Tick charts have the characteristic of moving more smoothly. Especially in shorter timeframes, you'll have very few of the wide ranging bars that...
OK, I see. I think you've answered it by saying the 10k was the amount that you used strictly for yield rankings. I'm still curious though,...
I have a question: Why 10,000 units? It seems that you'd want to dollar balance your exposure with such a methodology. That is, say two long...
Probably the best way to convince yourself is to do the math on one of your typical stocks. That's about 1/2 of 1% difference. On a $30 stock...
I think that to some extent over time, one may begin to "lead" the other depending upon liquidity. That is, you can glean some tape reading...
I'd call MS the hands down winner in terms of chart readability and graphics when compared to TS. Yes, TS's charts are fine, but I've always...
Metastock uses a simpler programming language. It's a relative certainty that code will transfer from MS to TS, but that's not true in the other...
I'd have to hedge my reply. For me, "bare bones" on a trading laptop begs for a 17" screen. I'd really enjoy the extra screen real estate and...
Personally, I'd go for the 7200 RPM drive. No, it won't affect your trading software performance, but it sure will give the machine a better...
Hi Electric, OK, so your cash stash in your main account provides your backup liquidity. And that's earning 2.3%...unleveraged by necessity....

OK, I'm not a cash FX trader, but isn't the ability to earn interest while carrying positions an advantage in the spot mkt? I should clarify...
Yep, you are correct, mnx, he's the very same poster. Different alias, but his posts trace back to the same location.... Thanks for the heads...
Hmmmm, OK, I have a pretty good sense of where this thread might go. This thread may end up deleted. I'll give the original poster the benefit...
Isn't it $2.32? I may be misreading what you intended; could you elaborate on the $4.60? Thanks!
Nothing, you are correct, except that on average it's more like twice that difference. spike500's point is correctly trying to help you frame...
Yes, I do. If you watch all three, relatively speaking one will lead or lag. Compare them on a relative strength basis. I've got all four...
Marty, I think you are touching upon a very deep area of trading, IMHO. Six or seven years ago, I was a pure systematic trader. Since then...
I wanted to make a comment about the inter-commodity spreads and how the SPAN margining might drive certain ratios in practice. On the CME...
