    Caffeine addiction

    Caffeine in coffee actually causes a net loss of magnesium even though there is lots of it in a cup of joe. Caffeine also reduces your availability of serotonin which can destroy your basic feeling of well being. Coffee causes a net loss of water as well. I would not cut the coffee with...

    Simple Tradestation Question (arrays)

    I think only TS8 has breakpoints, not TS2000. You can use a print statement and print the entire array to a file. Use a For loop and cycle through the array and append the values one at a time to the file. If the file becomes huge this will be slow however as TS2k has to read the entire file...

    The real purpose of global warming?

    Frozen food tests out as having a high percentage of it's nutrients intact. Canning involves high temperatures which destroy some of the nutrition.

    Middle East Meltdown and US Foreign Policy.

    Commies like SA hate Bush because their systems are devastatingly flawed when it comes to picking leaders. They wind up with a Stalin at some point. They attack our leaders because they are trying to make people think that our system is as bad as theirs. SA is aligned with Hugo Chaves of...

    IMO, you want to be a contractor before you ever start any kind of realty operation, be it flipping, rentals, etc.

    If you want to be rich, first stop being so frightened

    Years with Tradestation have given me great confidence. I am convinced that most traders don't fail for all the psychological reasons they express, rather that the psychological problems come to the forefront because they have never fully developed their trading methodologies. I am from the...

    A gift. Thank me after you get rich.

    If you took all the people that fell asleep listening to economists and laid them end to end, they would be more comfortable.

    Americans are too fat for X-rays

    Americans just are dumb regarding nutrition. They choose foods like they were little children and eat too much. They drink flavored sugar water largely [there are 100 varieties of it in every store] and eat cookies, cake and pie until they are so big they can barely get around. Then they get...

    Why the North may really hate the South

    Californians have been making fun of people from the south and the midwest since at least 1957 that I know of. I think it is religious bigotry more than anything, Californians are catholics way more than southerners and mid westerners. I worked in Silicon Valley once which is way more...

    The Decaying of America.

    The Soviet Union died a long slow death because their thinking was the same as SA's. SA, if you are worried about California, don't be. Our Republican governor has a plan for the state to be 20% green powered [wind and solar] by 2011 which is being implemented right now. California was in the...

    Israeli air strike "deliberately" hits and kills two U.N. observers says Kofi Annan

    Yeah but outside of that he is probably a great guy.

    frustrated

    I am working on "tweakability" currently, seriously. If markets change I am thinking that the setups will remain much the same but the entries are what changes. If markets are slow then the entries have to be of the type that are reliable but not real early in the move, if the markets are hot...

    Antiquated Educational System?

    I have friends and family that are big successes in [small ] businesses. One, Tom, I met one day because I was standing nearby when [we were in high school] somebody dared him to set off the fire alarm. I did not think anybody would do that but he disappears around a corner and next thing I know...

    TradeStation - pros and cons please?

    Makes sense. TS thought to be the best charting package, MB or IB thought to be the best brokers and good data is available from several outlets, better to unbundle the whole thing, take the responsibility to get the new setup working and use the best of breed in each category. Besides which...

    IB; Biggest Possible Improvement?

    When you are getting data from IB it can vary depending on the routing. Am I not correct in this: if the smart router decides your issue will be routed through an ECN then the data you receive is only from that ECN?

    Family has negative perception about trading

    My spouse thinks daytraders sweat bullets over every trade and eventually lose everything and go to vegas to try to get it back. Nothing can dissuade her from this and the old father in law feeds her with more of the same so I have to keep things separated from them. I work on systems constantly...

    TradeStation - pros and cons please?

    The forums are not very negative as I recall. I don't recall much showing up there that they want to hide. I think they just consider it a service that you have to pay to get. Charging some admission keeps the bums out. Their forums were a place where you could have some serious discussion about...

    Why are the Saudi's so quiet?

    Maybe they are so everwhelmed by the fact that people in the West actually think they can fix anything in the Middle East that they can't think of anything to say :)

    Bid/Ask in TradeStation Strategies

    Nobody with recent experience is answering so I will tell you what I recall from a year ago. You could get Bid/Ask in realtime but you could not get history for backtesting.
