    The course was very thorough but covered mostly the basics. What it did provide that many other courses do not was coverage of synthetic positions and a lot on gamma scalping. Not many specific set-ups or methodologies, but rather the knowledge to go and tinker on your own. I also believe...

    Tradestation and DTN

    I purchased a copy of ts2000i and want to use it with my DTN feed. Has anyone used the "metaserver" product from the "TS support" website? Has anyone used any thing else that has worked? thanks -DT

    Video card for Dell 30" monitor

    I just bought a new 30" dell monitor and am concerned to see the experience listed below. I'm not much of a hardware guy so I was hoping to have some of you who have already been through this point me in the right direction. I'm running a Dell server and will probably pick up a new machine in...

    FCM question

    Thank You Rachel. My concern here is looking at the cash on hand a lot of these discount brokers have. I've been looking at a few that clear through much larger firms and was hoping that it would be sort of an insurance policy. If a firm I was trading with went under I have no doubt that I...

    Segregated account

    This is exactly what I was looking for. There are a lot of firms out there that have very little excess capital. Thanks

    Segregated account

    Where would you find information on how much cash each brokerage firm has put aside to secure its customer's funds. I think this is called the firms "segregated account". Also is this with the clearing firm they use or somewhere else? Thanks

    Using Tradestation as a charting package

    Thanks MM. I have an account with Open ECry and they have been great. I hate the idea of opening a separate account just to be able to have my charts and indicators. This may be a bit further from the listed topic, but can anyone share their experience with TS as a broker (good or Bad)?

    Using Tradestation as a charting package

    Thanks for all the responses. I've tried a few of the other charting packages. Investor RT while very capable was not very intuitive. I am just getting started with Ensign now, but it seems that I'm spending more time trying to figure out how to use the tools than I am working on actual...

    Using Tradestation as a charting package

    I'd like to use Tradestation as a charting package, but have no desire to open a Tradestation brokerage account. I would buy the commercial version but have my doubts as to the continued support of the boxed software package. Has anyone else dealt with this issue and how were you able to...

    What's your favorite trading quote of all time?

    "When people say the market is overvalued and there's a bubble, whatever that means, they're talking about a handful of stocks. Most of these stocks are reasonably priced. There's no reason for them to correct violently anytime in the year 2000." -Larry Wachtel, Market analyst for Prudential...

    Market Profile -- who needs it?

    I was looking at the CISCO site and agree with the posters here that it is a mess. I don't know if the course is worth the money or not, however the absense of any feedback anywhere on the web dosen't bode well for it. I'd like to do my own reading and play around with the tool in my trading...

    Diamond Jim Market Timing Indicator

    Has anyone seen or used this indicator. A quick serch of the web turns up no reference to this formula, but I'm curious about how it's computed. For further backgroud take a look at the site where I stumbled across it: http://www.unrulydog.com/ It's listed under the "market indicators"...

    After a little back and forth Ron and Brett followed through. I recieved a refund from my credit card company last month and I recieved the complimentary copy of the courseware just a few days ago. I am going to take a few weeks and work through the material (20 video CDs) and try a of of the...

    IV, I've actually been a member since '04. I enjoy reading much of what is on ET but have not had enough experience to add anything of real value. As you can see from my only other post I'm still learning. I have found quite a few threads that have helped me understand things a little better...

    Thanks Brett, I emailed Ron yesterday and I think he is taking care of it. You might want to validate your systems as I have sent 10 different emails over the past 6 weeks and after the sixth got a response saying someone was looking into it and would let me know the status in 24 hours...

    Straddle?

    How much less does the IV move for further out options? Is the extra time factored in and assumptions that the IV will eventually revert to it's mean?
