    What's the dumbest thing you've done?

    It was a long time ago and I did not know what a stock option was. I turned down options when I hired in Tandon Corp in lieu of higher pay. I would have made $250,000 my first year with the options. I don't want to think about it actually.

    CyberTrader vs Tradestation

    Not really, IB quotes are free but limited as to the number of issues.

    Clemency bid denied for gang killer

    An LA talk show host called up his Senator and it took 10 minutes to get a Nobel Peace Prize nomination, pretty funny. I only heard one good thing out of the protests against Tookie's execution. Some Black leaders of the community were actually saying their people were going to cooperate...

    How long $3000 will last option trading

    maybe the site should be able to generate a subtraction from the total for each new post based on number of people that have the poster on ignore? If their post count went into the negatives maybe they would take the hint. :D

    Perfect TA...

    I work with a similar method. Regions, definitely, statistics, definitely. So far I have never traded it but if it is profitable I will not be selling the signals. :D

    IB Suggestions & Improvements

    This could be a problem with the screener I was using. I was getting a list of what I thought were OTCBB but apparently they were a mixture of everything that fell off the exchanges, not real sure what is going on. I can use the list of everything traded via ARCA Edge at their site, and it is in...

    Automation Nuances

    It's all learn by doing AFAIK. Interactive Brokers just made things better with an automation accessable practice account. I don't think Tradestation has that. You can use some third party tools to run your strategies from TS to IB. I am the right kind of person for this stuff, if not the...

    Dynaorder/Dynastore

    It is a good idea that people who want to use DO would click that link and download it to a CD for future reference. I have that done, I am wondering if the forums are still available? There is plenty of info from the DO website but there was additional stuff at the forum site, including some...

    Budget deficit and interest rates

    Is this a form of thinking out loud? Sort of "cyberthink" or something? Not that I am complaining, I certainly know nothing that will answer your question in the least, I am just interested in the psychological side. I am here to help of course.

    How two stove pipes blew it.

    Don't they just pretty much write all this govt krap so it is insanely ambiguous so you have to hire an attorney to get your benefits? It's just a big welfare program for attorneys, by attorneys, and of attorneys IMO. I know people that truly are qualified for disability, one guy was on a...

    Dynaorder/Dynastore

    Some of the setup info was in the threads in the discussion section. Did anybody save that? I saved the dynaorder.com site but not the threads. I believe the Java optimization stuff was there, if anybody has that please share. Max

    IB Suggestions & Improvements

    Perhaps that was written badly. If I am working from a screener that outputs a list of OTCBB issues to Excel and I had a list of OTCBB issues that IB does not handle then I could delete the IB list from the screener list. Currently I have to enter each issue into TWS to see if it gets rejected...

    IB Suggestions & Improvements

    Post a list of OTCBB issues traded in an Excel file so I could omit them from my universe selection early in the process.

    Paper trading now at IB.

    Cool. I tried to sign up for a paper trading account this morning and could not reach the page, no biggie, I can do that during business hours Monday. The paper trading account, with a separate account number, is a great thing for me. I can test one system while running another one, and with...

    Is any body out there who was in a similar situation?

    The division I have my day job in got sold from a German corporation to an American one. Immediately they froze pay, made everybody replaceable, cut benefits, tossed out the retirement program, etc. The place turned into a dysfunctional hole overnight. That was 6 or 7 years ago. I started...
