    Tradestation Woes - Must pick a new Platform

    Huge, huge, I mean HUGH learning curve with this "solution": dot-net C# Ninja object model Ninja event model You've got like 1 man-year of learning at minimum here. Beating the elegance and simplicity of Easy Language is no easy task.

    The Surf Report

    Very fitting for this bear market and extremely appropriate for a confirmed bear like Surf ! Also...1975 ? Wasn't the nadir of one of the worst bear markets in history ? The parallels here are a bit spooky.

    TradeStation - give me the real picture

    Yeah, but this has been mentioned and discussed "ad nausium" for months and months. Why hasn't there been any progress made ? Reason: I think Bill and Ralph are shopping the company.

    The Surf Report

    Why did the House defeat that measure ? The big oil lobbies ? I, for one, am sick of all of these special interest groups, lobbiests, and other PACs.

    The Surf Report

    Surf - This last move has been very sharp....and thus, not sustainable IMHO. This time I think it's prudent to use some buy stops above the market. Some of the rationale behind this is the potential for a drop in crude oil. Once again, this will only be a temporary bounce up. If we don't crash...

    Google Finance follows Yahoo: real time datafeed

    For all of the supposedly great talent Google has, they've been really slow getting this realtime feed deployed. Also, their stock scanner really sucks...it doesn't even work the last time I tried to use it. Finally, Yahoo's AJAX tool kit got superior reviews by programmers compared to Google's...

    Surf - cover at 11,500 ? Huge support level.

    ThinkorSwim good for equities and futures trading?

    Reliable platform, reliable data feed. Emini futures commish a bit high ($7 RT all-in) and margin req. is high ($3000 to $4000 per contract). Platform is geared for longer-term trading. It's nowhere near Tradestation as far as scripting capability or Ninja Trader as far as advanced order...

    The Surf Report

    This is interesting Surf....Dow weekly. Question is: To what year will the Dow's level revert ? Right now we are at August 2006. Could we see 2005 levels ? (approx. 10,500) http://mysite.verizon.net/vze39gvv/Trading/Dow-5years.gif

    Microsoft Extends Support for Windows XP To 13 Years

    There begs a huge question in all of this: How did Microsoft botch the development of Vista so badly ? Was it all of the outsourcing going on there ?

    The Surf Report

    Interesting timing....how will this affect the election ? Clearly, many boomers holding IRA and 401k accounts are likely to be in a terrible mental (and financial) state if they haven't sold by then. So they are likely to vote for whomever says "I can fix this mess".

    Thinkorswim vs. Tradestation?

    Thinkscript: similar to Tradestation Easy Language. Allows building of custom indicators. Ultimately will permit auto-trading of stocks, options, and futures. https://www.thinkorswim.com/tos/thinkScriptHelp.jsp?laf=bright

    TWS unstable since Thurs 6/19

    A couple of things: 1) IB's software release upgrades are always painful. It's best to remember your config settings and then UNINSTALL everything, then re-install the new release and then re-config. I know, I know...this is a huge pain and time-waster. 2) It's dangerous to be using Java's...

    Thinkorswim vs. Tradestation?

    Until TOS rolls-out a mature version of ThinkScript, there is no comparison. TOS is reliable, but for auto-trading, or semi-auto trading, Tradestation is still the king....by a long shot. TOS promises a update by July, but their scripting language has languished for almost a year, so I wouldn't...

    TS2000i to IB TWS Bridge

    I asked about the TS2000i support directly with Ninja a while ago...they said it only supports the new Tradestation 8 platform.
