    I plan on using XP Professional until Windows 7 and skip Vista completely just like I skipped Windows ME. It's unfortunate everyone will be forced to use Vista pre-installed when buying a new computer after June 30, 2008.

    Why is IB's time 5 seconds behind the official time?

    The TWS time is based on your computer system time. That just means your computer is slow 5 seconds. If you double-click your windows clock, you can select the Internet Time tab. You can synchronize your time to the correct.

    Should you focus on one stock?

    I agree. I know I can trade any liquid stock but the stocks that are volatile provide more predictable opportunies to capitalize on. The commissions are also cheaper too since you would trade less shares.

    Should you focus on one stock?

    There are many ways to trade them and no right way. I could not tell you anything new than what is already posted on many threads here on ET. I was only able to trade for about 2 1/2 hours on Friday.
