    The Surf Report

    Start to brace for the "boomer panic" to begin in earnest. A break of Dow 12.5k should do it. However, if 13.1k YM "holds", the double-bottom formed could spark some short-term short-covering.

    Black Tuesday

    No cheering till Dow breaks 13k-even. And.....OH, WOW, that will be HUGE. The boomers will be liquidating those 401ks en masse penalties be damned. Watch how fast it (Dow) hits 12.5k where it should bounce.

    The Surf Report

    Tough day Surf......but tape was weak, weak, weak...after the "head-fakes". Better get Annaland to factor these kind of days into the trading model.

    Smoooooooooooooked at the close

    That is so funny. But think of all those poor girls he "helped". Maybe the net to the overall economy is positive....the girls save their money, start a new business, fill a much-needed niche.

    The Surf Report

    That move would be a BRAVE vote of confidence for the bulls. 13200 YM is critical as a support level. Next-up 13k-even....I've been waiting for that level to be taken-out....for over 3 months now. After that, 12.5k....then.....look out belooooooowwwww. Don't forget...there's a whole...

    Odds Czar: Simple Biases in the Futures Markets 2007

    One might ask why the Russell 2000 exhibited the best relative strength today. Granted, heavily oversold....but there appears to be some nibbling at these low levels.

    Toggling Off DDE Links

    FINALLY, after much research, I discovered the most "elegant" solution in VBA....... 1) place this in your Workbook_Open event procedure: ActiveWorkbook.UpdateRemoteReferences = False ' DDE Links will not start now when workbook opened 2) Place this in a procedure called by a button on a...

    Helicopter Ben - start your engine

    Exactly....I think the market finally came to that conclusion today. Wait till 13k-even on the Dow gets taken-out....that "event" will shake a lot of people out. Wait, that could happen TOMORROW !!

    A Software worth learning for Quant trading

    Interesting stuff. I'd like to see how these data analysis tools could be applied towards either a stock selection model or a trading model.

    the market action is very similar to 2000

    Check out the charts....trend changes are always accompanied by volatility. The Nikkei crash in the 90's was most noteworthy along these lines.

    We've all been thru this before....without the "stats", all of this talk is just time-wasting. Avg $ Win per trade Avg $ Loss per trade Avg Pct Winning Trades # Trades per Month "...just the facts Ma'am....nothin but the facts"

    Toggling Off DDE Links

    Well, since most DDE references are formula-based inside of a cell, there is really no method to turn it off and on. There is a DDERequest method that was designed to allow you to programatically control when the data comes-in, but I discovered that not all DDE servers support this...

    Toggling Off DDE Links

    My experience is that this command does not stop the links from accepting data: Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual The only other way is to blank-out or convert the formulas to a string: Dim eRng as Range, lElementCnt as Long, j as Long Dim DQ as String, strFormu as String DQ =...

    Multicharts has a serious flaw

    I think you mis-stated the problem...re: "position of each strategy". You meant position of each workspace. Tradestation had the same problem.....2 strategies within the same workspace were co-mingled. However, once separated into separate workspaces, the strategies acted independent of the...

    The Legal Dilemma with these prop firms

    It's been discussed before, many times, how dangerous going prop can be. All things considered, you may as well go to a loan shark for your additional capital and trading leverage. Thanks for the heads-up into the legal end of the business.
