Jerry, I am pumped about Medved Trader ... can't wait to get a shot at being on your Beta Team! Question: Quite some time ago, as a Schwab Customer, I was able to use them as a data source for QT. I suspect that the TD deal may have been the issue, but for whatever reason it became...

I thought that sounded fishy... but I guess I just didn't question it or dig deep enough in IB's info. Thank you for the assist!! T

I am looking to pull in the spot price for the Greenback for a system I am experimenting with. DTN wants $60 plus a NYBOT $60 exch fee to add real time Spot. Can anyone recommend an alternative/substitute to get the price down? If my system would turn out to fire on all cylinders I will...

My daughter wanted a Mac since all her buddies at her college music school had them so I thought I would go look up the Apple site and get her one. I always had very good success in the Wintel enviro, but I thought why not try something new? ...learn something new. Well, I hit their home page...

Can you give us a feel for the improvement of the quad over the dual? I use TWS with Amibroker slurping data out of the backend. It works pretty well so far...but I am thinking about upgrading and adding a few more futures symbols and extra displays. Are you running more than two screens...

I was thinking about parking some cash for interest from the Aussie for a little downtime, but at IB I found their Ideal exchange running 50+ plus pips spread. That seems pretty steep for moneychanging. Any alternative suggestions? Thanks! B

IB exports statement data in: HTML Word Excel MS Money Quicken Gainskeeper CapTools TradeLog What software import processes offer the best $Cost/Time value for IB users at tax time? What is your software recommendation for a swing trader with 200-300 trades per year and a trader...

Qcharts and Esig were a bit pricey when compared against DTNIQ. $85+ compared to $50/month to AMI Broker users (exch fees are separate for both). DTN has the TSX included in that price. The $420/year saved would pay for the computer tower replacement every 4 yr. I ran DTN on demo a couple...

Good point Tom...tnx for the reply.... Looking for stocks...weekly at a minimum ....by the session would be great. Currencies would be my next pick. Pi Trading data looks good at first glance...I expect the 800 stocks they carry are probably exactly the price/volume runners I am looking...

I need 90 days worth of 5 minute data (ongoing basis) to backtest a new system I am working on. US AND Canada would really fill the bill, but I can get by now with just the US data. I have been searching the net ... but I just find el cheapos that don't really have the full depth or the...

I should have thought of that...cool....I just checked the chart and agree...I will pass that along to my friend. What is the likelyhood that the Looney will hit parity with the Greenback? I appreciate the group comments....

A friend of mine heard me talking about CAD/US bull mkt and asked me how US Citizens could buy Canadian 1 yr (or 6 month Tbills to park cash rather than in a US money market). What is the best way for his retired parents to buy Canadian Tees with reasonable slippage? (or something really...

I am an Engineer and have to agree with Matt to a large extent. However, the ultimate key to success is to control your own destiny...technically and economically. That means if you really want to be a person that can create value through design, it behooves you to go one step further and...

Williams is the kind of guy that people either love or hate it seems. I read a couple of his books after I started using %R and found some pretty good success. It does have some leading characteristics which provide a nice heads up, but you can't use it standalone or it will give you...

Gotta trade...At the risk of becoming the next comedian... I think Tempur-Pedic International (TPX) is worth a look. It could be good for either a swing or a longer term position trade. The company has taken a 50% hit over the last 6 months which has drawn out the class action vampires and...

Stocks and Commodities mag has three straightforward and practical articles that set my feet on the right path to avoid losing money. As they say ... "The longer you stay, the longer you can play." I learned from these how to max my 'heat' at a tolerable level while staying well back from the...

I have had pretty good luck with swing trading and thought it might be interesting to hear from other swing traders that have a 'favorite' or 'best ever' stock that they have found easier-than-normal to trade and continually reap profits from. I will start with my two best... NCX - Nova...

I agree....that is why I am watching it...not buying it. I watch about 10x more stuff than I own. I wish I could say getting the form of bullion I prefer was easy...CSFB is not exactly advertising their product. Hope one of you more experienced bullion buyers can offer another route to...

I have been watching CEF for a while as well. I have been looking at putting a little physical away as the price drops a little. I really like the Credit Suisse Ingot Cards. They are nicely packed in plastic with serial numbers for long term identification. However, I have popped a couple of...
