I'm pretty sure all you have to get is a video capture card for your machine. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Description=video+capture+card&x=0&y=0 That top one looks nice for 36 bucks. I would assume you just need some type of video editing/recording software then to record it. I'm not to up on those programs though.

check out the Spyker C12 Zagato "Spyker C12 Zagato production will be limited to only 24 cars that will be delivered beginning in March 2008 at a price of EUR 495000 (approx. $650000). " Lotus Europa is pretty sick for only $50k http://www.seriouswheels.com/cars/top-2007-Lotus-Europa-S.htm

I'm interested in this too. It looks like the mini nikkei moves in 500 yen tick sizes so thats about 5 bucks USD a point? Soultrader did you ever get a market profile snapshot? I think if you got the data from IB you could use ninja trader and that MP addon reaver mentioned in his thread in the beginner forum to get the profile. I guess tradestation is out though if you want to trade the mini? Maybe IB, multicharts for all the easy language stuff, ninja with the MP addon...I don't know. That much stuff going might get hairy.

cool thanks, I have it now. I didn't realize you had to record the data first. I thought maybe you could back fill the day or something. For the bad ticks, I'm not sure. Does your chart look like this when you back fill from open tick?

Reaver, I didn't realize Ninja gave away alot of the platform for free, this is slick. That MP pluging looks great too but I haven't tried it yet. I got open tick going, but one thing is i notice all the bad ticks. are you filtering these somehow with ninja? does it mess up the market profile at all? Also how did you get replay going? I go to file/connect/market replay connection and it just sits there and does nothing.

ehhh, it just bugs me a Soprano fan can not see this. I have the ending as divx, I've watched it over and over. I missed it the first night, read all the the theories then when I actually watched it I had no doubt that tony got it. I actaully got tears in my eyes when I watched that the first time, I didn't think anything on film could ever do that to me. It took out the ending of Twin Peaks, I didn't think anything could ever do that. Your missing it, there is nothing more to say. Try to watch it with your ideas suspended, then tell me what makes more sense. "You probly don't even hear it when it happens".

No way, I argued my position there on message boards so many times after that aired I just have no interest at this point. You get it or you don't. I think possibly Entourage got whacked for me after the final this season. They don't even bother to follow up story lines. Like that one bitchy chick when they skinny dipped should have become Turtles Girlfriend...That show is so beat beyond Ari. You ever get into curb your enthusiasm? New stuff last night I missed, that makes up for everything.

Reaver, what didn't you like about TradeMaven? I'm also interested in this kind of practice. Trademaven sounds like it would be perfect on the website.

hahah, I still can't believe you don't know Tony got whacked. It was the best ending ever. David Chase said he had wanted the black screen to be 30 seconds long but HBO thought that was over kill. If I thought Tony didn't get whacked I would probly have burned my Sopranos dvds because it would just be so pointless.

I disagree though, I mean if you look at it as the best way to hurt us would be to cause constant terror. What would the market look like today if we had been hit with random attacks on malls over the past few years? If people had been afraid to shop...it would be devasting, insanely easy and impossible to stop. I don't buy the conspiracy theory stuff because it tries to explain too much. To me its like its trying to describe what someone looks like by the shadow that they casted. For what waveslider posted, I think clearly our government has nothing to do with the people at this point. 200 years is too long for a democracy to last, especially once becoming the most powerfull nation. Its hard to buy we live in a democracy if the line goes vice president bush, president bush, president clinton, president bush, president clinton. A great book to read is Propaganda - The Formation of Men's Attitudes by Jacques Ellul. Which is about state of the art propaganda technique in the 50s, i'm sure its much more refined today. If you read that book the news becomes pure comedy, its such obvious nonsense.

personally i think both the official story and the conspiracy theory are bogus. on that very day we just happen to know its this phantom boogey man behind it that runs around caves for 6 years and is totally impossible to catch. Imagine how insane it would have been on sept 20th 2001 if someone told you 6 years later that not only would we have not caught bin laden but no one even really cares. Its not even an issue for the 08 election. A month after 9/11 we get anthrax being tossed around the mail and at congress, can't find who did that either. no one cares that we can't either. Bin Laden can pull off this huge military style attack but had no power after to send one suicide bomber into a mall which would have had just as much pyschological impact terror wise. I don't see the point in getting into all the specifics with what happend that day though, you will never know and can't know.

good thread. torrentspy just cut off anyone with a US ip address

Also, out of curiosity, have you guys ever messed around with different TPO than 30 minutes? The first time I ran across pivots was in The Logical Trader by Mark Fisher(in a round about way led me to this board). I was browsing it again tonight and he mentions he believes time is even more important than price. If the market didn't have the velocity time wise to move in the direction and in the time frame you expected, get out, move on. If that is true though then 30 minutes seems arbitrary MP wise. What do you guys think about experimenting with optimal/variable TPO length according to market volatility/velocity MP wise?

