations/a10_1881_1998_6fps.mp4 And the home page for NASA GISS temperature data: http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/

You are, to put it bluntly, an idiot. The first chart is not even a chart of temperature. Read the Y axis label. It says Z-Score. A Z-score of what? The second chart conveniently ignores anything before 1960. So what if some earlier prediction was inaccurate. Science advances and a lot more...

Ridiculous rubbish.

Huh ? What gap up today?

The thing that should really raise eye brows is that it should be perfectly possible to develop semi-automated systems to monitor this sort of behavior. All this is hardly new. Why then, is such monitoring not done on a routine basis?

That is just so much rubbish. I have my own software (Java based) that uses IB API. I hadn't updated the API for a long time (more than a year). A couple of days ago, I downloaded latest API. It took me all of half an hour to make a couple of minor code changes, and I was up and running. You...

Hmmm, USB sticks are not very fast. The wikipedia entry must be mad to claim 100 times improvement. You'll be lucky get 30 Mbytes/Sec over USB. Compare that to 80 MByte/Sec ++ for modern hard drives via SATA II. It might be useful for random access to small files, but for for sustained...

You will still have a significant advantage even for 32 bit software as any given program can use up to full 4Gb. That 4Gb of memory is not being eaten up by the operating system, buffers etc and other programs. More memory will often help system performance overall even if an individual...

If you want ES futures data, you need to specify: contract.secType = 'FUT';

One other reminder for anybody new to Swing. Anything that causes Swing components to be (re)painted should be done from the AWT event thread. You may or may not have problems if you don't observe this discipline. See SwingUtilities.InvokeLater () or SwingUtilities.InvokeAndWait ()

Here is a somewhat old but do doubt still relevant article on optimizing JTable performance for "real time" apps: http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/ChristmasTree/

As I pointed out above, it's not the table or the grid, it's the cell renderer(s) that need to be optimized if the default one isn't quick enough. They are where all the work is done. Though on a modern machine with a decent graphics card, out of the box may well work fast enough and it makes...

I'm not here to deliver a packaged trading system for you. And in any case, exit rules need to adaptive. No it's not easy - it's damned difficult. For example, todays reaction to earnings and housing - what to infer from that? Just because it can't be packaged easily doesn't mean it's not...

Here is the sort of thing I mean, illustrated in the attached chart which is an unweighted index of 13 stocks from my watchlist of shorts selected a week ago. When the broad market is overbought(ish) you have to ask yourself where are these stocks going to go when the broad market has a bad...

No it's not a belief of mine - it's bloody common sense. Over the fairly long term, a majority of market participants have gained through holding stocks or mutual funds or pension funds. Why? Because equity markets have exhibited a tendency to go up over the long term and those market...

Why? And why do you seem to think that flipping coins or generating random numbers is any sort starting point for making money from financial markets? Does it aid understanding? Can't see how. Do scientists studying physical phenomena start with randomness? I don't think so. They may use...

JTable performance depends almost entirely on your table cell renderer which is by default a JLabel. You can improve performance by fiddling around with the cell renderer. I don't have any performance issues with a JTable of 100 or more high volume stocks (inc SPY, QQQQ etc) showing bid...

It seems we are all in agreement. Must be a first on ET.
