There must be a set of ticks that don't ever change (for example, if you go far back enough, I would imagine that ticks from x years ago will remain the same forever...x being some number greater than zero). I mean, do you really think that historical tick data from 2005 is being changed due to...

I would imagine it is not too difficult to amass a database of tick data from all the stock and futures exchanges from the beginning of time until present. Why Haven't I seen any torrents out there for this kind of thing? Tick data is basically like a history book: actual trades that occurred...

Suppose I open an account with a futures broker and buy a contract of GC (gold). If I hold on to that contract until expiry, will that mean that I will have 100 oz bar of gold shipped to my house? Of course, they would require payment before actually delivering to my house (because only $500...

I recently bought 4 of these for only $225 each with no sales tax. I hope they turn out to be good for trading. I previously used low energy 17" AOPEN monitors. How much of a discount would I have gotten were I to have bought directly from dell? Just curious...

thanks

Thanks Bolimomo. I am severely annoyed that this monitor doesn't have VESA compliance. you mentioned you have monitors. Does LED or LCD really Matter in terms of eye soreness? Thanks

I just found out that the monitors I bought do not support VESA mounting. Does anyone know of a way to mount non-vesa compliant LCDS? Thanks

I bought four 23" LED HP 2511x monitors because of a black friday special (got them for $119.99 plus tax). Here is a link to the product description...

Well I do have AGP video card supporting two monitors and another Matrox Card supporting 4 additional monitors for a total of 6 monitors in my setup. The problem I'm having is that I have 4 gigs of OCZ RAM installed but my system is only detecting 1900MBs in RAM. This is a HUGE difference. I...

Sorry I haven't responded sooner. Do you know what charting package is best to use with IB data feed? If the problem is AMIBROKER then I can switch to something else....but what should I switch to? Thanks

Thanks for the positive comments. I appreciate it. While I'm up so much money in my account now, I have to be very careful that I don't let it get to my head. I need to just keep on doing what I've been doing these past few months and not let my performance affect my decision-making...

I've been scaling into positions with my max position at 6-lots. get out if my initial 1-lot goes bad on me...add more size if position goes for me and let the profits run.....that's basically what i've been doing....

WOW. What an unbelievable month. I made so much money buying bonds this month I am surprising even myself. I won't even say what my account balance is up to now. Needless to say, I am very very happy.....thanks all for hearing me out on this thread.

I recently installed the following video cards into my windows xp professional based system: 1 Matrox MMS g200 quad video card (8mb per monitor) 1 All-In-Wonder ATI dual video card (128mb per monitor) I have six Aopen monitors. my 4 gigs of OCZ RAM is showing up as 1938mb in windows...

Thanks for all the help. I am trying to reduce CPU and RAM consumption in any way possible. I reverted my windows XP desktop to "CLASSIC" and clicked on "optimize for performance" in the system settings of windows xp. I am currently in a position so I have not restarted my computer yet to see...

I think the problem is with IB not with my charting software. The more charts I have up, the slower the backfill is and the more likely my system freezes

I use amibroker to accept the data from IB. Now you say quotetracker will be able to handle huge dataload....but the problem is not with AMIBROKER but rather with IB not feeding the data to AMIBROKER fast enough thus causing my system to freeze.....now how would quotetracker work any better?

One name for you: SPUD WEBB, shortest player in NBA history quite successful.... Now if you are telling the people who really don't belong in this game to go home, I understand you. But what I'm saying is that the financial markets have a way of weeding out those who really don't belong...

Go home? That's your advice to people who try "real hard" but don't touch success? I disagree. Determination, perseverence, unrelenting drive to succeed will get you where you want to be. I don't believe I'll ever give up my dreams of ultimate trading success. I'll either die rich or die...

Let me correct myself: there are no arbitrage opportunities that I've been able to find in the financial markets. What most "ARB" guys do is really not "GUARANTEED MONEY" with the exception of CONTANGO operations in oil which have costs associated with storing oil and etc....and after all such...
