When I switched from CRTs to LCDs, I had no more headaches. Cancel your cable tv, weekly massage, whatever, just do what it takes to make the switch asap. The savings in electrical usage by having LCDs will cover a lot of the purchase price.

Search for Symantec Firewall or Symatec Router or Symantec 200 or Symantec VPN200. I found 4 or 5. This one looks pretty good: http://cgi.ebay.com/Symantec-ISB-VPN200-Firewall-Router-Nexland-VPN-WAN-1U_W0QQitemZ5876267886QQcategoryZ51168QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Also, the...

In my experience (I'm no networking expert by any means), dual routers do not provide instantaneous failover. My post above was not very clear...if my first ISP goes down, IB TWS and Qcharts take 30 seconds or so to reconnect to the backup ISP using the Nexland dual router. X-Trader takes about...

I have a Nexland dual router that died about a month ago. I rcv'd a replacement last week and lately both of my ISPs have been a little flaky. Long story short, for me, I think a better way is to have one ISP per computer b/c I can log into X-Trader on the other computer faster than the Nexland...

It's in the works...they need to install new servers that have X Trader 7 something or other on them.

Not "always." Every once in a while it's been released on the second Friday.

If this is old news, I hadn't seen it: "Arriving home from a five-week trip to Belgium and India on Aug. 14, a jet-lagged Korukonda L. Murty picked up his mail – and got the shock of his life. Two monthly statements from online brokerage E*Trade Financial Corp. showed that securities worth...

I've run IB TWS and Qcharts with X-Trader...no problems at all.

I may try the upgraded cpu route as you suggested. My motherboard can take up to an AMD XP 2700+ cpu if I flash the BIOS, so that's a big improvement over what I have. I'll look into the G200 BIOS also. Thank you for your suggestion.

Osiris, If you're buying that many monitors, make sure they are mountable so you can attach them to a stand or on the wall. The Sharp monitors in one of your links do not look like they are mountable. If the specs say "VESA compliant" then they are.

I'm not arguing here, just pointing out what TT says: "TT's measurements have shown that the graphics display is usually the performance bottleneck for client applications. With this in mind, TT recommends that the customer make the appropriate investment in capable and high-end graphics...

Thanks. I have Task Manager open nearly all the time and ram usage never goes above 180 mb. The reason I've noticed my cpu usage lately is that the night session isn't what they used to be and I'm considering switching to trading during the day.

W2K Pro and chip is AMD 1800 XP (1.5 GHz). Half a gig of ram which is way more than enough. Video card is Matrox G200 quad (running 3 monitors) but I think it only has 32 mb of memory. Machine is 3.5 yrs. old.

This morning just after 9 am CST, I watched the cpu for a while with Excel and the ME window open. Closed Excel and observed then closed the ME window. I could not tell the difference in cpu use when they were open or closed. I had 100% cpu peaks and I'm certain that during a major number that...

Ok. I'll let you know.

Yes, yes. "Your fear makes it so" as a therapist of mine used to tell me. My fears parallel Thunderdog's: fear of being alone and fear that my trading method will stop working. I also have a fear of success. I've been working on all three for years.

Yes, the only products in the ME window are the three I mentioned. In Excel, I have the bid/offer for ZB, ZN, ZF feeding into Excel, so that's 6 links. From there, I have maybe 20 cells that do simple math to calculate the FYT, NOB, and the B-FLY, e.g. That's it. I'll try turning off ME and...

What is TIBCO? I'm running X-Trader 6.x only (not Pro) on a dedicated machine built from scratch...I never surf, email or install/uninstall on this machine unless it pertains to Windows update or X-Trader. I have 3 MD-Trader windows open (ZF, ZN, ZB) along with the usual OrderBook and...

AAA, Well said. VERY well said. I don't need the bells and whistles. I chart futures only and have very basic charts...volume at the bottom of a bar chart and maybe a trendline or two. That's it. I do like the time and sales feature of Qcharts b/c it shows bid/ask/trade instead of just...
