    Trader P/L 2006 Questions and Discussion

    In case anybody didn't get it, or thought I was being more of a jerk than usual, the praise for mnx reminded me of those dumb "Bill Brasky" skits from SNL. Yeah, I'm old... :( mnx sounds like a great guy. Good trading to all :)

    Auto A/c question

    Yes, I'm amazed at how well it works. The system I repaired, a full size conversion van with two a/c systems, had a damaged condensor replaced the year before, with a new compressor installed the year before that. Cost more than $800 for both jobs. A year later, all the refrig leaked out...

    Auto A/c question

    THis may not be the "recommended" way to fix auto a/c, but it has worked for me. My system was actually opened while the shop troubleshot the problem, so there was no fluid in there. They quoted something like $400, but I had put in a new compressor 2 years ago (was definitely bad then)...

    Auto A/c question

    If the system needed a recharge, or the compressor was bad, I doubt it would have "started working again". Low charge levels will cause the compressor to cycle frequently, then a pressure switch will eventually shut it down until it is recharged. But I would think that warm air would blow...

    For those that make 4 or 5 grand a day net

    Is $5K a month okay too???? :D Laugh if you want, but it takes me (now) all of 15 minutes per day to set up the systems. Hmmm...let's see... 15mins X 200trding days/yr = 3000mins/yr, 3000/60 = 50hrs, $60,000/50 = ...$1200/hr! AND I have a $100K "real" job with great bennies too...

    It is NOT impossible to make money in the markets.

    It's pretty much a loser. Here's AAPL, long only, buy 1000 shrs at the Open if the Open is Less Than the Previous Close (gap down). Sell at a limit $0.10 higher than the Open (entry). If limit is not hit, Sell at Close. Long + Short Long Only Short Only Buy & Hold Starting Capital...

    Books for Automated Systems Design/Development

    Here is a free one right on ET! I got the book years ago as a free gift for trying TS2000i or something, but it is a decent intro to this stuff. I've heard that Charlie didn't do well managing money (but it might not be true), still, I think it is worth reading. And heck, the price is...

    Free automated trading platform, for IB

    Yes, I'm aware that a computer savvy person can easily enough determine if a certain app is doing stuff in the background. You can run packet sniffers or watch router logs, but it's difficult to say what the background of your intended users will be. And the fact that, even with IB's, for...

    Free automated trading platform, for IB

    Odd does bring up a point - can you REALLY trust any "hidden" code from an individual or group, in your trading application? Could someone easily put something in there that sends your info to the Ukraine? Hell yes. And if one individual has "control" of the code, like frost, are there...
