    Health Insurance

    I have no experience with NASE, but recall seeing an article a couple of years ago stating that NASE is not so much an association as it is a sales arm of one particular insurance company - apparently it was started by the insurance company, and does not have many other actual functions or...

    Off-Topic Temporary Thread

    The moderator can speak for himself on moving or removing the posts, but I'd note that this thread is in the Journal section. Don should be able to expect that the thread he has started - "Don's Openings" - would remain centered around his opening order strategy, plus discussion and questions...

    VBA for Excel and Access - Book Recommendations?

    Good recommendations above. Another good VBA reference is on the Microsoft Developers Network site, click the library link. Includes developers references, language reference, and technical articles. Look under Office Solutions Development in the menu tree. http://msdn.microsoft.com...

    Don's Openings, Part 6 2003

    With predatorpro can these amounts - stops, profit targets, trailing stops, etc - be unique for each symbol, or are they the same for all symbols?

    Don's Openings, Part 6 2003

    Yes this works - part of the time. Yes, it probably has been automated, if done right it would probably make it work more of the time. No, nobody's willing to share that. I expect that people will share with me the basic principles and the occasional tip, but building the foundation (ie...

    Wizetrade...these audio/videos say it all ;-)

    Another legal system complaint - I just got a check from a settlement for a class-action lawsuit I didn't even know I was part of, something about finance charges on a credit card, which I rarely pay (I mean the finance charges, we almost always pay off the full balance every month). My...

    The SPAM is killing me

    Another good method: It's likely that your ISP issues an address which is essentially your account number and cannot be changed. My approach is to make that address as long, complex and random as I can, then NEVER give it out to anyone. So long as the ISP doesn't sell the customer list, any...

    Wizetrade...these audio/videos say it all ;-)

    I don't know if it's unique to the US, but we have tons of politicians, beaureaucrats (sp?), and the media telling us that we have a right to be protected from our own stupidity. If we buy into a scam without research, education and thinking, it must be someone else's fault!! There are plenty...

    Do you actually track this by which specialist, or indirectly by tracking which stocks provide the best results?

    Don's Openings, Part 6 2003

    I thought I had a good understanding of the uptick rule, but on reflection I'm not 100% sure I understand how it applies to opening orders. Is it necessary for the short sale opening order limit price to be higher than yesterday's close? In which case I could have problems in on those days...

    backtesting VB excel code

    Good question. I'm sure fortuna will have his own answer, here's mine. I'm thinking that for any particular task there are a number of different tools that could do the job, for the job at hand Access and VBA seem best to me. I do have and use MetaStock for system testing. For this...

    backtesting VB excel code

    Doing the same thing right now, learning VBA in Access. Here's a couple of resources I've been using - First, get a book from the library, something on the basics of VBA, just to get the broad overview if you don't already have it. This step is not necessary if you aleady have the basics...
