    What time does Fed info get released?

    Yes it usually is this volatile .... sometimes there is a strong move, and sometimes, like today, it is kind of choppy and can't decide which way to go.

    Do NOT Take Vitamins

    Yes, it is impossible to prove or disprove at this point .... but based on my own experiences, I do believe that l-form bacteria and Vitamin D dysregulation are behind most chronic illness. If you look at how the evidence lines up, it is certainly possible, and even plausible.

    Do NOT Take Vitamins

    I took vitamins for years, and just got sicker and sicker. In particular - don't take supplemental Vitamin D. It isn't even a vitamin. http://bacteriality.com/2007/09/15/vitamind

    IB will freeze my account if modification/execution ratio >50

    My messages per second is under 5. But at the end of the day the modification/execution is up to 70:1. Not trying to spoof anything, but on some stocks - if you know your price - there is a real advantage to being toward the front of the order queue. I could probably optimize some orders...

    IB will freeze my account if modification/execution ratio >50

    Sorry to ressurect an old thread - but I am also wondering about US stocks, routed "smart". I am looking into moving a strategy onto the IB API but a 50:1 rule would be a show stopper for me.

    Fed's Kohn on Crack. See's Inflation Moderating

    Yeah, the fed has friends on wall street, but they really exist to serve the government. The U.S. government is the worst offender by spending however much money they want. I vote for the tightwad every time (not sure who that is, if Ron Paul is not a choice).

    Oil. what is the best product to position in?

    Oops, you are right, no more contango. Bottom line - it adds another variable when playing USO. Agreed that futures are best.

    Oil. what is the best product to position in?

    The oil futures are in contango, and USO is suffering from it. I am in DBC, which has been doing well by rolling forward to the cheapest contract, and has 35% oil, 15% heating oil, and some agriculture and metals. Check out this web site and the "Hard Assets University"...

    Measure your success by if you are following your own rules or not. If you have a string of bad trades, but didn't make any mistakes, then don't feel bad, it happens to everyone. With that taken care of, if you are still aren't making money, you will be able to analyze if there is a problem with...

    C++ API Help for Laser (Genesis)

    Yeas - unless using FIX - you send a separate cancel order followed by a new order. I put the new orders and cancels into a FIFO queue, implemented for each symbol. It only processes the front item in the queue, and only removes the front item when the order is confirmed as pending, or as...
