Insurance is like that. I had a friend that paid his health premiums for years. He had one dialysis treatment and they cancelled him. When dealing with insurance you need to have somebody knowlegable in your corner to advise you. My buddy could have gotten a non-cancellation feature for a few...

Would this work apply to an industry and it's constituent companies as a positively correlated pair?

Uhhh.... yeah. I had one failed login with the local version of TWS, not enough to raise any flags with IB, and I cannot login to the WebTrader due to a "server error". Maybe only account info is available on weekends. Sorry if I misdirected.

Sometimes you cannot login to the TWS that runs on your computer on weekends. You can go to the IB site and login to the browser based account and trading software however.

When was the last time Prechter was right about anything??

I always had the question "how large is large enough" regarding screens. I'm thinking in terms of comfort and I am a photographer so I am thinking in terms of art as well. One day some sales guys brought a 24" unit to run their pitch on and I had an "aha" experience. For some reason, to me, 24...

That is too simple, it just cannot be:D

Your nearest options seem to move about 10 times as fast as the underlying, as you go out farther in time they move slower.

I know a guy that was an intern with Long Term Capital Management and his job was doing some regression analyis. He said it "did not work". I have looked at channels built around linear regression lines for use in detection of turning points, I can do as well [or as badly] with it as I can...

Best of both worlds is to use the TS software and automate trading through IB with a third party DLL, I'm using Dynaorder, there are others. Occasionally TS quotes freeze so what I am looking for is a sort of a "GlobalServer" for TS8 that combines IB quotes with the TS feed for a backup. I have...

One problem with TA is that the future is just not very predictable. I can give a pretty sure answer for what I will be doing in one day, at one week, pretty much the same, one month? Starting to get fuzzy, one year, more like a dream than fuzzy, and ten years, well, basically, forget about it...

It's always about the leverage.

Very true. I am interested in trading now. When I started I was equally interested in the money and the trading and I had a partner that was only interested in the money, he drove me nuts. He fueled everything in me that worked against the venture, I had anxiety like you would not believe. I had...

Some will. I paid on a $70k mortgage for years while my property value had gone to zero. The reasons to do that: 1)everybody had moved so the hood was quiet 2) I liked the house and decided to ignore the investment aspect and just keep it for what it is, a nice place to live. 3) I felt like the...

I have had problems with frozen data feed at the open with stocks, it is a common complaint with TS. I'm shopping around for some setup that will allow me to back up thier feed with IB quotes.

PVLS started a run up with strong volume Thursday morning. Does anybody know what the news was?

Science people are just nuts. They look at Panangea where one of the continents needs a 40% change in size to fit and they think the continents are floating on top of the ocean or something. They refuse to look at the idea that if volcanoes are increasingly active above the water line they...

I'm thinking that is doable on a really large account. If I ever get to launch time I'm thinking I can prove (to myself only) that much, much more than that is doable on a micro account.... not quite launched yet but 7 years into study and research. BTW, I found more profound stuff on brokerage...

I tried listening to Air America, it was the same old puke. The left is going to have to come up with something better than "hate bush" and stupid little name calling habits, and paranoia and jealousy about "big corporations". That is where they get their campaign money actually. They would be...
