Echo is in the Northeast. I do not trade there but I remember the thread: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=25893&highlight=echo+philadelphia

This is just a suggestion but may help what you are experiencing every couple of months...The next time you re-format your HD, try partitioning the into multiple slices. Assuming you have a 40gb HD, create 2 - 4GB, 2 - 2GB, 2 - 8Gb, and the rest however you decide. On the first 4GB partition...

I assume you are using a loop structure to do your calculations. It is a bit difficult to debug with out a code example of what you are attempting to do. Shoot me a PM with your code and I can test it out tomorrow during market hours or check it out tonight if you are still online. (that is if...

By nature of good timing, Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities Mag (Sept 2003 edition) has a review of Ensign on page 90.

My first suggestion would be to get 2 dual monitor cards (1 analog 1 digital port) by the same manufacturer. This cuts down on compatibility issues. To enhance this suggestion, buy off Ebay but not the lastest and greatest. Get the previous version of the manufacturer. This will cut your costs...

It is good practice to use the same manufacturer for video cards to cut down on the possible incompatibilities between drivers/cards (Nvidia and Matrox). The fact that you have LCD's and a CRT shouldn't matter at all. Monitors are output only (much like stero speakers—you can mix and match all...

Not trying to be a smartarse, but Liquidity is a refuge from uncertainty (meaning cash is also a position). I would suggest you back off and just watch the markets whenever you get into a situation as you described. Get a feel for how the three timeframes interact with each other. As you begin...

I have been using Ensign exculsively now for three years as the graphing program for Esignal. I only use the Esingal product to keep track of equity options and everything else in Ensign so I cannot comment on the features of Esignal. I do know that you can draw Fib retracements, extensions...

Manrico, The top half of your db I already implement in excel, although I usually clear out the info as a new trade is being pondered. This is of course only done on the days where I have less than say 6 trades. On days where I make as many as 30 trades I find that updating this type of db is...

candeltrader: Its an honor to read your reply to my post. Thank you. Don't keep a journal huh? I am not that advanced yet. Tried that when I started trading. I learned that I need to develop some type of consistency and review myself over time. Consistency is one of my faults as a trader and...
