My protection is in the form of small positions, never risking more than a couple percent of capital, worst case, on any one issue. I like systems with a higher win percent for the same reason, less worry about stops. I trade some illiquid issues at times and kind of wonder if stops would work...

Tradestation radarscreen, up to 2000 issues in that case since you can do it without downloading any history. You would have to program it which would take an experienced person about one minute. Max

Record to the database and record the whole text file after hours or something like that. Textfiles can be a problem in themselves, they can slow as they get bigger because software will read the whole file before it can append. Tradestation is like that.

There is a 50 message per second limit, could have something to do with that.

Actually, when I see a stock price doing something unexplainable to me I definitely do not come to ET to find out what is up, I go to the Yahoo message board and sometimes I get some really excellent info after wading through a hundred posts calling bullshit on each other of course. Here, you...

The US did the same in decades past and the Brits complained about the brain drain. I think the Chinese are pretty xenophobic and will not attract anybody but fellow Chinese so maybe the US will get tired of training them to overtake us, but actually, it is the universities that do the training...

TS2k does not have a portfolio level tester, RINA is one option. The Global Server makes me crazy just thinking about it.

The strat was strong in 1998 but returns decreased steadily since. Maybe as the returns decrease you should increase your use of margin:D

I like my $2000 buck Camaro personally, racing suspension, 1G turns, 150mph no sweat, cheap parts, etc. Beats up my backbone a tad but whatever.

Ha Ha!! You think you speak for all America. Maybe you are the true representative of the people and should do a power grab??

The basic rule with IB is that Limit Orders do not reduce your buying power. I am trying a similar strategy, should have it online in a week, will post here if there are problems or misconceptions on my part.

If simplest is best then setting things up with your broker so that 1) a change of address can not be done without written permission and confirmation via a telephone call to you, never from you 2) disallow all wire transfers and allow checks shipped out via a commercial carrier only, so that...

They charge less if you route smart via the API.

The links are working for me, the corporate firewall was blocking or something, now is fine.

Well that tears it, one guy has a negative outlook for '06. Time to fold the hand and hunker down, no more economic activity for this guy!! I'm packing it in right now, not going to be one of those dummies that keeps on going, not ole Max.

Wal Mart is pushing out the standard grocers and replacing their stuff with lower cost foods. I've been thinking that Whole Foods will be picking up market share from the shoppers that "don't do Wal Mart". Also Americans are waking up to the fact that their diet sucks if they let the...

That link won't open for me. Somebody in Europe picked up the sales and support on Dynaorder at one point, not sure if that will continue.

I don't know about any recommendation services like that. Crooks abound in penny issues supposedly so most people are going to think that any penny stock recommendation is a scam artist trying to scare up buyers for his holdings. That would not keep me out of that action basically but I just...

What is your selection method? How long do you hold an issue? Some of the pennies are so thinly traded that it is difficult to get any money into them but I do agree that the pennies is where the big % moves are. Interactive Brokers caps commissions at .2% of the trade so they are good for...

49 of us looked, were clueless, etc.
