Wait a minute -- you have installed it on a Windows 98 machine? You have gotten through half the problem if it installs on a Windows 98 O/S. I designed it to run with Windows 2000 and XP, but here are some things you may want to check. First, do a scan on your computer and search for a file...

I'm on a 57.6 connection and as the second was loading, I thought it was going to be a porno.

This is incorrect. Options at IB are subject to PDT with a cash account. I got stuck in the market because of this once.

We can do this any way you want, FPC. We can choose to each get 5 trades and to make them count. We can define a two-hour time period and just go at it. To make it even better, if you win this, I will *PROMISE* (and if I break this promise, may I never get laid again) to reduce my posts...

So what we have here by this admission is ... a) You are indeed FPC b) You're bowing out of a contest because ... why ... are you afraid? Come on FPC, get in the ring. You can pick the late session or morning -- 2 hours -- me and you making calls. The whole world can see just how...

Scenerios: Goes to 49 and reverses to your target, you make $500 Goes to 49 and continues to fall, you lose $1,500 Goes to 52 without ever reaching 49, you make $2,000 So I'm assuming the probabilities must be that going straight to 52 happens 50% of the time, going to 48 happens 50% of...

Probably because most people wouldn't feel so hot about taking a random trade. They'd inject thoughts and biases about which way to go, etc. Also, what you bring up in covered in depth in "Statistical Calculus of Financial Theory." It is part of the "random walk" theory and it goes into...

If FPC wants to go a round with me on Monday, I'm fair game. Btw, beer will not be served -- BYOB.

I never knew that!

This is one of the best setups I've seen. Other's would include: Triangles, flags and pennets. Gaps (both real and psuedo).

Today I traded the MSFT SSF (blaah) and the stock itself. I traded the SSF twice and the MSFT stock itself once (only 2 more trades left this week). I would have to say that a random entry might suffice if you cut your losses quickly and have some method of setting a trailing stop. The...

When you were at the prop firm, is there anything you can isolate about your trading habits that caused you to fail (not permanetly of course)? I notice that a lot of your trades have reasoning behind them (Iraq, war concerns, interest rate cuts), however I have found out (through the use of...

Puzzling over a “Little Big Bang” http://www.msnbc.com/news/750150.asp?0dm=C249T You know, if these scientists keep ramming particles together at faster and faster speeds and doing other "interesting" things in the process, we are bound at some point to "accidently" create some...

Optional777 is getting out of control. He has gone from amusing, to annoying, to tasteless, to inflamatory. However, it doesn't bother me. He's such a good trader that he has all this spare time during market hours to use Photoshop while scalping 3 cents on CSCO. Great job asshat.

So if I create a computer program that puts in a bid, pulls it, puts another, pulls it -- doing this 10 times before an execution -- I get charged $10 + ?

Any guesses where Osama may be today? Maybe he's kickin' back with Omar at Saddam's presidential palace?

If there was a major terrorist attack tomorrow, I wonder how if we'd still go to war with Iraq -- would we use terrorism as an excuse to go to war instantly with Iraq despite their agreements to weapons inspections? When is the United States government going to wake up and realize that we...

... and how many "euro pacificts" were killed before the United States finally decided to commit troops for battle? Then, in the name of goodness and "saving American troops" from a drawn-out conflict, we nuked a civilian populace. That is right -- the United States of America is the only...

:D Love, aphie

Very well done.
