Exactly. I have seen both sides up close. My dad was actually nuts, autistic sort of, he just could not put together a value system so he settled on "cheap" as a value system. I had a hard time getting health care and never had glasses when I needed them for school, that is how cheap he was, and...

I played with it years ago, it worked ok for stock symbols at the time. I was able to use parts of the source code in VBA scripts that worked "ok", eventually I dropped Excel, VBA and qlink, it was just too problematic overall.

California was Spanish, and Spain could not get people to come to California. Squatters came in and the land grants were so huge the owners could not even keep the squatters out, they could not police or use the land and eventually the US told them to take their land grants and take a hike.

oK, if we were hanging out I would not get any alarming signals from you. All the people that I know that don't want to tip, or will not pay their fair share if a collection has to be taken up for dinner, are also not throwing stuff away without a fight, are grabing freebies everywhere, one I...

I know more about "the" Mafia than most, hee hee. Dear ole' dad was pals with lots of those guys, gotta love people like that :) Mafia was a huge success in New York early on in the twentieth century and before. Maybe the first President to get them busy for America was Roosevelt. He had a...

I knew a guy that was exceptionally thrifty, worked as an engineer and traded bonds on the side. He is wealthy today. He told me that he lived on 80% of his income no matter what and when one of his kids was born he had the money in the bank but "Let the hospital take it out of some charity...

Can somebody make this tradbolt thread go away?

I got Ninja up and running just to use the dll to automate orders. The dll thing worked fine, good documentation too. I took a look at the rest of it, it looks ok. It appears to me that Ninja and Multicharts are the technology leaders for what I want to do. I worked with Tradestation but...

I think JJ is getting unnecessarily trashed in this thread. He can work with the lack of info provided by frosty and come to a conclusion, that indicates intuition, and essentially, I don't have any trouble following JJ's arguments. Frosty needs to get a system he is comfortable with. Frosty...

Libby got caught up in a bullshit prosecution by politically motivated Democrat hacks, did he not? It is the obligatory accusation and demonization of the White House by Democrats so they can appear to be the activists their supporters want them to be, no? Wasn't it part of the Valerie Plame...

One of Satan's nicknames is "The Accuser". Personally, I see news about some morons from the midwest that protest soldier's funerals where they are accusing them of all sorts of stuff and I think they are satanic but people devoid of discernment call them fundamentalists. Anyhow...

The most complex TA I use is there to tell me when to take a break :D

What is with all the goodie goodies on here dissing people that are subprime? Are you happier than they are?? I think not, if you were happy you would not give a rats ass if somebody was renting wheels or whatever. I see wheel renting as a possible business opprotunity.. the glass is not half...

Leo Laporte got a call from a guy that was reviewing the Iphone, they tested it on air and it seemed that the speaker phone was pretty good.

Tradestation has a grid application that handles 1000 issues at a time, 2000 if your indicators do not access history.

I think Jimmy Jam is correct. Frosty needs to revamp that thing, the losing days are just too big, too unexpected apparently, and too often.

I don't think it is just traders. When I worked as an Electronics tech I noticed the same thing. Techs would master a job and then their value was higher and they shared nothing with anybody of any value. Being trained by another tech was usually just torture, they would have the task of talking...

They call that sector rotation sometimes. There are variations on the theme but it works if you use it in a strong market period. There was an outfit that had a name that I have been trying to recall for the longest time and I still can't, it started with T.O., they returned 23% per year for 15...

Edna and Harvey are in the retirement home. One day Edna tells him "If you pull down your pants I can tell you your age". He pulls his trousers down, she is checking and poking and lifting and looking. Finally she says "you're 81 years old". Harvey is amazed she got it right and exclaims "how...

I like the YM and I really don't even have a good reason why other than it works for me.
