What was it about the order that IB could not do? Too many issues in the basket? I am just getting ready to launch a similar effort and am curious. I am working through the API and placing a series of limit orders, not a basket really, but it could evoke a similar problem with IB. If there is an...

Parking cars pays really well for part time if you are in the right place, a high end restaurant or something like that. Waiting tables can be lucrative but strenuous. Take your time is my advice, it is going to take time to learn to trade on your own. If you can get in a prop firm with...

Real estate would be up in the long term. Our community got section 8 out, the immediate result was a crime reduction, within a year those properties were all sold to families who went to work on renovations.

Uhh... it was pretty much the least I could do..... I put the book on my wish list while I was over at Amazon anyhow.

only one instance of a book by that author shows up at amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0910418101/qid=1136251980/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/104-2264444-1843149?n=507846&s=books&v=glance It only got one review and it was not good btw, maybe the book is a little overwhelming?

Sooo... what would a non-corrupt oil minister do? 1) give away free oil to all in a true Marxist [why people pay any attention to a philosopher from the 1800's is beyond me] sense thereby removing the incentive to conserve 2) side up with OPEC in an attempt to have "peace in the Moslem world"...

Are there any replacements for Dynaorder? All the stuff I am finding for TS2k works from files generated by the tracking center. I really liked the order generation from the indicator a lot better.

Trading requires attention and the job is going to be the biggest distraction and it will only get worse if the bosses do not like what you are doing, and they will not.

I just did a backtest of a countertrend system that required about 500 lines of EasyLanguage. I have it reporting stuff to Excel and doing all sorts of things to characterize the trades for me. The realtime code to implement same might wind up being 100 lines. By far, most of the lines do not...

It's all FUD, Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt. These guys on the far left defeated the efforts to privatise Social Security by talking up the risk involved. They never mentioned the risk of getting stuck on a fixed income in an inflationary time like happened in the US in the 70's. Comedians were...

I can't believe people aren't joining him. Hey Loza, I get my trading schemes working, watch for a PM, I'll scrape up my hundred and a half and we can kick it for real. All this work and responsibility makes me ill nowadays. WIN baby. That stands for Work Is Nonprofit. :p

I do know that visualization is a way to program the unconscious. When my daughter was little, she and her friends would come through the front door of the house and leave it open every time. I mentioned it to them a couple of times, the behavior did nto change, then I took a couple of minutes...

I wonder if one could go to a psychologist and just say "I want my emotional IQ scores to be a lot higher?" Would NLP help with that? I keep taking those tests for emotional IQ and the results are depressing me!!

I just started using DTNIQ with TS2k. So far so good. I have no metrics regarding delay or anything, only have downloaded history at this time.

You just need a system once you are an "expert". You can generate the profits by selling it.

I never hear much bad about DTN satellite. It transmits the whole market, there is no symbol limit. They will discount the DTNIQ service if you have satellite, you can get history downloads from the internet that way. The satellite conserves bandwidth by not transmitting every tick [I'm fairly...

I am resurrecting TS2k after a couple of years with TS8 and it's predecessors. TS2k actually still works. TS8 has data on demand into charts and RadarScreen. TS2k can be retrofitted with data on demand into charts with a third party app but I never found an app that would get data on demand into...

I have backtested systems with trailing stops, they never seem to quite work out as well as other methods. I would place them as "good but not great" maybe.

Largely agreed. I have been at it about the same period of time. I see the problem nowadays as tweaking the "system plane" so that it intersects the "market plane" to the greatest extent. If I get the autotraded stuff up and running satisfactorily I am thinking of joining a prop shop. I am sure...

I am an EE, albeit from a home study course. I DID have to derive things and I did learn to find shortcuts and to question my assumptions. Trading is way different. I have spent years trying to corral trading into a quantifiable thing, with some small success I might add. In fact, if I can't...
