    DTNIQ - Anyone try it out?

    Until some time near the end of last year I had a subscription that was used for backup quotes on another computer. Hopefully, the new version is much faster than the version I had back then. Even on an 866 MHz computer their software ran slow. If you have been using software that does less...

    Quit my job today!

    <I>Are there any brain surgeons out there who will tell me how it’s done? Or maybe point to a few good books? </I> There has got to be a chat room somewhere to teach you this skill. It's probably just a matter of how much you care to pay per month. :cool:

    Pristine chatrooms - worth $750? or no..?

    Having followed the rise of Velez and Pristine for the last couple years, I must agree with majority here who feel Velez is an opportunist and nothing more. Examples of his style can be observed in the newest Pristine video that concerns option trading. There are two places in the video where it...

    Beating Buy and Hold

    I might add here that about a year ago John Bogle, the father of the index fund, appeared on CNBC with some interesting commentary. One of the first things he said was, "Now is not the time to be getting in an index fund." Isn't that odd? It should really tell you something when indexing's major...

    Trading with David Nassar

    FloridaTrader, Don Bright is a nice guy. I enjoy reading his work in <I>Technical Analysis Of Stocks & Commodities</I> magazine. But on this point he is just dead wrong. His bias is in plain view for everyone to see, whether or not he is aware of it. I have read many of his posts here on...

    Networked computers for trading

    larry, Because you are on a cable modem connection, your best solution is to get a router like the very popular Linksys DSL model. You really should have firewall protection. This device will provide it to your network. Be sure to buy the 4-port version of the router instead of the 1-port...

    Beating Buy and Hold

    What a coincidence that you should mention MCI. The fallen stock price has many investors worried that the company will suspend the dividend payments. This makes a lot of sense because the RBOCs began offering long distance service quite some time ago. Their market share continues to increase...

    Beating Buy and Hold

    The seasonal timing system I mentioned basically gets the buyer in at the beginning of November and out at the end of April. That is really all you have to know about the entry and exit, but the actual system refines those dates even further. You can obtain better performance yet. I...

    Beating Buy and Hold

    Regarding the Dogs of the Dow, you should understand that the system does not work any more. Examine the performance listed on the web page whose link appeared earlier. Performance has been declining every year for the past 5 years. The creator of that system was interviewed on one of the...

    TC2000 users please read

    I have never been a TC2000 user. But more than 2 years after receving the demo package in the mail I still receive a junk mail (not e-mail) offer at least once a month. Do you really want to subscribe to this?

    Institutional investors

    Yes, that is correct. Some popular funds and what they are currently buying and selling are listed in that newspaper. Maybe if you combine the information with the Money Flow indicator you might have something. If not, well, then maybe indexing is for you. :D

    Institutional investors

    "Can we find out what the institutions are doing and be on the other side of the order or is this a specialist's opportunity only?" If you want to know what the fund managers are buying and selling just subscribe to IBD. Of course this does not mean that you will be right; only that you will...

    Taxes for QQQ and NQ

    When completing your tax forms don't forget that QQQ is not a stock; it is a Unit Investment Trust (UIT). Read those brokerage statements closely.

    Why Optimization Won't Kill My System and Will It Work In The Future?

    Here are some things I have observed as a system trader and user of TradeStation: 1) Optimization works well. In fact, to not optimize can be a deadly mistake. By not optimizing you might have inadvertently chosen the worst possible parameters and would not know it until after you have begun...

    Resuming Trading

    Since you traded for 6 months full time you must have learned a lot of the basics when you began. What we don't know is how much you retained or what you think is necessary to re-learn. What time frame did you trade on? Day trade? Swing trade? I am not familiar with the course you mentioned...

    Tradestation

    I too was shocked by this increase. Apparently, the company has been getting too many subscribers for low cost. The e-mail I received from info@tradestation.com states, "Dear Valued TradeStation Subscriber: As you may be aware, the TradeStation monthly subscription rate has recently...

    Beginner who needs direction

    "All of you really believe his story?" No. Absolutely not without independent confirmation. The post was so well worded that it seemed very unlikely the person on the other side of the CRT or flat panel was that young.
