    Has anybody built their own computer here?

    "The only need for a $3k machines are gaming, engineering, or audio/video processing/editing." One reason for having very high spec might be high data crunching requirements e.g Radarscreen or Neoticker with several thousand symbols or something like that. Anothe reason migh be so you don't...

    IQFeed data vs other data providers

    Warning: My experience was that ESignal Asian data is corrupted to the point of being unuseable. Try Metastock Quotecenter/Reuters Bridgestation product.

    Trading in Brazil?

    "standing water in the rainy season in spots, but no marsh. Its all sand" Could have been it, and why it seemed like marsh (was dark) They used to stand on the shoreline and wait for baitfish to come close in then throw a net over them (from the shore). Got there by boat from a small...

    Trading in Brazil?

    That national park is also a marsh - I know, I went through it in the back of a pickup truck. Brought my own mulher (actually a titled law student) from Fortaleza, just as well as there did not seem to be that much availability then. Sounds like the magic of a small fishing village I...

    Acer 24" Any good for trading ES?

    I have an Acer 19" and it is terrible. My Samsung 191T's on the other hand are great monitors. I will buy Samsung next time and shun Acer. Samsung make a 24" available from Amazon.

    How secure/protected are your assets at your Futures Broker

    IB apparently sweeps it overnight into an account that falls under equities regulatory protection which is a little better. (SIPC or SPIC or whatever it is.)

    How secure/protected are your assets at your Futures Broker

    If another client incurs a liability then the remaining accounts can be used to pay off this liability. That's right, if someone goes bust your money is used to pay his debts. They don't even sell off the brokers shareholders assets first. It's like if your neighbour stops paying his...

    Macro book recommendations

    Macroeconomic Essentials, Understanding Economics in the News. Kennedy. If you can reach the stage when you are geting correct answers to the exercises in the back you will then have a good grasp. They really check your understanding of how it all fits together.

    Realtime filter/screener

    Take a look also at Tymora - there is now a $50/month version. It scans a subset (defined on liquidity + volatility???) of the market (around 2500 stocks??) for a number of predefined criteria, many/most of which are what you probably would be looking for. I use Radarscreen, and Metastock for...

    Ultimate Test Of Stoned Investing:

    "Research indicates that low levels of serotonin in the brain can lead to the underlying inability to handle powerful feelings which can results in impulsive acts, aggressive behaviors, poor judgment, and self-destructive tendencies. According to the Society for Neuroscience, in experiments...

    solution to IB's customer service

    Kiwi has a valid point, the low commissions means something has to be taken from elsewhere. If you want to be the low cost producer it has to permeate every corner of the company* - horrible companies to work in by the way. I think one low cost solution to a serious issue is to install a...

    TS8 Radarscreen Pennant Brkout UP

    Yes it does help, but it is not the actual function - it is the explanatory notes - just being accurate here, not ungrateful :)

    Nana, thanks, that is exactly it.

    TS8 Radarscreen Pennant Brkout UP

    I think the function code is in a function called pennant - just tried to verify Nana's code and 'pennant' in the body of Nana's code was flagged as not recognised by easylanguage - suggesting it is a missing function.

    TS8 Radarscreen Pennant Brkout UP

    Skepticaltrader, thanks, very much appreciated but it is the Radarscreen version that I really need and from what you posted it would seem that I need the function code as well. Nana, do you have the accompanying function code (which I suspect is needed - but i could be wrong)

    TS8 Radarscreen Pennant Brkout UP

    Aw, c'mon, someone must have it. Just a quick copy and paste would really help me. WRT to intellectual property, as far as I am aware this indicator is based on the code in an article on scanning for pennants by Marcos Katsanos in TASC. He provided the Metastock code and in other articles of...

    TS2000i tracking center window "jammed"

    Yes I agree, it has been a brutal, poorly documented learning curve, with each problem you finally solve or work around immediately being replaced by the next on the list. I would say allow 2 years just to learn all the nuances, settings, and ways it can trip you up and not function as you want...