Hey Ant, fantastic response. You just raised a million questions in my head but I saved your response to my drive, I'll get back to you in a few months. In Dalton MOM terms, literally today I just learned how to read sheet music as opposed to randomly hitting keys on a piano. Your talking about really playing here. For some reason when I opened your second chart it did not display the lettered profile intially. I completely get the TPO concept after today, when I didn't see that on the chart I thought what I had just learned today was a waste. Mentioning Steidlmayer though... How would you go about learning MP if you had to start again? I figured i would try to understand MOM, then Markets in Profile then maybe get Steidlmayer for fun. The opening range stuff in Mind Over Markets is basically what just clicked for me today, then everything previous clicked and I could see how things will probly progress now. What would be the most effecient path from here in your opinion book wise?

cool stuff, i've been trying to plug away at Dalton a little bit at a time and its finally starting to make sense(or at least less like trying to read egyptian). ant, what do you mean by "one timeframing" though? The next TPO isn't crossing over the previous much? Do you guys find the whole lettering view to be useless? Just focus on the way the profile is developing overall?

thats pretty funny. this is the best prank i've ever seen though http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/23256/

I would like to see a video of what the 20% of the people pointed to on the map. That was funny but when you think about it, it would be hard to give any other answer besides stupidity.

Jerry, what is the name of your DOM software again?I missed it twice now when you said it, that looks really nice. Also, do you do anything as far as keeping this information on a yearly chart for stocks if you wanted to buy a stock for a roth or what not? Do the same concepts apply if your looking at daily data?

Just get "Option Volatility & Pricing" by Sheldon Natenberg. Its so clear and well done i'm not sure why anyone else even bothers trying to write about options to explain them. To hedge you could cover your position, 1 contract for ever hundred shares with atm puts long or sell covered calls. The bullish thing, there is a bunch you could do but alot would depend on what the greeks look like, Sheldon explains those perfectly. I remember someone telling me when I was trying to wrap my head around them that options are more 3 dimensional with a stock being 2 dimensional. I think once you understand them enough though you will realize you don't really want to bother with them.

It basically was a chain reaction in the hot markets. Rates got so low it brought in more and more buyers, then speculators then at a point I imagine property out west got so out of hand that people would not have been able to get in the house without an arm. You also have to figure that if you bought a house in 2003/04 in these markets you were probly up 100% by early 05. I'm sure that gave people confidence that even if the rate went up they could just sell at a profit. Not everywhere experienced this though. In western ny here property really hasn't gone up much at all. a starter home out west is 500k, that puts you in the biggest houses around here. i wish i had bookmarked it but i found a double wide trailer for 200k on here a few weeks ago http://www.seattlepowersearch.com/ Most arms were 5 years, considering the big buying spree didnt happen until 03/04 we havent even started the resets yet.

worst interview ever...but at the same time the best interview i've ever seen.....: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3348826403600532580&q=Nassim+Nicholas+Taleb&total=5&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=1

"Pain is just weakness leaving the body". I don't remember who said that, I think its a Marine saying for some reason. Either way, best ever.

hmm...I feel like the kid that skipped their math homework. I'm going to go back and review the risk tolerance thread, I'm a bit shakey to give an exact answer to that without mostly guessing.

Jerry, I just rewatched a few of the videos and I'm unsure of why you would manage a winning trade as such. Say you take a trade at vwap with 1 contract, price goes to 1 std dev, you get filled on the exit, winner... If your trading multiple contracts though, same thing happens.3 for instance. Does it really make sense to scale out and leave a runner? Wouldn't it make more sense to take it all off the table, wait for the Shapiro effect at 1st std dev, then put on 2 contracts, and keep one in reserve incase price moves back to wvap? If that is not totally wrong then I'm also wondering if you have some measure based on probability that would dictate putting on 2 contracts at 1 std dev and keeping 1 in reserve vs putting on 1 contract and keeping 2 in reserve?
