Agree with this, just as Swan did. When I moved in to my place the online system said my areas was not wired and the customer support person said it was not either. VZW came out and hooked up my telephone line and I asked the tech as he was wrapping up if FIOS was available. He walked me out to...

I wonder how well Tradestation would run on that guy?! HAHAHA!!!! Groovy computer, man... :cool:

Well, the pros with the local guy are that he's local and you could build a rapport with him to help you configure machines, get service and so forth. You'd be able to build a machine with them that's EXACTLY what you want and leverage their knowledge and expertise in choosing components that...

Bolimomo, I believe you're probably right in terms of the cost thing but check this out... I built an i7-920 by myself and took a spare HDD I had here and the simple dual DVI vid card from my old trading machine (a Dell) and ended up building it for $400+ less than what a similar Dell was...

I disagree. My credentials: 1. I can read / follow instructions 2. I am logical and can search for assistance, if the need arises 3. I have a multi-tool / screwdriver for assembly Is there really anything else you need?? LOL I don't mean to downplay it so much but in all honesty it...

Apologies that I searched Google for an image of a Dell 8300 and chose the 1st one that matched the one I had as I no longer have that machine, though you had the same PSU issue with it so I'm not sure who gets the win on that point. Maybe I'll sort by date and find one that's newer; why not...

You want the truth? Well here you go... The Dell I had prior to the 9200 had a PSU fail in it. When I went to go buy a replacement @ Fry's, I brought it back and lined it up with the mounts on the Dell and guess what? Dell has a grate on the back of the case that lined up only with their...

Hope I'm not stepping on toes, but ProfLogic is running Multicharts as am I. I recently built my own PC on a Core-i7 920 with 6GB of DDR3 RAM and at the busiest of times running at least 8 instances of Multicharts each one with a single workspace that has 2 charts on it for a single symbol...

I built my first computer about a month ago, strictly for trading. I was using a Dell 9200 with an Intel Core 2 Duo but noticed that the dual cores were lagging while running Multicharts. When the markets started humming or I had several workspaces open at once the lag was prohibitive to trading...

In case anyone is still planning on attending and have not made hotel reservations yet, Hotels.com is having a Friday the 13th sale... http://pages.email.hotels.com/Share.aspx?i=6df4ae332659a70297b4ef94eb1b1b50f07a98bcbe7d1768

No problem. Enjoy! :D bmills

Yes, 2 very solid news days back to back. Lots of movement today, too... bmills

The USDA's website is all you need: http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/?navid=AGENCY_REPORTS&navtype=RT Here it is in a nice little calendar form... http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/!ut/p/_s.7_0_A/7_0_1RD?printable=true&navid=AGENCY_REPORTS&beginday=ALL_DAYS&beginmonth=10&beginyear=2009

I have a love/hate relationship with the ES. When it's trending, it can be traded rather well but when you get caught up in the games that are played at S/R levels it can be downright awful. I tend to find the ES just a bit much for me unless I'm trading a slower chart and it's a nicely trending...

+1 to all of that. I trade C, S, W intraday every week and find that there is ample news that comes out every week that affects one or more of these contracts. If C is slow and choppy there's a great chance that S or W will have some movement to them. I also really like how they tend to...
