ET threads FTW! Thanks for the clarifications everyone (and my apology Daal). It makes sense now, but that is one huge distribution. In the grander scheme of Wall St. bailouts, TARPS and the like, it was easy for me to carelessly jump to a false conclusion. Still, Ray's point is a good...

Clearly you miss the point. The market DROPPED and if they deliver twice the daily movement, holders Long these double shorts should have booked a tidy profit today. Instead, they gotted robbed...just as I said.

Agreed. Trying to reach ProShares now, but clearly I am not the first to call and won't be the last. While I feel fortunate to have dodged a bullet, my true heartfelt sympathies go out to those who likely got fleeced today in what appears to be nothing more than a robbery. (I am assuming all...

Wow...I was really hoping I was missing something like an odd and unnecessary awkward split. This is true criminality...worse than the Tax Man, as tough as that is to beat.

So having wrapped up the trading year last week, but checking in on the markets today, is this limp article the explanation for how a market can be off across the board and yet, all the double short ETF's are getting crushed?

If you like Fibonacci, this Larry Pesavento site is really good... http://www.tradingtutor.com/index.php

nitro, thanks for the warning. the seller said it was one of the latest cards made by Matrox and even had heat sinks built into the board, so hopefully it will be OK.

sorry so late responding to your question. hopefully, you haven't already bought a UPS. If not, check out the value of a Cyberpower unit: www.cyberpowersystems.com I also looked at APC and Belkin also, but neither one compared to the back-up time you get for the price you pay...

yeah, someone paid $250 for a Jeronimo Pro card on EBAY. I'm currently waiting for a Matrox G200 MMS Quad card that I paid $350 for also on EBAY. 'levmart' was the seller and he mentioned he may have more for the same price.

thanks for the feedback guys. Looks like I'll be getting an Appian controller.

Baron, Thanks for the reply, but I'm still getting up to speed on all this techno-lingo. Can I assume both the memory and GHz rating affect how quickly new images/charts are pulled onto the screen? Or, does picture quality at specific resolutions vary dependign on these ratings?

Joe and Gary, How have you liked XP so far? Is it compatible with and does it work well with all your trading software?

I am wanting to add a second and third monitor now, possibly another later, funds permitting. I've read a lot of stuff on this site about multi-monitor cards, but haven't seen much that compares Appian's 4-monitor controller to a Matrox option capable of doing the same. Is there anyone out...

Nicodemus, I have never daytraded equities, although I have two stock accounts. For daytrading, I chose futures because of the inherent leverage, as other replies have noted. As long as the small fry understands that stops are an unfortunate necessity for doing business in futures, I don't...
