That's what makes a market Surf. Your scenario would require the "market" to ignore the costs of this bail-out. I don't think that is going to happen for more than a week or two. One of the long term effects of this bail out will be slow-to-no growth for many years to come. There will be other...

Yes, and thanks...this is quite interesting. I've never fooled around with that iterative recalc setting at all. I would have thought that turning it off would make Excel perform sheet-related "normal" (non-recursive) calcs much faster.

Listen-up...if you are daytrading in today's markets without PROGRAMMABLE alerts or automated trading capability: QUIT NOW. Or you will lose money. Total guarantee. Trust me on this. GM ? Really ? GM ? "Not Definitive" ? Oh, that's a "Tell". My take: Pathetic. I was trading IPIX back in...

And I've got a great "deal" for you.... Seriously...as far as I can see, Keystone's great flaw is they do not recognize anyone with experience. In fact, it's so apparent...I filled-out an application, gave my experience,....and never got a call or acknowledgement. Nothing. Zip, zero, nada...

Sorry...totally baffled by differences of "Method 1" and "Method 2"...please provide more technical details. I really don't understand what was different between the two. The difference is significant...of course.

Surf - 10,300 is the next HUGE break-level for the Dow. Watch that level closely. Once taken-out, we are talking 8,000 or so..... this is cataclysmic in proportions.... the very foundation of Capitalism is being shaken.... and in many ways, now being replaced. Can you say "Social" ? For...

I would be willing to bet that DDERequest within VBA is about 10 times less CPU intensive than placing it on the spreadsheet. Next week, I'll try to prove this. I once compared just moving data from VBA variables to a worksheet vs. placing them into the windows registry. The latter was 5 times...

Clever. I take it you are using Application.OnTime to update the counter every second then ? Well, the other way to do this is via the DDERequest command within VBA that is much better than just placing the DDE references into cells. The DDERequest can be placed on a timer and called as fast...

Wow, good luck....this can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. Complex: use fourier analysis to determine cycle length, see where the last average price value is located in the cycle, then make the projection using the formula derived from the analysis. Simple: take the rate...

It's not a bad idea...however, Excel actually stinks here as well.....if you try to run a procedure that is called upon every change in the DDE cell, you'll overwhelm even the fastest CPUs when running multiple symbols. Some would say 2 second sampling is inadequate. However, having the...

Same old, same old....big commitment in their training program is required regardless of your trading experience. The cost of the training is about equivalent to the min. deposit required at most prop firms.

Anyone know when the next release of Ninja will be out ? I tried to get a response some time ago from them, and they were a bit evasive. I have a funny feeling there are going to be some major changes to it...much like Tradestation going from TS4 to TS2000i. Yeah, your custom code would work...

Looks great, but the screen shots on the website are in German. Does this have an English version to it ?

With some prop firms, you can't even MENTION futures let alone trade them. I made a comment once in pre-market trading about futures in a prop firm's chatroom and I was quickly chastised by the moderator: "no futures talk in here". Futures to prop firms are like silver crosses to vampires.

This multi-broker "solution" sucks because not all brokers support the same order entry and trading platform. In fact, they try to lock you in. You'll need an army of tech support people and programmers for that set-up.

Can you say "circular buffer" for indicators/functions and can you say "maxbarsback" ? Those two features alone are just so "missing" in Ninja. I could name a dozen more. If you don't know the above, then you have "no clue" into the technical details of a great trading platform. Go Home. Do...

Funny that the solution is NEVER to reduce government spending or the size of our bureaucracy....when in fact, that is the BEST course of action right now.

Has IB Finally endorsed and suggested JVM version 6 ? It's only been out now like 2 years.....and was too buggy for IB to recommend ?

Ninja Trader's the new kid on the block and becoming quite popular. However, it's still somewhat primitive compared to Easy Language....and translating from EL to C# without all of the facilities that Tradestation had built in will be expensive. You will have to essentially replicate some of the...

It could much worse....you could be sitting in a prop shop with these people right beside you !!!
