    Esignal's 500 symbol limit

    Sounds like you've pretty much answered your own question - either live with the 500 symbol limit, pay for more symbols, or maybe pay up for Realtick.

    Movie Maker

    Check Ulead's and Sony's websites - there's a program that ships with the Vaios I believe that'll do what you're talking about and last time I was looking, Ulead had some reasonably priced non-linear video editing software. Also check out cnet.com and search their software reviews.

    Oh, good God - why is this B.S. in the Trading forum???

    Esignal's 500 symbol limit

    Checkout DTN.iq or Qcharts (yeah, some people have problems with it, but personally I've had little trouble with it - not much more than any other datafeed I've used anyway)

    Qcharts promotion

    Don't have to hook up with any separate software, quote.com has a trial code. Their magazine ads show the promotional code TRYQCHARTS.

    ES RTH open high low close

    The internet generation - everything should be free. However, if you use the pit contract (which trades only RTH) instead of the emini, you can check the OHLC on the CME website.

    2nd hard drive for back up

    Mirroring is certainly applicable to desktop computers (not just servers as some have asserted). It's not a substitute for routine backups and offsite storage of backups for disaster recovery purposes. But you'll definitely appreciate it when your hard drive crashes while you have trades...

    A question regarding offshore accounts?

    You're supposed to document that you're taking more than a certain amount of cash out of the country ($10K I think). But as long as the cash is legit, there's nothing illegal about it. Taking a million bucks out (even if legit) would probably cause at least a cursory investigation to see if...

    Then and Now

    Don't confuse a very oversold relief rally with a big component of short term short covering and contract expiration action (which skewed volume) with a trend reversal. No way to know at this point whether this turns out to be a real trend reversal or just another strong counter-trend rally...

    Profit Taking Strategy

    Perhaps one of the problems is that when backtesting profit taking strategies, the usual method is to use a fixed # of points or fixed % targets and there's no recognition in a backtest for when prices are running. Which flies in the face of basic profit taking ideas that if prices are...

    2nd hard drive for back up

    You could look into just shadowing/mirroring your primary drive to the second drive and using it as a hot backup in case your primary drive crashes. Some people actually install 3 drives, mirror to one in realtime and once a week break the mirror and remirror to the other spare drive - keeping...

    Gamma scalping

    Why do you have a 1000 share delta from the long straddle?? I'm doing it off the top of my head so maybe I'm wrong, but shouldn't it be more like around net +250 shares? The long puts have negative delta offseting most of the positive delta of the long calls. Maybe if you were long calls...

    gap up / gap down...

    I'm not a big "scanner" user, but the scanner feature in Trade Prospector can be set up to use different market scans (like unfilled gaps) and then define user defined filters for specific selection criteria.

    gap up / gap down...

    "allow you to see gap ups/downs"? You mean a scanner to identify stocks that gapped open up or down a certain amount? Most of the software out there can do something simple like that.

    DLP - Digital Light Processing

    Doubt they'll be cutting the cost of admission - most theaters make their real money on concessions, not the box office (they pay most of that to the movie distributors). Same for second run theaters, but once a movie goes into secondary release they don't charge nearly as much so those...

    DLP - Digital Light Processing

    Yeah, DLP's are pretty slick. I've used DLP-based projectors hooked to my computer for presentations and one of the local movie theaters was outfitted with a DLP cinema projector for the last Star Wars - the manager said that the film distributor delivered a ruggedized hard drive with the movie...

    Qcharts Data Missing for Today Anyone?

    You might have to delete the file again - might depend on how frequently the screwing up the file. You might also want to try connecting to a different server or a completely different server farm and see if that helps any.

    Qcharts Data Missing for Today Anyone?

    Check the Qcharts network update page - they have a note about deleting the MktHours.inf file if you're charts aren't complete or you're not getting after hours data.

    Different reading between e-signal & q-charts

    jem - I don't understand what you mean. If you open a 5 minute ES chart right now and put a 10 period EMA on it. I can do the same (ANY TIME LATER) and we can see what my chart looked like over the same period as your chart to compare the data and indicator results. Re: someone's comment...
