"...take full responsibility of your own action...owning it up yourself.... Market is a continuous information stream, it's up to you to take advantage of it... it only takes one trader with opposing view to neutralize your position so act accordingly...." - Mark Douglas

Why reinventing the wheel - just use MATLAB / SIMULINK, and its toobox. There's "Student version" to try on. Yes, the "realtime version" is expensive. see: http://www.mathworks.com/products/derivatives/description1.html There's linux equivalent that's free.

Hope everything works out for you Metooxx. You are our living/breathing "proxy" in the paradise....

What is the best way to survive in paradise when storm comes? Would a tied-down catamaran fair any better in an isolated beach (no flying debris)? What do those big sailing cats in the charter business do in situation like last weekend?

Does the King's name starts with M and ends with x?

Hi all, I am interested in purchasing the latest (2003) series 55 and 63 study material. Payment can be via paypal. Thanks. Cyberslam

Why rent? Maybe for the first six mo. or so. I would like to buy or build. - have something to do other than trading. How the social life on the island - any place to do ballroom dancing or prof. gym?

cost of partial T1 or ADSL per month?? Metoo, Freeport won me over BVI due to the proximity to Miami. Why's a home building lot only cost $10k at Freeport - $185K for a waterfront home there can't be beat either.

Now I got the whole picture. You got it made Metooxx. :D

Metooxx, my mindset re. storm is same as yours/local, but just wondering whether the internet connection would get affected or not. If you have big open positions - would you fly to the "mainland" just in case?

Thanks metooxx. Those are good considerations. I'll keep them in mind in the future. Developing a local business will also a plus -building own house would be a good start - except moving the building material would be a challenge on those islands. What do you do when the storm comes -...

Looks like the paradise/offshore topic hit a raw nerve. To do this means leaving family and friends in the "mainland" must cut many ties. Glad to hear that medical doesn't seem to be a concern. Needless to say nobody is going to do this if gross is less than 100k. Hey Metooxx, why...

You got that right! :) However, what do people do with medical - go back to the "old country" when trouble starts? Usually there's a three month wait period for health plan to kick in after returning - so any "trouble" better be minor I guess.

Thanks metooxx, sort of came to same conclusion. Sad to leave the "mainland" but think of all the money one can save (no tax on any of those "islands").

Metooxx, don't you think living in a "tax haven" (non-resident of US - hence no IRS hassels) and trade thru and IBC (no cap. gain) would be a better solution? :)

This morning is a major reversal day - gap up with minor pullback and then power up is a typical pattern. Short should be caution. Shot will be squeezed until after lunch hour at the earliest. IMO.

Come on, tell me you are not serious on this. Lets not intermixing getting quotes with the trading/execution server. They should be totally seperate. I don't want my order delayed because its too busy fetching your last 100 daily bars.

re. CYMI, 60 min chart says it hit bottom and may revert up. I hate to join the crowd. What the stop loss on this - 37.55? Good trading.

Hi Seenote, Yesterday's MERQ buy at 31.5 was fantastic. What prompted the buy? Was it because the QQQ has turned and MERQ was late in turning? Care to share. Keep up the good work and good trading. Cyberslam

Hi Seanote, This week I tried to follow your trades. Sometime I just sceam - "come on 'Note, just execute out - you have made some profit and the tick bars are definitely STALLING - get out now instead of taking a loss". I must admit I don't cut much slack for you since...
