    In every fast market TOS turns to crap

    Even for swing trading it's crap. Even quotes on daily charts can sometimes be dead wrong. Bottom line, it's free, so you get what you pay for.

    144 tick charts

    The reason it's bullshit is because a 144 tick chart is not 144 anymore. You would now have to use a 216 chart to have a 144. This is because the exchange began to bundle their trades. So anyone using a 144 doesn't know that they really using a 90 something tick chart. I bet bullseye...

    Globex trading with IB

    I wonder if that would cause problems during regular market hours? The biggest problems are around that time, but then on some days it 's just random. Are there any brokers out there that have 24 hour access?

    144 tick charts

    I know a way you could call him out though. Ask him if his system is dependent on the 144 tick, and if he's been using the 144 for his system for 2 years of more. If he answers yes, he's full of shit.

    Short China Real Estate ETF?

    There are some short China, but not one for specifically Chinese real estate. I believe it's YXI off the top of my head, that's the short China. The biggest holdings are in the financials. Just remember that China is very much not a free country. It's hard to bet on what will...

    Goldman Sachs ups Citi to buy ...

    One thing most don't realise is that any analyst or brokerage house recommendation is done in code. The more important thing is what they've done with the company's earnings estimates. Usually buy means the analyst doesn't see much more upside potentials. Buy to neutral normally means...

    Can you beat buy&hold?

    No, those days aren't over. The problem is your only looking at charts. Again, investors don't look at charts. You have to look at true historical prices, splits, and dividends to know what a buy and holder really makes. But buy and hold doesn't mean a year, it needs to be an absolute minimum...

    Can you beat buy&hold?

    It depends on what the buy and hold is. If you buy and hold the right company, re invest the dividend, you can do amazingly well. Buy and holders don't worry about stock prices like traders do, but if you buy and hold a company that goes bankrupt, that's not going to help you beat a trader...

    E-mini trading system

    You ask why you bother to fake excel sheets, but I ask you, why would you bother to fake people on the forum asking about your service? Let's think about this for a really long time. Hmmm........ Is it because you're trying to spam your website and get people to give you money?

    Think or Swim data messy??

    The problems with TOS are much worse than that. Not only is it messy at time, but even at best of times, it's still very innaccurate. Just compare it to IB charts or Esignal, and you'll see what I mean. TOS charts are for hobby traders. If you want correct data you'll need to pay for it.

    Tradingmarkets closing up shop?

    I've noticed that too. Seems like they set up some spam bot to print their stories. I think a lot of trading related sites are hurting these days. I've noticed that zacks has started to add google adwords. I guess they need the income.

    System that makes 50% a month

    I paid over 10K for 2 systems from trade the markets. After using them for a year I lost right around 50%. They no longer offer the systems, and unfortunately, I was one of the dumb schmucks that bought the crap. Any system that made 50% per month would be worth enough for several...
