Ouch, i scored 42... I don't feel like I have any super special abilities, unfortunately. I am about to start a low dose oral mercury chelation protocol (Andrew Cutler's protocol), so I hope to follow the footsteps of many adult ASD-types who have improved doing this.

in the distant past i've printed in postscript (using any popular HP postscript printer driver for windows, print to file) from programs like word and used xpdf (free to use, open source, and cross-platform i think) to create a pdf file.

I think this is a false sense of security. If someone can put a keylogger on your system, then someone can put software that logs all form inputs in your browser. I am pretty sure this can be done at multiple levels with or without the use of HTTPS. Something related to this: botnets used for...

There's an alternative... Polyphasic sleep. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphasic_sleep http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2005/10/polyphasic-sleep/

I work with 5s and tick data, so maybe its a matter of # of quotes stored. I know this slowdown is related to the number of days stored for YM/ES/NQ/ER2, its been happening over and over for months. They haven't provided answers for this. Had another issue with tick charts (data corruption)...

Yes if they are in charts they should be, except... (see below) No, you don't lose any data. I leave Amibroker running for weeks at a time. EVERY night, Amibroker's IB plugin loses its connection to TWS. I emailed support already and they seem clueless about this. (Lack of testing I...

If you have a server with special needs (e.g. ECC, registered or odd configurations), or are willing to pay for quality, Mushkin is great. More expensive than plain old memory but I can't recommend them enough for servers.

I have problems with Amibroker getting bogged down when storing more than a week's tick or 5s data for more than a few symbols. All I have is price+volume showing, and I have to rename existing symbols & start new ones every week to get around this. I think rough edges like this may put off some...

Doesn't say anything except "we rent some space in data centers." Big deal. My first impression is: I could pay $9/month with Yahoo hosting, and my web pages would be hosted in similar data centers.

dell canada often has sales on their excellent 20.1" widescreen, i bought one recently for about $450 i think, and the price goes down every few months. dell us has better deals of course. multiple inputs, dvi, analog, etc.. its a beautiful panel, but the 24" one is even better if its in your...

Amibroker can backtest on tick data, but the developer does not recommend this: In the past, he has recommended n-tick bars, or 5 second bars. It is easy to go up-and-down timeframes in both charting and programming. (assuming you have the data at the required resolution) He has also...

I recently built a computer for someone: Antec 400W + Antec case (old 1040 model) with 4 Vantec Stealth case fans, and AMD Barton core xp2500+ with retail HSF. It's very quiet! I also use a APC power line conditioner with all my computers. I have very rare power outages, but have frequent...

The recent movement of Amibroker is heavily oriented towards systems people, with sorting & ranking of trades for backtesting being the most notable recent feature. The developer is developing multi-portfolio and portfolio balancing support in upcoming betas. It has all of the basic backtesting...

Took it 2 years ago, work-related. (Wasn't interested in becoming a trader then). It is deadly boring, and not very useful if you are already well-read in the area. Lots of useless things to memorize.
