I have TS and IB on different screens. If it gets to where I can't look at that IB software I switch to TS to give my psyche a rest. Once you get past the learning curve TS is very rewarding software to work with and I don't have problems with quotes [currently only from the CBOT] or the brokerage.

There should be an exit strategy for the war on drugs. It's not going well if Marijuana is a $34 billion a year sector of the US economy. I am thinking that the popular support for the war is just not there anymore. Regarding scripture and drugs, excess use is prohibited, not just zero...

He's been here on ET, I hope he is ok :D

It can normally take a day for IB to initiate an ACH transfer and 4 business days before the money is in the account.

And if you clean a ki and feed the seeds to a monkey he will pass out and take a 7 footer to the floor too. We had a monkey in the opium den, the little bastard would jump on you and take the bologna out of your sandwich and run off with it. We used to feed him the seeds and he would be spaced...

I used to watch the people that got blasted in their cars on the way to work. They would pull up to a stop 30 feet away, reevaluate the distance and pull up to 15 feet back, then maybe with one more iteration they would get it right. Then they might sit there spacing out for awhile..... I am not...

Where I live the Sheriff's or anybody really, will shoot a loose pit bull with no attempt to find the owners at all. Pits, Rotweiilers, Malmutes, Wolf hybrids, Coyote hybrids, trained fighters, etc. are all at risk of attacking children, sometimes after years of not showing any signs of...

I recall my 50th well. I was the married guy with the 9 to 5 but it did not suck at all, I loved the job. Nonetheless I went to work that day and just ate a huge, huge breakfast. I was searching for a way to feel good about being so old when I had had absolutely no goals or accomplishments in...

I don't think the US wanted to win in Iraq. The military advised 450,000 troops and they sent in 170,000. They left the borders open so bad guys could come in, they withdrew from Fallujah for a month due to "international pressure" at one point and let them arm up, etc. There is more of a...

DTN is pretty reliable in my experience. I'm not sure what software would be reliable to interface it to TS.

There may be positions that are not particularly watched very closely and are traded for no particular reason relating to the market's recent activity. That volume would be a noise component for daytrading purposes.

Maybe they were working hard to shore up security and they screwed something up? :) I do recall a day when I was crawling around above the ceiling of a lot of offices, tracing a cable that I wanted to disconnect. I pulled the plug and then I heard all these people below me complaining they lost...

Red wine will give me a horrendous sharp pain in the head before I am even done drinking it. I learned that there is allergy to a certain oil in it and the same oil is in chocolate. I cut out the wine and chocolate and no headaches since. That gruit beer/ale sounds like the ticket, wakes you...

I think I am allergic to hops, I know if I touch them my skin breaks out. I like to drink a beer in the afternoons but after a few days I get this weird tired feelling that only comes with the beer. So I am researching brewing to see what might be made without the hops. It turns out the hops are...

Forrest Gump had it right. At one point he said "I had enough money to live on for the rest of my life and that was one less thing to think about"

Another reason to scrap sensibility and get a Camaro, they are going up in value.

I only have one word of advice: Camaro. Get a 92 Camaro, v6, 5 speed, take it to a speed shop and have the suspension upgraded to do 1G turns. The V6 is small and light and krammed right up against the firewall, all the weight in the car is at the center of the car, I can make lane changes...

I worked for a company that abused power all over the place. I took them to the labor board and got some back pay but they get rid of you eventually for that. When they were firing me I told them of the abuses they had incurred since the last trip to the labor board and so I was not fired, I was...

If you fight them you have to have the personal skills to also make up with them after and work real hard to keep your job, otherwise they will likely be looking for an opportunity to dump you.

LOL!! Al Capone said he was a piker compared to the guys on Wall Street. I want to get my picture taken by that bull out in front before they close it down though.
