Yes I get the same problem, when using SMART (default), or NYSE. Can chart it if selecting directed exchange ISLAND (Nasdaq).

Seems this is a proper PVA or P-MVA panel, so unless it's broken it shouldn't be any worse than a modern screen, for trading purpose. I still have plugged in an old NEC1860nx IPS, which despite poor contrast is still the most comfortable to watch, due larger pixel-size/pitch. Of course it's...

I'm ok with the scenario you lay out, but I would like if you share your reference for the the timing.. ?

For persisting data series to file/database, and coding in general, is it more convenient to use bar open-time, or bar close-time? I've been doing the latter, but after some thousands lines of code, I wonder if this should be changed.. A 60min bar closing at 00:00AM, will now obviously have...

Hi, Is it possible to send bracket orders with multiple targets? I'm able to send bracket with a single protective stop and a single target, and that works well. But I would like to have two target orders at different price. Such that total entry qty = 2. Stop qty = 2, and target limit qty...

USB or dock is only if you want to expand on your current laptop. If you're buying a new laptop you simply buy one with dual-out, (like DVI + HDMI), such as the Dell XPS for example. Then you are ready to plug in two external screens with no extra hardware. This is for a "travel setup". However...

I never used a matrox box, and the reason is that your secondary graphic port needs to support a 2x width of the resolution of your external monitors, in order to stretch the picture properly. All it does is just to split the image in two. At least this is how I understand it. Hence if you want...

Hey, thanks for the encouragement! :) Good point. I trade 3 contracts because that's what I did in previous successful sim trading. So I'm doing that same scale-out strategy in order to tune into the old mindset and performance. But before going live I'll trade at least one week on 1 contract...

Been working on strategy glitches and discipline. Started sim trading yesterday. Basically the first goal of starting this thread has fulfilled it's purpose, as I've improved my focus and discovered several gray areas of my strategy. So currently I'm on SIM, trading 3 contracts, with the...

Do what you want little troll.. u can waste ur own time, but not mine. Added to ignore/spam list: spanish89 TraderZones

Not regularly, but have read alot of Steenbarger's blogs. Higly recommended to any developing trader.

Depends on the broker. Though lower requirement is not really an opertunity, more a trap. With a proper risk evaluation I would say an account should have at least 5000$ per YM contract traded. When I have an account this small I obviously have the ability to meet potential negative balance that...

jeez spanish.. is this the way you spend your Saturday nights, spamming on elitetrader forum? I feel really sorry for you. freakin unbelievable.. take ur trash elsewhere! ..now call for ur mum, maybe she wants to cuddle.
