Seems to be some kind of spam bot rush.... banning over 50 different accounts now with multiple IP's. Please stay alert for further spam with the title: "How a $5,000 Account Grew to $38,572 in ONLY 34 Weeks". Most IP's should be banned now... but in case I missed anything please let me know. Thank you.

On top of this asap. Thanks

Not an indicator based trader but received this a while back and may be of interest to some. The indicator plots Sigma bands. (please dont ask what they are) Formula is not closed so after you import you can take a look. Snapshot is attached. Sigma.pac

This I also found to be a very key factor during these times as well. I waited an extra step to initiate a position instead of the typical aggressiveness. Good stuff zdo.

Good to see you back bootstrap.

Some more info on the KOSPI due for trading on GLOBEX in Q3 of 2009. Refer to page 25 and on. CustomerForumUS.pdf

Were you supposed to attach a .ELD file with this?

Just a word of caution... esignal datafeed is not reliable from experience and alot of the data is off and does not get fixed right away. So if you are backtesting off esignal datafeed, you should double check with another feed or use a more reliable source.

Transact could be an option and pretty cost effective. What about esignal? I think you want to make sure that the datafeed you receive is clean and precise. If you are backtesting a strategy with wrong data, it can lead to disastrous outcomes. So make sure that data provider you decide on is reliable. For example, esignal is known for poor data quality so i personally can not recommend it. Reuters feed as well is not too good as they do not fix bad ticks right away. Maybe good to have two data providers?

Hope this helps.

Might want to take a look at this also: https://www.cqgdatafactory.com/ Why dont you just subscribe to the exchange through your data provider? You are always going to have to purchase data as you will not be receiving real-time datafeed.

I agree as well. I voted who cares?

Fun article and comments here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/7618685.stm What are your opinions and thoughts?

Good read, thanks for this fw. I also do not think the bottom is in place just yet. My mistake at the moment is my own ignorance of currencies.... should of transferred all my USD into JPY months ago.

Nikkei gaps down over 1,000 yen today temporarily halts due to a limit down. Ive never seen anything like this before. Here is an quarterly chart on the Nikkei... look at where we are, close to the bottom of the last collapse of the Nikkei. But there is definitely a difference in investor emotions. The situation is alot different compared to the previous crash.... as if we are immune to this or since we have seen this before people are not too worried. Though many businesses are going belly flop, banks are still strong here with minimal exposure on the subprime crisis. Though some banks got hurt by lending to Lehman... Any thoughts?

Which thread are the posts coming from? Thanks.

Sorry, that option is not available no matter how I edit the code. The chat room was build by a separate developer and I am a bit hesitant to mess with the coding. We had an IE6 problem but its been fixed today as well. The character limit for the chat room is fixed as well. Thanks.

hahaha.. nice one Kiwi. :thumbs up:
