Does anyone know if there is a download someplace of an economic calendar? Briefing.com has a calendar of all the dates / times of economic events (fed, gdp release, etc). I'm looking for a version that I could import into Microsoft Outlook. I could just key it all in but I was hoping there...

That's when Sgt Pepper taught the band to play, right?

I haven't really ever paid much attention to this but I thought that the QID and the QLD were supposed to move inversely to each other and 2x the QQQQ At the moment, (10:14am) QQQQ +1.32% QID -2.12% QLD +2.76% I can understand them not being exactly 2x but the QID and the QLD...

did that file work? It wouldn't bring it up for me after I posted it.

I found myself in April of this year questioning my trading method. I had been using the same strategy over the last few years, and was quite profitable. Then in April, something changed and I took a big hit. I trade an almost purely mecahnical system, although, sometimes I do take some...

You didn't say how much data you were transfering and what frequency. I doubt your problem is CPU or network but more the total volume you are sending. If the data is just too big, it's going take a while. Why don't you try accessign the data directly from the PC that holds it, rather...
