Exactly. Best deal for someone starting out would be: 5$/1000 90% payout 40:1 leverage $150/mo software fee In fact, I was offered this recently. Once you are established and proven, THEN you can work a better deal.

Also, Laser has a terrible, undocumented method of linking to Excel whereas Sterling Pro has a wonderful, robust API that works great.

Bingo. Story: buddy of mine got into real estate back in 1988 - pushed by his father who had done so well. 1992: tried to sell his place, no bids at his purchase price. 1994: the same 1996: the same 1999: finally sold at his purchase price: zero percent return Of course real estate...

Same here...waiting....and waiting....for standalone TWS 879. IB has this insane policy of holding back the beta standalone version about 30 days after it is introduced as the same browser-based version. Frankly, I don't "get it".

Ominous.

Yeah, well....read and weap....especially if you are a perma-bull: The Next Dominos: Junk Bond And Counterparty Risk By Ted Seides, CFA Financial history doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes. Earlier this year, losses from subprime mortgages revealed that the financial markets had...

Ominous. This must be a sign. I mean if it were 666.01 or 666.84 or 666.34 or......let's count the possibilities. But 666.00 ? Incredible. Hello March 2000.

Nice Surf ! And OMIGOSH, THIS HAS GOT TO BE OMINOUS: GOOG Closes today at EXACTLY 666.00 ? Did you see that ? Looks like break of 12,500 Dow will happen this week. This is setting-up to be a "Red, Red Christmas" for long-term investors.

Dunno, but software, especially at the O/S level is pretty "dumb" i.e. doesn't know what your app is really doing, or how many messages are hitting it, etc. Well, it may keep track of certain stats, but it surely doesn't have the logic to generate a dialog box saying : "Hey, app XYZ is...

Baloney. Try it (instead of talk about it) and see. If you are going to control your Windows environment effectively, get PriorityMaster. An aside: talking about something this technical and esoteric is nonsense without the input of the Windows/XP kernel designer. Anybody know where he is ? I...

You must download the API. When you do this, there will be a TWSDDE.XLS file there in the "\jts" directory. Self-explanatory after that.

Hey Surf, what about this call ?: 11-17-07 10:21 AM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote from marketsurfer: we remain flat in the YM and across the board excepting LONG LULU. Reiterate projection made earlier of DJIA sub 10500 by November...

Yeah, right...."good to go.....south". 12,500 DJX looming large. Breaks ? => panic maximus

I love this story ! Service providers just love to blame everyone and everything but themselves !!

Well, that explains why they have no ACH functionality for futures accounts....but they do have it for stocks/options.

This has been the big problem lately....and it gets obfuscated with the blizzard of new TWS releases. Everyone thinks it due to a release of TWS when in fact it is not.

I agree....and it generates very fast compiled code...and no runtime is required. Only issue is : will the company be in business in 5 years ? It is interesting to see that several of their large clients are the big NYC firms...Goldman included. Strange however that Microsoft is listed as a...

You're good, but you're big problem is that you don't have enough moving averages on your charts. Ha !

Obviously, he's indicating SHORT. But...the real panic will not occur until 12,500 taken out with ease. After that event, then 500 point down days will be a common occurence. Fasten your seat belt.

Interesting strategy......this is like McDonald's going "upscale" and telling customers: no orders under $10 permitted. Could backfire.
