You will not say that when your keyboard/mouse suddenly fails. :D Good tools need a good carpenter. But good tools alone won't lead to success.

I know much about graphic cards. I do some research myself. I would recommend you using HD series cards from ATI. Any modern HD series card will suit your needs. In addition, you can get it as low as $14.99!! I know someone who is using similarly big size too with HD cards achieving great...

Quick dpi adjustment is good for gaming but I believe we don't need it for trading, How useful are tohse extra buttons, trading-wise? How high dpi is appropriate for trading? (use 2x2 monitors with 1680x1050 resoltuion)

How does it work? In what conditions does the mouse change? Will it change at the right time?

What mouse and keyboard do you use? Hey, what do you use when you are trading, mouse or keyboard? Do you use cheap or generic mouse/keyboard only? Or do you buy selected mouse or keyboard specially for your trading needs? If so, what do you use (brand + model)?

That would be an acceptable solution. How fast is your wireless ISP? What plan do you use? If you open your broker's like IB TWS or X_Trader and some charting software and try to close the trades with your wireless networks, do you experience some slowdowns or delays? Thanks. :)

What is Guardian? A software? What's the URL? Would you describe how exactly the process goes? 1. ISP A is down 2. ??? 3. Reconnect to X_Trader etc. When I get a new IP, will your broker's software get disconnected? If so, does it reconnect automatically and how long does it take? Or...

Yes that's the problem. The delay is still too long for daytrading. And I'm not sure if the dail-up will be down too when its broadband is down too. Another risk. ~$500 is a big investment. I have one question. If ISP A is down, how does the dual-WAN router switch over to ISP B? Is it...

So I would buy two single-WAN routers and both are on all the time, isn't it? Some questions about this setup: 1. Is it possible to login to two services at the same time? Or if I login to one ISP in the same window, I can't login twice? 2. If blackout occurs, isn't it possible the...

So in your case, you have wired and wireless connection. You probably only use wired connection to trade. You are on the wireless connection acting as a backup only just in case if problems occur. Hmm... If both wired and wireless connections are provided by the same ISP, will the wireless be...

Using 2 ISPs to ensure 100% uptime, possible?? Is it possible to use 2 ISPs to ensure 100% uptime? If so, how? 1) Do I need to buy a dual-WAN router to use 2 connections (1 as main; the other as backup)? What dual-WAN router should I buy? How much? Is there any wireless dual-WAN router...

You can only request server change (via ticket etc.). IB staff will process it over weekends only. You can't switch server when the server is down.

What a shame! There is someone in society who feel like insulting and flaming people everyday. He even call an uncivil question a "Zen question". Do you understand what Zen is? Do you have some minimum respect for Zen? Clearly he considers it a very smart thing to do, and he is very proud of...
