I haven't been able to download the latest update and log in to my TOS account since this Saturday, January 18. I keep getting stuck at the update screen. Anyone else experiencing the same problems?

Cheers. Read all except Rookie's Guide to Options (but read Natenberg) and Trade With Passion (will check that one out). From this list, I can confirm that Trading in the Zone is really top-notch, but it is psychological stuff, nothing actionable. I like Carter for his actionable ideas...

Care to elaborate on why you feel sorry for me? Which book do you find value in? Thanks.

Does anybody have experience with Carter's subscription services? Are they any good? I mean the book is awesome in my opinion and you can see his live trades in TOS Live account every day as a free video. Why are people in this forum marking him as a charlatan and salesman?

Why did you list John Carter here? His book is pretty solid in terms of the usefulness and practicability of the ideas presented there and you can easily see his live trades TOS live platform in free videos that he is posting every day on his website. I don't see anything charlatanistic...

Could you post the link to the BRIC-debunking thread, please? Thanks.

Hello, I am looking for a high quality options backtesting software that is able to backtest not only P/L, but also Greeks and draw historical options payoff charts. I am currently using PaperMoney from ThinkOrSwim which is ok, but one can only backtest P/L in there and not Greeks. I know...

Hello everyone, I have been trying to create a paper money demo with TOS for options analysis (I trade at IB). However, I keep getting an error message even when trying to create the account from a U.S.-based proxy server. TDI customer support wasn't able to help me. Anybody has experience...

Thanks for the great posts Dunstan, much appreciated! I am also keeping up with the COT videos you speak about. I am currently developing a trading system based on COT, as we spoke about in the different thread. Do you know if I can find an up-to-date COT index for free somewhere? On...

Thanks Dunstan, I knew about these charts, they show them for free on Barchart.com as well. My problem is getting the COT index for free (it is an oscillator, something like RSI, but calculated from current and historical net positions rather than prices). I'll make sure I read your...
