    smell the fascism

    OK, fair enough comment, places things in perspective, but... ...makes me really think you're out of your mind. Maybe live larger is true, but eat better!?!?! I still have to meet someone who's been around that would agree with that; most thing you tanks don't even know what eating is, except...

    smell the fascism

    Doesn't that even give him more right to comment. The Europeans/Italians have gone through this before and are probably a lot more alert to signs of fascims than our friends in the US are. Very farfetched and low. As a matter of fact the US would probably also have been on Hitlers side if they...

    Do you use Martingale position sizing?

    What's good about your friend's idea is that it steps outside the box of linking the binary bet (BLACK/RED) with the doubling of the bet. Doubling the bet would be ok if we could prove that the probability of being correct would double too, next round. And if we try to prove that, we will soon...

    Do you use Martingale position sizing?

    Also important, not many realize this, the profit you gain with this method is nowhere near to possible drawdowns. Suppose you bet $10 at roulette RED. If it is RED you will have won $10. But if it is BLACK BLACK BLACK BLACK BLACK BLACK BLACK BLACK and then RED, you will have won.... $10. In...

    Thoughts on new law?

    How do you know they are looking for terrorists, only? This, or the next administration could try to isolate other 'elements' that are trying to disclose something smelly. Who's gonna stop them? Ursa..

    Saddam is dead, are we safer now?

    This was his second chance. He wouldn't have been in power for more than a few years without the intensive support of the US. I know, there was a reason for that, but never forget he was an ally not so long ago. Ursa..

    If it was an inside job then all these measures will only make it easier to do a similar attack for those involved. Ursa..

    What really happened ....11 september

    No, it's not that I'm offended, not at all. I actually like a good tirade at times. It's more that I think you have some good points to make and imo they hit harder when brought in a calm and confident way. But no need to apologize at all. I dunno, in my experience anger is always connected to...

    Just wait, we will see conspiracy theories that Saddam was not hanged...

    Saddam has been dead since the invasion of Bagdad. This is one of his doppels, anyone knows that. :) Ursa..

    What really happened ....11 september

    Yes, it is strange that no footage is available showing anything hit the Pentagon, which must be one of the most heavily guarded builidings (CCTV anyone) in the world. Is there any public witnness who saw a plane passing by? Someone must have seen it; there is a highway nearby, if I'm correct...

    Will Bush Use A Nuke Before He Leaves Office

    Before his first election I said I expected this man (I didn't call him moron yet) would start WW3. At that time I thought it would happen only through ignorance and inability to communicate. These days I do suspect him of a hidden purpose. Untill now he didn't start it, although he certainly...

    Sierra Chart is free til 12/5

    The payed version of QT supports 10 days of historical data, full tick if needed, but consolidated as a default. Besides that you have of course histories with OHLC and volume for as long as your dataprovider provides. Ursa..

    Why are IB's chart's so slow?

    I agree completely. If you need historical data for any serious stuff yoy have to find another provider besides IB. I myself use it only for the last 3-4 months as a background to hourly and minute bars for the last 1-2 weeks, so for me it's ok. I too would strongly advise anyone to refrain...

    Why are IB's chart's so slow?

    1. Not really. Afaik they send consolidated 'ticks-frames' in a constant rate, with volume. The constant rate is somewhere between 3-5 times per second, I forget. One of these frames can contain data about 1 or more actual ticks. The advantage is that during market panics they can maintain this...

    Why are IB's chart's so slow?

    That is very well possible with QT but not in my setup; I use IB only, for everything. THe timmings I refer to come from the IB data as requested by QT. For those not familiar: there is a difference between backfill and historical backfill. The former is an update of missing quotes for the...
