Historical data is always tricky. For decision making, it may be useful to look at non adjusted data, since on the tape, it may be perceived as a price fluctuation. But when dealing with performance and returns, it's important to adjust because from a stock holder perspective, holding 100@28...

Sent them an email and got: "Already replied several times on this issues today. The FINVIZ charts are dividend adjusted just like stockcharts.com" I compared the close and the adjusted close from yahoo historical and does seem to fit. Yahoo! does not use the adjusted close in the...

This is very interesting. It looks like the price scale is two low by about $1-1.5 for that whole period? Have you feed that back to FinViz? I'm intrigued now. It doesn't look to be a dividend adjustment problem or a split adjustment problem but it could be I guess... You say you've...

Nobody is gonna offer that... not the way I think you want it. You can lease a server in any datacenter and get good internet access, then collect data from wherever you want using that internet pipe. OR You can collocate with an exchange in particular, they will disseminate their...

If speed is what you're after, you would need to collocate to different places depending on products. Chicago for futures and commodities and NY/NJ for US equities, etc. Collocating is expensive and they give you the rack or cage and the cross-connect, you need to do the rest (networking...

I won't comment on the actual valuation, a lot goes into these numbers. But I think FB is a lot more than a vehicle for ads. It's a marketing gold mine. It's what marketers have been after for years, direct feedback on the ads, on the products and everything else. Without contacting people to...

I'm researching this for someone else... I saw several other threads cover this but never really saw an answer. In this, there trading done with an institution accounts (IB) under an LLC or Partnership. Business has it own EIN but no payroll. Just two partners. Seems like all the...

I have a follow-up question on this... More to do with Bookkeeping than with Taxes. For tax purposes, I download everything from IB into Tradelog and it's pretty easy to generate the report. But I would like to do bookkeeping in QuickBooks also. Importing from IB to QBPro is really a prob...

Thanks for all the info Neo.

The 13F-HR is a mandatory SEC filing in the US required by a lot of money managers to indicate large positions (over a certain %) in various instruments. Several websites (like: http://www.gurufocus.com/ probably, I'm speculating), individuals and other money managers use these filings to see...

Need a little help from someone with experience reading a 13F-HR. Similar questions were posted before: http://elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=112638&highlight=13FHR But no answer came out. I figured I could start a fresh thread. If I see this in a 13F: APPLE INC...

If I could I would "just have the TV mounted on a wall and not mess with the laptop". But because I can't and don't even have access to cable, I use a slingbox (http://www.slingmedia.com/) at home and connect to it with the sling player. Works nicely.

I've been following this thread and I'm looking at HSI's monday morning open right now. I have a couple of noob questions... What kind if target/stop setup is possible on this beast using a 1m chart. Looking at it now, I see a 10 tick spread (10 ticks * HKD50 = HKD 500 or about USD$ 65...

I'm new to this game and collecting data still. I was wondering what experienced traders opinion was of the big ETFs in relation to the indexes themselves. I see more and more people using the Q's, DIA, SPY or the XL_'s to get general market or sector direction (up, down, sideways, trending...

I'm not a frequent poster (quite obviously) or an experienced trader. I also could not read carefully all 25 pages of posts so hopefully I'm not repeating something mentioned earlier... with that out of the way, the random debate has always intrigued me and I wanted to run something by the...

I meant a regular 100mb/1gb LAN with a fiber connection to your ISP. In the US, Verizon FiOS will give you fiber with something like 5mb up and 20mb down. It is not available for all areas yet but gaining in popularity. I assume other provider in various regions offer or will offer something...

What speed DSL are you getting? DSL ranges from 128Kbps to 3Mpbs. On average, service will be 1.5Mbps down and prob only 128Kbps up. So that's the max bandwidth the wire between the demarc (NID) and the router. So honestly, unless the wiring is faulty, you will not have problems. For the...

just FYI, when I compared plus.cnbc.com was slower than a slingbox/slingplay who was in turn slower than real cable. I'm not sure how any of these three compare to the satellite signal. I would think it's something like: Dish > Plus > Slingbox > Cable but don't quote me on that.

exact thing you get on TV minus the ads. For people without TV access really. And you get on demand where you can replay certain clips of interest. For real-time CNBC, it will be hard. If you get faster CNBC at home, put a slingbox and connect there over Internet but I'm not sure you'll beat...

I use QuoteTracker quite a bit. I do access IB through it and I find it very helpful. For the historical backfill and the backfill, go into Options -> Data Sources/Proxy. In there pick the 'Backfill' tab and you should see the 'Auto Backfill' options. One for when a symbol is added and one...
