I'm on 898.4 and I have a weird problem with id sequence for orders. I stock the last id on each spreadsheet I use but when I go from one spreadsheet to another, the orders won't transmit even if id > the one used on former spreadsheet. I need to reset id sequence whenever I change...

One friend lost her job in a computer software company in Singapore, she came back to France and found a new job. My uncle is working at Caterpillar in Grenoble, France. There have been some layoffs last year but finally they just reduced his working hours. That's all.

Thanks, I definitely have to investigate TWS options more... It would have saved me a few K's if I had unchecked it earlier...I'm such a mess with stupid errors like that.

It's not only 2008 and meats were bad as well( I hope I didn't make any error/inverting while copying them from the book). I forgot to say I just tested spreads that had more than 90% profitable years in the book... Let's take 2 of them :- Buy Jun Hogs/Sell Oct Hogs from 02/17 to 03/10...

Hello, As an aspiring spread trader, I bought the "encyclopedia of commodity and financial spreads" from MRCI team and an other one from Courtney Smith. Both were good and I would like to thank JLaw for his advice because It greatly helped me understand the mechanics of spreads. However...

My best friends live in Geneva and Lausanne, I live about 2 hours from there in France( Grenoble ). Switzerland's definitely a great place to live, it's really active with a lot of companies domiciliating their headquarters around Leman's Lake( It's funny when you get out in little villages...

I think that we will have to keep proactive and PRESENT ALTERNATIVES when we are writing our reps, commenting on newspapers... We have to say that for example, FMI proposals to create an insurance funded by banks is a better alternative if we want Wall Street to pay for the crisis ,and not Main...
