    Is it worth it??

    What's so special about X-trader. I use BT and it seems to fill all demands I have. Anyone having used both can shed some light here? BT isn't free but a LOT cheaper than what X-trader is quoted for. With IB behind it you can trade almost any future (and stock) in the world. Ursa..

    Going short YM 13085 stop 13120

    Drop the RSI. I dropped it years ago for the xact reason you say here: during bull or bear runs it is always pegged off scale. It's just a statistical thing and it works only 70% of the cases. The 30% are the most worthwile ones tho. Ursa..

    Free Charts in QuoteTrader

    Good question. In the features list I haven't seen anything chartwise that isn't in QuoteTracker. It seems Trader has a DOM. so that is a diff. Will be hard to match Qtracker otherwise, since it has so many features, after 1 year of intensive use I discover new stuff every week and it feels...

    stop limit order (how often)?

    Oh yeah, so do I. Uhm, how can I change my vote? I voted for the 'stop' part, not the 'limit' part. :confused: Ursa..

    Is there a software program available that allows you to create realtime indicators

    Ah, ok, understand now. I wouldn't know where to look either, because most TA do-it-yourself platforms concentrate on one quote-feed at a time. If I had to prototype something like that I would resort to Excell and a DDE link to your data provider. If you get that to work and it proves...

    Is there a software program available that allows you to create realtime indicators

    Just find the quote-symbol for $TICK and $TRIN from your data-provider and put them in the QT list. You can chart them then. I did. Ursa..

    to conservatives -is Bush the worst ever?

    I think Nixon was more of an einzelgaenger, a lone ranger. He didn't have many friends and was paranoic in a sense. If he was a crook than it was because he didn't know how to reach his personal goals differently. Bush is much more embedded and part of a gang. There is a bigger agenda and...

    to conservatives -is Bush the worst ever?

    Then discuss with your father how it is possible that such a person became prez of the great US of A. What and who is behind that move? This is very important. Time to wake up, not too late yet. Ursa..

    IB Margin...is it always like this?

    Demo account is not reliable for checking margins, maybe you mean the paper-trade account. What I do to find margin-req for a single sell is first enter a sell-order for 1, check the m-req, change the orderamount to 2, and heck again. The diff is the needed margin for a single sell. Ursa..

    Serious thread about stops.

    It's a long time ago but I still remember from my n00b days the warnings and advises NOT to do what you just stated. This stuff is so basic that I can not understand why you purposefully give the opposite advise to an apprentice. So, why? Ursa..

    Myth of (exponential) time decay?

    I always found it a very good analogy and I use it all the time as a mental shortcut. In fact, in the P/L spreadsheet I use I always have the number of days to make up for a change in IV at hand. Can be positive or negative. Also the theta/vega ratio can be of use. Ursa..

    Question about quants

    I find doublespeak too nice a term, it suggest two separate meanings somehow concocted in one sentence. In this case it is a mass of words ending up with no meaning at all. Black-hole speak would be more apt. And yes, it is amazing how many sheep fall for this gibberish. Ursa..

    Serious thread about stops.

    Your advise sums up neatly the common dangerous misunderstanding of any n00b trader. It is exactly how not to think when learning to trade. Is that on purpose? Ursa..

    Senator Kerry: Building 7 was a Controlled Demolition

    The suggestion is that it was brought down to prevent collateral damage. My question would be, why would the stuff needed to bring down a building of that size be in place at the time needed? Or are all buildings loaded with demolition charges when they are built? Ursa..
