    What about DLL calls within easy language ? How does it handle them ? Does Traderstudio support the call of DLL modules ?

    Stop orders in Excel (Genesis Laser)

    Without the source code, you must re-create OMS from scratch using the API and then add a lot of GUI and persistence features to make it faster to enter stop orders. If it were simple, Genesis would have done it by now. Another thing to consider: if you spend money on this effort, there's...

    Stop orders in Excel (Genesis Laser)

    Still no improvement after 6 months ? OMIGOSH. Laser tech support is now non-existent. Previously, it was just horrid. Now it has stepped down a notch.

    Vanguard's John Bogle pushing for a Transaction Tax on Stock Trading.

    What bullshit ! What about taxing the OBSCENE profits of the CME group ? And what about this board member ? http://www.marketswiki.com/mwiki/Charles_P._Carey He looks like someone from the mob ! Yeah, that right...we're getting "taken" by the mob. And where's the CFTC in all of this ? THEY...

    The prop trading game just doesn't seem to be improving, does it ? Didn't you instead mean to say "SCAMWOW !" ?

    Trading and Frugality.

    Interesting comment and quite close to home for me. A short story: had an uncle who did quite well in the insurance business. I was pretty close to him from youth thru adult years. He finally passed away last year. He was always watching his money and we would talk about the stock market quite...

    Looking for a programmer

    You must become a Hubb Developer first. Until then, you couldn't program one line of code.

    A comparison of 4 bear markets and where we are at today...

    On what fundamental basis ? Earnings ? Employment ? Deficit ? Any move even remotely near 10k would be purely technical at this point.

    Futures brokers are greedy bastards

    Yes, but this is due to our beloved Sharon Hruska Brown, former CFTC commissioner, who permitted the consolidation of exchanges thereby eliminating competition.

    Futures brokers are greedy bastards

    Complaining about a $5 r/t rate ? TOS charges $7 per r/t. And what about 10 years ago, remember those exhorbitant commission rates back then ? I think you are forgetting their tremendous overhead and cost of doing business. If you find $4 per r/t at that volume, TAKE IT. Oh, and speaking of...

    How did Anek make a 100 grand today?

    Interesting approach and I tried that in the summer of 2007. Lost 8 out of 10 trades. It was incredible and a testimony as to why one strategy won't work forever.

    $60 Trillion Loss (Great Depression 2009)

    I no Marc Faber, but here goes: 1) Business cycles are for real 2) Booms are always followed by busts 3) No one can predict with 100% accuracy the future levels of financial markets (Ask Abby Jo Cohen !!) 4) Best to let the free markets quickly make the necessary adjustments as government...

    Flawed regulators make for misery on Wall Street

    OK- point well taken. So..... Let's put em all in a cave. And slide a rock in front of it ! And hang a sign on the rock: "SEC Headquarters"

    Flawed regulators make for misery on Wall Street

    I can't believe Mary Schapiro is going to be running the SEC....unbelievable ! Remember Sharon Hruska-Brown who had headed the CFTC and managed to eliminate exchange competition so that e-mini fees remain high and are going higher ? I think Mary is going to do something stupid like that too...

    Reversion To the Mean (RTM) Intraday Strategies

    I never was enamored with Bollinger Bands....the logic seems kind of stupid: Whenever there is a rapid move in one direction, the OPPOSITE BAND gets expanded and then it is a mile away from the price action. So why even show it then ? Look at August time-frame on that chart...

    blew my account can I ever recover?

    I find it very strange he is not giving us any details (trades, equity curve, style, methods, money management, bet sizing, etc). Nothing has been divulged.
