A number of you suggested calling the trade desk and sell the position. This might work for conditions 1,3,and 4, but if the IB server goes down and everybody is trying to call at once, you will be out of luck. Several suggested a UPS backup. That's fine as long as it is large enough to...

I presently trade futures using cable modem service with IB. I have no backup plan for trading in case of emergency, so I am curious as to what others would do in the following situations: You are long 7 contracts in an emini and one of the following occurs: 1)Your cable modem service fails...

Some confusion here. If you are building a new machine, you install the complete version of WinXP, not the upgrade. You only use the upgrade version of WinXp if you already are running a machine with win98 on it.

Rather than start a non productive flame war here about Win2K, I suggest anyone interested in the pros and cons of it go to the amdmb.com forum sight and reach there own conclusions. If you are running Win2K and it is working fine you have no reason to change. However my previous assertion...

There is a whole host of problems some of them specific to the type of chipset on your motherboard, in my case the KT133a from Nvidia. Different motherboards will have different problems, but here are just a few I experienced: a)The advanced power management of Win2K is a disaster. Sometimes...

I have heard this comment before but really don't understand it. I happen to have the pro addition on my setup, but most of my customers want the home edition because they don't want to spend the extra $50 for the pro. So other than some additional admin tools in the pro, give me some cogent...

For those of you wanting to upgrade to WinXP, be forewarned you can upgrade win2000 only to winXP Pro not to the XP Home Edition. You can upgrade win98 ok to either XP Home or Pro.

Well using win2000 as your operating system is another can of worms. I know there are many win2K users on this board who recommend it highly. I have used them all and I don't recommend you get involved with it. It's a long story, but the short and sweet of it is, as windows operating systems...

If your machine is not going to work it won't be because you are using a dual head card. Don't know what you mean by sharing cable part. On a dual head video card like the Matrox G450. There are two outputs, each requiring a separate cable . The setup for the monitors is done in the operating...

Hardest part about building a new PC is installing the heat sink on the cpu. I suggest you practice a few times without the processor. As LongShot points out it is easy to crack it if you install the heatsink incorrectly. (Go to the amd site to get info on how to do it. See...

It's a lot cheaper and more efficient to have multimonitors than one large monitor. Consider the following a) 2 17" monitors have a viewing area of ca. 578 sq. in. b) 1 23" monitor has a viewing area of 529 sq. in. Which do you think is more efficient?

If you do daytrading mondotrader, a multimonitor system is not a luxury, it is a necessity. If you are trading equities, you need 1 screen to view all your real time stock charts, another screen for your trading software, a third screen for showing sector indices and perhaps a fourth screen for...

Elindydotcom-- I think you are going to be in deep doodoo with a 250 watt power supply. The retail machines are built by the manufacturer with the smallest power supply they can get away with without adding additional components. I build machines, and the smallest power supply I use these...
