Diversification is the way. The best would be to have a farm, grow natural products, have tourists come to you for sleep, eat, leisure. Go on with trading with more then one broker, have your cash in two different countries and banks. But it is a lot of work, i cannot do it. Not to much years ago pe...

Get fresh and perfect data only when refreshing simbols.
Restore the old possibility to rewrite manually some very bad tick.
This would be great.

MGC Last Date 9999

MGC(Micro Gold Comex).

Any idea?

Thank You

Well, in 1995, after Kobe Quake, Yen and bonds went up, Japanese Stocks went down 20 %.
Sure i will wait signals, because i don't know what to do, but exit from nikkey long positions on monday morning would have be better.
