    Trying to use a 37" LCD as a single monitor

    Unless I am doing something wrong, which is entirely possible. Neither looks very good and just doesn't work well. Used enable virtual desktop FWIW.

    Trying to use a 37" LCD as a single monitor

    Thanks anarcho. That seems like it may work. Don't have the time today, but definitely going to give that a shot.

    Trying to use a 37" LCD as a single monitor

    Yes daytrademargin- Been on this site for 5 years maliciously trying to send viruses to ET members. Give me a break. I am idiot with computers, but somehow have managed to figure out the cntrl print screen function. I tried attaching a .jpg file and it didn't work for whatever reason, so...

    Trying to use a 37" LCD as a single monitor

    Thanks. Tried going out to something like 1900x1440 and all the options in between. The only time I get a signal is with the 1360x768 and 1280x1024. Everything else I get a "signal failed" message. Oh well...I lose. Bummer, was really hoping it would work. Thanks guys.

    Trying to use a 37" LCD as a single monitor

    Didn't get it for a monitor originally. Just moving my SXRD 60" into the bedroom and was trying to use my old bedroom TV as a monitor. So what you are saying is no matter what I do- even though everything is real sharp and looks good, just too big. I can't get it smaller?

    Trying to use a 37" LCD as a single monitor

    1360x768. The resolution is great. Everything is crisp. Just that all my programs are too damn big. My Esignal layout takes up the entire 37" and my trading platform won't resize smaller either. Change the font and the font is smaller, but the window is still huge. Does that make sense...

    Trying to use a 37" LCD as a single monitor

    Got it to look real sharp and crisp, but everything is sized so damn big. I am a total idiot when it comes to computers and haven't a clue what I am doing. But is there a way to make my programs size much smaller? I will attach a screen shot of what my esignal looks like on this screen...

    OK, So been trading successfully for 6 years. Had to change or tweak strategies many times to adjust to the market. But having a very hard time adjusting to hybrid. Seems like my main strategy/edge in tape reading is gonzo, and thats fine. Will find another way. But this is my question...

    Kerkorian Selling Another 14M GM Shares

    Said in the chat room that I got caught long. Don't know what I was thinking. That is a perfect illustration of the idiot that was me today. Bought 10K at those 40s and sent market.....got 25s. Absolutely brialliant on my part. DOH.

    NMX : Is it worth putting in a market buy order?

    Actually, the guys that made over 50K in my office chased it all the way to 130 with some size. I was only in 1000 at 122 and got out right away on ARCA. Thats why it was a layup. Even with the jump, ECNs were crossing a couple points from the prints. The more I think about friday morning...

    NMX : Is it worth putting in a market buy order?

    Chased 1K at 122 and took a whopping 2.5 quick points. Guys in the office chased 130 with some size and took the top. Some very very big days out there. Made some people years. In hindsight, haven't been more pissed at myself EVER. That was a lay up of epic proportions.

    How long did it take for you to be profitable in daytrading?

    Well, if YOU don't know anyone--- it must not be true. Why ANYONE would feel the need to come on an anonymous BBS and "lie" about anything is beyond me.

    How long did it take for you to be profitable in daytrading?

    Why not sweep? I have all the buying power I need with professional leverage. I can't speak about trading. I don't know my win/loss ratio or average win. I am just a monkey who trades news/stories stocks. I am a self admitted idiot that just bangs away reading the tape/specialist.

    How long did it take for you to be profitable in daytrading?

    Never know why people want to talk percentages. In my case, I only keep 10K in my account and sweep profits twice a month. Average month this year is 17,722. Upperbound, what is feasible? Hell, anything is feasible. I am very much on the lower end of the people I trade with. A couple guys are...

    How long did it take for you to be profitable in daytrading?

    Batman, I understand you are more than likely just a child and this is just your form of "smack" to cause trouble and get a rise out of adults. So congrats, you are sitting behind your computer typing nonsense evoking responses. Now on the off chance you are actually just a twit, who...

    How long did it take for you to be profitable in daytrading?

    That explains it. The last time I really bothered posting on ET barring a couple one timers was a couple years ago when this whole board was convinced day trading was over. Got very tiring and quite boring. Some people only see their very narrow reality and convince themselves its the truth...

    How long did it take for you to be profitable in daytrading?

    Did not mean it as an insult. I meant its no surprise b/c I know I have much higher standards for a "good" life. Was born and raised in a wealthy community just outside San Diego. So for me, 200K a year is really nothing. I know its somewhat distorted view of reality. I have been consistently...
