Mr. Pinkman, the best advice I can give you right now is to be very selective on the days you trade and look into adding some kind of filter for your setups. You seem to be trading a breakout/trend type of strategy and using the same setup for everyday. CL tends to have days that chop...

So i'm not the only one who thought about Breaking Bad when I saw the title of this journal. Trading, bitch! Good luck on the journal.. that break-out trade on CL was a thing of beauty this afternoon... I was in at almost the identical entry price... nice after a morning full of chop!!

Not really, lock down Windows, only run a bare minimum of apps for trading, run a whitelisted firewall so it only connects to the trading server and a minimum other sites, turn off updates, etc. The benefit is that you can run other applications on different VMs (database, web server, dns, etc.)...

Sierra Chart runs pretty well under Wine. They have worked on a non .NET version for awhile that is supposed to run easier under Wine/Linux. I don't personally run Wine but it is doable and I've had it working for a couple of years under Linux. Currently I have Windows 7 running in a Virtual...

Here's a website that is pretty useful for financial R users out there. They recently added R API access for a bunch of financial instruments. It is only historical end-of-day but you can't beat the price. They have COT data also. http://www.quandl.com Here is an example command you...

No, it doesn't appear so.

There's an online course from Columbia University through Coursera.org called Financial Engineering and Risk Management. I'm planning on taking it as soon as I finish some Python courses. Apparently you don't need any programming experience but I'd like to try and complete it using Python/R...

Give Vipassana Meditation a try. Here's a manual I started reading recently that gives you a step-by-step guide to get started. Not a quick fix but it works to calm your mind and allow your body to heal naturally. http://www.urbandharma.org/udharma4/mpe.html I've done meditation for 4...

Just some clarification on the last paragraph since it wasn't clearly written. TWS is nothing more than java archive files that are called from a script containing a set of commands using the java run-time executable. These files are the same for Windows, UNIX or Mac but they are called in...

Yeah, I can help if you have some specific questions. The options may have changed slightly since I have an older version than what is now available most likely. It is a little tricky to get working. The major file is IBController.ini. You need to add your TWS login id (IbLoginId=...) and...

I've done this for years so it has been multiple versions of TWS but currently I'm using the UNIX version of TWS version 938.1 from May 1, 2013.

No, you can, despite either type of token (card or fob) you can still have IBController login for you. There have been issues in the past with it re-challenging you but I believe those to be isolated to certain versions of TWS and I have not personally found that to be an issue. I manually...

IBController

I'll check that out. Good video about mindfulness also. Thank you for posting these.

I've been meditating on my own for 3 years. I never understood what the deal with TM was... What on earth would you get from paying $2,500 for a course in TM? I'm not saying you did but it just seems like all you are getting is a mantra for your personal use. If you can help clarify the crux of...

Maybe someone sent Trump a copy of Dreams from my _Real_ Father...:D :D Gotta say, Obama does bear a striking resemblance to Frank Marshall Davis... just saying... Also, Obama's mom was photographed nude by Davis in his house just before she got pregnant. None of this is relevant though...

No there really isn't. Even the kernel is the same since version 12.04. The server software packages being included on the install media is a non-issue because everything is available online from the repos anyway. Even the support is the same now as all 12.04 versions have 5 years of updates...

Android phones run modified java "like" VM called called Dalvik. I looked into it also and it probably isn't impossible but doesn't seem that feasible.You would certainly need a rooted phone. On a side note, how do you like the GS III, have you tried it out yet? I still have a Droid X from...

The only difference between Ubuntu Server and Desktop is that Server does not have a GUI. Other than that they are the essentially the same.

I did the same thing by discovering Breaking Bad this summer and watching all of the seasons to catch up to the current one. You're going to have to wait until next summer for the remaining episodes to play out. They split the last season up to run in two parts. The last episode 'Gliding...
