Oh well, the Germans also loved David Hasselhoff - so their taste is immediately in question. Maybe the French will give waxie the Jerry Lewis medal for his funny commercial parodies. Oh wait, those are supposed to be real commercials!!! So maybe they'll give him the Foreign Legion...

Definite POS - and no, that doesn't stand for Point of Sale or Perfectly Operating Software :)

Custom index charting can be a difficult thing to do correctly. It's easy to do for simple streaming quotes but a lot harder if you're looking at historical price bars. For example, if you want to create your own index of MSFT, INTC, and IBM and for simplicity let's say you weight them...

My two cents - it's a cute toy but little added value. A lot like a couple VR systems that were being touted a bunch of years ago - the techies thought they were cool, but traders hated them. You can get most or all of the same info using color coded sector maps and normal quote displays...

Have you considered using one or more DVD burners instead of tape? Most backup software supports DVD media now and some even span drives not just media (NTI Backup Now) so backups can be more unattended. With compression you can get up to 8-9 GB on a DVD and you don't have to worry about...

A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. She was considered to be a very liberal Democrat, but her father was a staunch Republican. One day she was challenging her father on his beliefs and his opposition to high taxes and welfare programs. He stopped her and asked how...

If you have your IRA at a trustee that allows investments in non-publically traded issues like LLCs/LLPs, then you can do that. HOWEVER, if the trustee abides by the regs, you'll have to prove that you are not involved with the LLC/LLP. The investment must be in an unaffiliated entity to...

You'll probably want to do some more research on futures before actually trading them. Non-cash settled futures ultimately involve physical delivery of the underlying commodity if you don't offset or roll in time. If you're long going into the first notice period you can be tagged to take...

Ray - If it's ActiveX you should be able to use it in VB without problem. It may work OK in Excel, but high volume realtime T&S might encounter too much overhead. Not sure what you mean by a realtime volume study. Do you mean a price profile/price @ volume study?

I'm not into them, but I saw a note recently about new GE bonds @ 7 1/4% - so you might check around for decent quality corporate debt as a place to stash the cash to see if it conforms to your needs.

Rock - isn't it a little presumptive to say that 81% of people are messed up in the head? I personally don't buy the validity of that poll, but it seems a questionable argument that 81% of people are screwed in the head and the other [only] 19% are right in the head. Got to agree with...

Sounds like a reasonable risk control since they probably don't want to deal with people accidentally getting caught long and unable to take delivery. def - you could maybe allow taking long positions if the account has enough equity to take delivery in case they don't get flat in time...

I believe T&S is accessible via the end user ActiveX control. You'd have to script it in VBA and keep feeding it to new cells in your spreadsheet. Don't personally do a lot of Excel-based scripting for anything serious because it's so limited and slow. You'd be OK if all you want is...

Isn't the market closed on Monday??

Can't you just use esignal's equities basic plan ($69/mo - or $49/mo if you pay for a year in advance)? That's supposed to have equities and eminis (limit 50 at a time).

An MSA is useful for paying deductibles, copays, and the part of costs not covered by insurance using pretax dollars, but it's not a replacement for insurance. If you get hit by a truck, your MSA will be gone in a heartbeat and you'll still need a lot more bucks to pay everything. If you...

Not for family coverage it hasn't been - at least not in Illinois. Using Unicare right now - $500 deductible family medical for $471/mo - another $75/mo for dental

If you're sweating over Maria's bod - you've got to get out from in front of your screens more. Loads of women better looking than Maria.

While a kind of absurd way to do it (by using intersecting pixels), it sounds like it would be similar to the equal distribution of a bar's volume method I mentioned earlier. Since the volume distribution method seems to produce similar results to using the actual T&S (at least on 1 or 5...

When you say "volume histogram" are you talking about a volume at price (also called a price profile) study? If so, it can be computed from the raw trade T&S data (which might be time consuming to do for a heavily traded stock). I've also seen it approximated without diving into T&S by...
