    Futures at their lowest level of predictability

    perhaps the trading bots are playing games but the overall picture that I have is that it is well within normal trading patterns we may go a bit higher on monday or tuesday but the sentiment is set for going down. who knows if the PPT / CPT will be able to halt the slide. time will tell Maria

    NSA's Spyware Is Making my System Slower???

    that's straight out of fantasy land did you re-install XP? 'coz you may be suffering from "windows rot" and internet connection can be true due to all those billions of spam emails messages send out and investment in hardware unable to keep up with the demand for services...... Maria

    Minutes, ticks or volume bars?

    disagree on momentum bars, they distort the fundamental picture. just because it is the latest fad does not make it better, same as volume bars lol. better to get used to either tick or minute depending on item and timeframe traded. if you are starting out try to look at swing trading and...

    How do you backup your system?

    if you store files on DVD/ CD you may want to consider using ICE ECC which helps recovery. Had only one CD go bad on me on the thousand+ I created. There were a few that were unreadable on one DVD/CD reader but worked on the other and eventually I replaced that DVD/CD writer. Have not had a...

    Don't upgrade to TWS 860 yet.

    jimrockford, I do not always agree with everything you say but the whole above posting (cut down to minimize wasting space) is well said and I support your request. Maria

    Don't upgrade to TWS 860 yet.

    Although I agree with what you mention on the "be damned if they do and be damned of they don't" I do firmly believe that if there were two versions a lot of complaints (and misery) could be avoided. It is not much fun to have to download 9+ Mb and then a helpfile of several Mb on a 56k modem...

    Don't upgrade to TWS 860 yet.

    seem to have lost the Avg (BOT) and Avg (SOLD) on the summary page of the executions window. Those two fields stay blank. (Had the initial release of 860.8 before that was withdrawn and 860.9 came out.) Downgrading did not restore it. May see what I can do to reinstall and wipe the old...

    Seems that the SEC is also thinking something fishy with Larry is going on seeing that they asked him to be arrested in Sydney. Maria

    Gambling and titanium balls are to be avoided at all cost.... They lurk and occasionally post to pry.... Yes, very accurate...... Maria P.S.S. What about the "unknown cult of great traders" ? Yeah. What about that, what do you mean????

    MSFT - BREAKING NEWS: Gates no longer full time in two years

    The rat is leaving the sinking ship so he can blame the demise on others. The end is in sight! MSN has failed to diversify and create some real new value added. Take in contrast Apple with the iPod. Or take Sony how they diversified from the days they had the walkman cassette recorder. Look...

    Simultaneous, Redundant Internet

    No because your datafeed / broker is tied to an IP address that it can "see". When the connection "drops" on one line then it needs to "reconnect" through the other line. You do not need hardware, it can be done through software when you use a telephone modem and ADSL / Cable. But it will...

    Welll done IB

    I am happy about the stability of your platform. The fix that you implemented (when was it, a year ago?) to resolve the connectivity has definitely made a big impact. No other broker seem to offer the scale of products and make it as easy to switch markets as you do. Your simulated...

    TradeStation UPDATE!!!

    Love my standalone TradeStation 2000i. No "server based" software for me. It is all under my own control with a different emergency data feed. No single point of failure. Maria

    Jesse Livermore

    You are hitting the nail on the head. Most people do not distinguish issues from personalities. How the man was as a person, how he managed his money, how many times he went broke has nothing to do with his ability to trade which is the matter under discussion here. Similarly most people do...

    Bye Bye Retail Trader

    If what you say would be true then there would be percentage wise more succesful traders today than that there were for instance before the availibility of personal computers. Yet extensive studies have shown it is not. If you get the right mentor then the tools will help you to make less...
