The Windows Messaging Service is there to facilitate things like quick popup (such as administrative) messages. If you've just got one machine or two machines in a personal use zone, you wouldn't use the messaging service. But in a corporate LAN environment it's of use. It's an oversight...

Just ran the Google toolbar's popup blocker through a nine point test and it passed on all accounts. Although I wish it could block those annoying window resizings that some web designers still think they should do (as if their site was so damn important it merited maximizing your browser)...

They're buying on the come (the belief that full recovery is just around the corner) and momentum traders magnify the impact. If/when their belief proves wrong, they'll either just move the recovery horizon out or panic sell. Intinsic value, economics, and fundamentals have little or nothing...

I was kind if hoping he was taking the summer off to study English :)

Could be - especially if you're sitting at an important support which I believe 982 was on Thursday. You'd have to know the bid depth at that price prior to your order being entered to know how far back you started - although in your example, it sounds like you were probably at least 500...

First thing would be to contact your broker, but take snapshots of everything their system shows before you do. You said you "put in a Short at Limit of 30.79" - it should be impossible to get filled below your limit price on a sell limit order. A sell stop order @ 30.79 on the other hand...

P & D - 1. No trading between 4pm CT and 8:15pm CT - Per the CBOT website: Trading Hours Electronic Trading – 8:15 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., Chicago time, Sunday – Friday. Trading in expiring contracts closes at 3:15 p.m. Chicago time on the last trading day. 2. You can track the...

It should NOT be. There was no provision in the Globex design to allow altered priority insertion into the order queue by any subset of participants. Orders enter the order queue of a given contract and are organized in first in, first out sequence at each price level (it of course has to be...

There are a few flaws with trying to implement a rating system: 1. As mentioned earlier - what one person thinks is "worthless" may not be to someone else - so who's to gauge this? So if a post (or a poster) is valuable to a small group of (maybe junior) users, but perhaps not globally...

I believe the CME site only mentions vaguely "prices in the Globex system". As I recall the Globex internal design though, the stops were intended to be triggered by bid/ask (BTW, I think I noted the sell stop was triggered by the ask price - that should have read bid price). But the...

Sell stop limit becomes an active sell limit order when the current ask price hits the stop price. Reverse for buy stop limit.

I was referring to the Messenger popup attacks that someone earlier mentioned that can happen if your machine is connected directly to the internet without some kind of stealth. Popup ads are a different animal. To stop that, you can either install a popup/popunder blocker browser add on or...

You can also create a temporary Windows mirror set, let the automatic mirror catchup process complete, then break the mirror set and you have an exact clone of the disk being mirrored.

An alternative if you use DSL or cable is to use an inexpensive NAT capable router (with rebates the router can end up costing less than buying firewall software - got mine at Circuit City for a net $10). It lets you use multiple PCs on the same internet connection and also completely...

No - I didn't mean fibonacci ratios or Gann. And no, neither of those have to do with pivots (which are nothing more than some simplistic number tumbling of the previous day's high/low/close). Fibs are ratios of what you presume to be important or meaningful moves (but which may or may not...

Most locals don't use the old pivot points anymore - they've used different methods for years. Pivots were thought up in the days before ubiquitous computing power and ready availability of realtime trade data.

Was it a socket that can be controlled by more than one switch? Or maybe an outlet where only one of the two sockets is controlled by a switch? In general, you need a hot lead sensor or a voltage meter to check the wires regardless. There's a lot of good work out there, but there's also a...

Agree - they don't need a congressional investigation (those guys already don't do their jobs) or a constitutional amendment. Existing laws should be sufficient - they just need to aggressively prosecute those obviously and rampantly infringing on copyrighted material. The guy with a few...
