MDBX baby...the new norm.


EDIT: I don't even partake (anymore), BTW. Maybe when the moon goes blue...or every second time.

But...if American laws start (keep) changing...like anything...biggest (paying) market in the world!

MDBX 2000!

Other states will legislate on it eventually which will either stop the federal law from being enforced or it being repealed altogether.

CO and WA legalize weed while Twinkies are going out of business.

Gay marriage and marijuana...hand in hand in a very bizarre fashion.

Let'em rip...as far as I'm concerned!


Not like people are asking (voting) for late nights in Bangkok and Meth to become legal in America!

I'd be in favour of that as well.

I'm in favour of legalizing all drugs. ALL of them. Why is it legal to smoke, drink or inject what's under your kitchen sink (it's fucked up, granted but it's legal) but if you cook it in the form of crystal meth, you go to jail?

The key is to take organized crime out of the drug business. Crystal meth would cost so little that nobody would bother making it because the margins would be so low.

Educate people on what that shit does instead of just telling them "it's bad for you".

Prostitution, same thing. But also educate people of how painful it really it to have genitals oozing with pus.

In the end, people should be responsible for the lives they run. I'm overweight and sure as hell won't be suing McDonald's over it. It's not Ronald McMotherfucker who shoved a cheeseburger down my throat. People have to control their lives. The benefit is that there would be lots of people taking themselves out of the gene pool that way.

No argument here!

I just hate arguing with my American "friends". It can breed some form of contagion where they feel their rights are being threatened.

Do what you want...eat, smoke, drink...fuck...kill...anything you'd like. Make you're own decisions. The Earth's axis would stabilize pretty quick, I bet.

Just don't kill people. Idiots usually do a fine job of that themselves.

I won't...last thing on/in my mind/heart.

Always a line in the sand that can be crossed, I guess, but I don't even like when I kill a plant through neglect. My people...my brothers and sisters...friends and strangers...are my favourite part of this constant loop around our sun.

Anyway...until a bird can kill us (again)...lets put them on the table and feast together!

Lost the plot there...so be it.

Gotcha! So which base platform would you recommend for that?
Each has pluses and minuses.

Q/A

1. Which markets / order type? Because most markets trade on bid, ask or in the spread - you can use any of the software I mentioned and one other Ninja Trader. If your going to trade forex and use market orders, the same is true. If your going to trade forex and use limit and or stop orders, then you need to drop TradeStation from the list..unless you are able to add your own data vendor. Current tradestation software does not have both bid and ask data streams provided.

2. Automation - Software places orders. Tradestation software works at Tradestation Securities. If you go with 3rd party data provider, you will need to use a program such as TradeBullet to take the order from TS and send it to a broker on there broker supported list. The others are suppose to work at the brokers on thier lists - however just because they say it works with broker X, (it has been my experience that bugs and or changes in softwares ) does not mean it will or can be made to. It must be verified and you must assume it will not work until it proves to you it will. I am using FXCM and their software because it was the only combo that could work for me. I needed a non - US broker and this limited my options.
3. Semi-auto - Software tells you price to place stop of limit trade, TradeStation makes it easiest to understand your pending orders. Others will require trading on a demo acct to get the order price - not sure about Ninja.
4. US, International or both for brokers? Some will work and others will not depending on selection.

the list goes on... but more fro debugging then will or will not work

good luck

Lots of options to look at. For me, it would be market orders. I can use a semi-automated system (I think) but the broker has to be non-US.

I currently use Oanda. I consulted with them and told that I can use either Oanda Europe or Oanda Asia. I'm not married to that broker.

For me, the key is to have a system to alert me not so much of entries but of exits which is where my trading skills needs more work.

Semi-auto can be any package,, depending on TF to be traded. If your trading quick.. then you want the feed from the broker so that prices match up. MultiCharts has a free trial. Ninja is free to play with/ I would start there with 1 of those. TS is I think 2 or 3 hundred a month inc their data. eSignal and DTN have trials as well for data. Some brokers can fed data in MC and NT.
