Omigosh - this is so true. Great trading is about automated response, reaction time, instinct. Thinking is not in the equation....especially for short-term day trading. Yeah, doing big deals like Stevie Cohen's Wet Seal stake requires much research, analysis and "thinking". That's a whole...

Pretty slick. Where can I see more information on this ?

The CROX "story" was just such a CROCK....everyone knew it, but the hedgies just love to throw their weight around and slam the short sellers. Big game.

What's up with Neoticker and the outrageously slow optimization calcs ?

What would convince you ? A copy of his account statement that you can verify by calling the broker ?

Good discussion. When you say "buy it sell it", are you referring to a SAR type of system that is always in the market (Stop And Reverse) ? Clearly this discussion should also review the various "premises" embodied in any winning trading system which by it's nature must be able to successfully...

You hit it EXACTLY Joab....their API is weak in this regard. Now If they had an OPENPOSITIONS worksheet that they posted to, this whole thing would be a snap....probably 10 lines of code max.

I'd be interested in this TS2000i clone if they implemented just one important feature missing from Tradestation: The ability within code to determine WHICHEXIT and WHICHENTRY were triggered for each trade. This would be enormously helpful in cases of multiple entries and exits.....for...

I looked into this and contacted Genesis tech support. The API to Excel is all controlled thru the workstation and it appears as though there is no easy way to determine which positions are open vs. those that have closed. The API to Excel provides for 3 separate sheets: quotes, orders...

The lack of a select/case statement was one huge omission in Easy Language. Not sure if they added it in the online 8.3 version or not. Having to use all of those nested if-then-else statements was a "bear" in TS2000i. Did multicharts add Select/Case ?

Can you enumerate these flaws in detail ?

Well, you had a NICE hundred points out of it at 2 pm.....and incredibly, this stupid market is trying to rally once again despite $90 crude oil. Dunno...it appears the bulls are hanging onto their Bernanke put options with great confidence.

Can you imagine doing this for 20 Java apps ? Pity that Sun didn't come-up with a better mechanism to allow quick switching of JVM versions under Windows. (Note: the Java control panel app only appears to do this; it doesn't really work).

Yes, but unfortunately, you're the exception. It seems many others have witnessed definite problems with JDK 1.6.

I dunno....ThinkorSwim has some very fine Java developers and their platform has been stuck on 1.05_11 for 9 months. I asked about moving up to 1.06_02 and they said it was buggy. I am hoping the latest _03 release will work for them as I could use the speed improvement.

Exactly...especially with Asian markets falling off a cliff....

He should go 400 points....and then we'll be like Japan was in the 90's....zero interest rates and still a bad economy because no one is lending.

Try Orion Financial... http://www.orion-trading.com/ They have a huge office in Wayne, PA....that is pretty much empty...probably a dozen or so traders there now. They'll probably let you set-up your entire group. Negotiate well however.

Whew...we closed very near the lows of the day. "Sad Money" show coming up soon....right after "My Fast Money is Gone".

GUYS: It's the Bernanke PUT option that's been given to all traders. The market can't go down because it knows Big Ben is going to step in quickly.
