This reminds me of my 'wipe' out 2 months ago. I lost nearly 50% of my trading account and it opened my eyes. Learn a better analysis, money management, and the most important thing, control your emotions. Now I'm gaining 30% in the past two months, not bad of a come back eh? Now let's see...

I have to say that whoever sell the stock when it dips loose big time. And it's also amusing reading the previous post about how the market bounce is only a dead-cat bounce (note: I'm not talking long-term here, just a short-term trade). I remember one of my friend hastily put all of his...

Hello Wayne, No I'm not looking for free, just an alternative to ivolatility.com. And as for Yahoo data, I don't recall that they have a historical options data (since it's historical that I need). I already got the Perl program to refresh the data once I already got the complete chain...

What part of the trading are you actually looking at? I once downloaded some journal regarding options, let me take a look at the files to see where I downloaded it.

Hello Wayne, Thanks for the free link ;-) however, I'm looking for a more specific options data (in my case, IV and HV for certain index' component which isn't there, plus the options greek which isn't there too although it should be pretty easy to calculate nonetheless). And the site also...

Hello, I'm looking for options data provider besides ivolatility.com. The data that I need is IV, HV, options price, and also options greek. Is there any? Nothing wrong with the site though, it's just that they ask me to fill a form containing my credit card info to process it manually...

To be honest, I'm now astonished at how well Amibroker integrates with IB's data feed in which I can code (almost) any imaginable mechanical trading system. I will probably run Amibroker AND IB for a mechanical trading system in the future (not done it yet, still has to learn the kinks of...

What do you mean by MACesque? For me, aside from IB, I'm also using the charts provided by OptionsXpress. Very powerful (although somewhat limited). And I also run Wealth-lab and metastock via parallel for my custom indicators (like I have one, lol). I also run on Blackbook.

The biggest problem would be, it's made for console game. This kind of trading simulation is better played on computer.

I'm using Metastock's Elwave addons and I have to say it worked quite well ;). Might give it a shot

The better question would be, why would you want to run 500 charts at the same time? Why not just use a third party software (like Wealth-lab) to do the analysis for you?

As far as I can remember, they dumped the new file system simply because they need to rewrite things all over again. When they first announced Windows Longhorn, it's a totally new OS with a new source code (as in they built it from scratch) but along the way it's not viable anymore (mainly...

I also use a mac (blackbook to be exact) and connects it only with 1 other monitor (two screen is enough for me -- the macbook screen and 1 external screen). I run TWS on macintosh and OPX for my analysis. No quote tracker whatsoever, I'm a swinger so minute-by-minute move of the price isn't...

Apparently in the end he does make it to the list and you're not (although he faced a lot of draw down this week). Geez, so much negative energy in this forum...

Well if by hedging you mean minimizing risk, I'm currently doing it (albeit not on corporate level, hedge management of my own fund :P). With alot of hedging strategies you can formulate these days (because of increasing financial instruments), the only problem you will face is how to find...

Nice thread (too bad it's highjacked). Me myself almost got blown up this month. 50% down from my starting equity. It blows the punch out of me (I'm on my early 20s). Now I'm back to the drawing board (learning that is) and trying to preserve my capital in anyway. I still trade though in...

iPhone will be huge. If only AAPL will embed 3G or EV-DO in the near future

QuoteTracker does not support Macintosh, so if IB does indeed got better on their charting department I'd be very glad ;)

I found that Macworld event is probably one of the high volatility period of AAPL's stock lifecycle. Straddle/Strangle! (though I think the price of both call and put is already high today)

I would start with MANY math books such as neural network (not really a math book though), social networking theory, and the likes. Individual humans cannot be mapped using mathematics but humans in flock creates a pattern that can be described mathematically. That's why I love trading :)
