Hmm... going the way I thought it would. Still short here... Maria

NN You know what dad reckoned was the biblical tower of Babel in todays society? The internet! The whole lot has so many protocols, is so fragile and if something happens to it today then it will affect most aspects of "modern" life in the western world. That is out achilles heel...

During the weekend you can experiment with the demo account: edemo/demouser Maria

Thank you for the kind words. Patents, litigation, liberalism are the US downfall. Just think why China is leaping so fast ahead of the US. Dad worked in China and he mentioned that they have no respect for intellectual property. :cool:

Michael You just have to wonder why TT did not succeed with the exchanges. I think they just laughed at him! Why do you think he has gone the way of attacking the brokers / DOM vendors one by one? These people do not have the funds to defend themselves and do not want to have their business...

I am aware of that. This is a trading website and putting it in perspective of trading was the easiest example to give. Another example can be the internet. The origins were a communication channel for research and yet these days it is like an old gossip environment with more half truths and...

Totally agree. Anything published these days mostly looks good on the outside and it is only after you spend mountains of time on it that you discover that it contains basic flaws. In the old days there was "peer review" and that has disappeared. These days write ups / reviews etc are plain...

I think that it is not too far a leap from imagination to say that Jessie Livermoore already was using something like this with his hieroglyphs on his quotescreen. I believe that he already wrote the prices in vertical numbers. You can take it even more simple: If you get in an elevator then...

Def Thanks for the heads up! Looking forward to the return of the tight spread. Maria

Without going into details: If latency affects your trading then your focus is wrong in this game. You cannot beat the automated boxes that are sitting on the floor of the exchange and can trade 50 times / second. We did extensive testing on a strategy that created its signals of 2 minute...

Profitable trading is based on the premise that people will keep on making the same mistakes as they have in the past. In other words: "This time it will be different". (no P&D of an IPO) Yeah right! :cool:

automated spoofing software that has a 0 too many on one side... just my $ 0.02 :cool:

Interesting next few trading sessions coming up. The Eur-USD broke the upwards sloping trendline that was in place since the beginning of July. And it also broke through the resistance level that was in place during July and that was finally broken at the start of August. Nice place to go...

I quoted it from memory as I heard it also over and over. I did a search on ET and just discovered this one: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=118843#post118843 Going through OldTraders postings he comes accross as a guy who is a pretty straight shooter. I am inclined...

Yes FP, please do it then you'll find out how easy it is. And then tell us about it. You remind me of the story of the newbie trader in the pit with a handful of charts. And there was this old trader and he asked: "Son, what are those?" And newbie proudly: "Do you see this line here, Sir...

There is also another saying in Greece about a bottle with coins: When you get married then the first year every time you make love then put a coin in a bottle. After the first year every time you make love you take a coin out of the bottle. The bottle will not get empty in your life...

OldTrader are you looking at an old version? This is what I see with TWS 851 standalone :confused:

I hope you are more observant in your trading than in what you are showing here. I am referrring to the data communication part, not to TWS as a whole. :cool:

We do not have a problem with a "forced upgrade" as long as it is an exception to resolve a serious (read: fundamental data communication) problem and does not happen more than once every 3 ~ 5 years. Anything more often than that and we start to wonder about the stability of their software...
