    Help me to build 6-8 monitor trading battle station :)

    Take a look at their sites, but as mentioned in previous email, TigerDirect does but I'm not sure about Newegg. Cheers and best regards.

    Help me to build 6-8 monitor trading battle station :)

    The two companies I deal with for the major hardware are Newegg and TigerDirect. I could shave a few bucks off their prices, as there are many others out there, but these outfits are very competitive prices and always have the latest hardware. The other key is their return and replacement...

    Help me to build 6-8 monitor trading battle station :)

    Trading is not extremely computational intensive per se. Basically it is receiving a data stream and displaying that data in various formats in 2D. Having said that, the Windows operating system and the applications you use are the biggest demand on the CPU. So, having a fast cpu and memory...

    Pictures of your trading stations

    The resolution is measured differently than a computer monitor spec. Computer Monitor Example: 1,600 x 1,050 TV Monitor Example: 1,080p or 720p Unless you've got a useless TV monitor and wanted to try it out for kicks, don't know why you'd do it. There are 32" - 42" computer monitors...

    Creating range bars in Excel

    As dtrader98 suggested, I too anticipated that it would be a VBA macro enabled worksheet with separate tabs for each day. However, you file size would quickly become unmanageable. I think consolidating the data in a single spreadsheet is the wrong approach. I suppose if you could do a file...

    Creating range bars in Excel

    If you data is consistent on each spreadsheet, you can open each data file, copy the range of data into a master file, then close the data file, and so on x's 200. Assume you're asking about displaying the data in a typical or template chart. Haven't played with Excel programing in ages...

    Value investing vs technical analysis

    Even if you could find such a document, why do you need it? Seems pretty obvious that the long term trend is extreme volatility. It's my opinion that buying stocks as a long term hold "investment" was a con job setup many years ago by stock holders trying to dump some worthless holdings. The...

    New Trader Picking a Broker

    I read about IB early on. They also require traders to have at least a hundred trades under their belts before they'll accept an application. Even though my starting account size is painfully small, I want it that way by design. Don't get me wrong, I'd be great to have .5 mil or more to play...

    SpeedTrader told me they use Penson as well. How can can a person find out who the brokers uses for clearing? Recommendations on a good one?

    New Trader Picking a Broker

    @ brownsfan019 Just started looking at the site, very good info. One video talked about high frequency trading, but the focus seems to be on fundamental rather than technical analysis, so pardon my potentially stupid questions. One Are you trading intraday, swing or "short term" investing...

    New Trader Picking a Broker

    I looked at them first and they look pretty good. Some suggested SpeedTrader and their fees are very reasonable. But the support issue is another thing I have to seriously consider. Thanks for the advise.

    New Trader Picking a Broker

    @brownsfan019 My goal is to start part time and ramp up to full time by my Sept 2012 retirement date. You're right, ability to buy shares is limited so I'll may increase to at least $2500. Yes, the PDT is pain but I assumed I'd start with a cash account and build. The issue there is the 3...

    New Trader Picking a Broker

    Thanks Profitmagnet or the advice. To start off, I will be trading equities, and based on fixedgrin88's advice I took a look at Speedtrader and pretty much decided to kick things off with them. Cannon's got a great site with a lot of info.

    Has anybody benefited from taking online courses, or bought CD/DVD courses that helped learn the trade?
