    Looking to hire mentor: $1k

    I just think he's ludicrous... he's sort of taking on a demanding/accusing tone, no?

    Be bright, give up being right

    There is actually a plane of outcomes you can calculate that only require your percent wins and win/loss ratio to produce.. it's most instructive to do that and to simulate a hundred different accounts with monte carlo stimulus, you will find that you can go down into the 35% winners area and be...

    Those IB charts are horrible... I set one up to see all the IV type data on INTC, changed the symbol to GOOG and it retained the IV data on INTC!! Why can't they do customer service and charts?? IB as an organization has almost engineered the human out of the picture including the end...

    View ET without your ignore list

    Well technically speaking, prism's don't do reflections, they do spectrums.... that's the spectrum of my ignore list... Your post leads me to the question: "would I have myself on ignore if I weren't myself"... hell no, I'm not THAT boring, I'll inform as long as I'm not handing over my core...

    or they can't overcome the overriding personal mandate to do everything on the cheap... wifey and I are cleaning up a piece of real estate that was owned by a cheap-ass with hundreds of thousands of dollars in the banks. The place was filled up knee deep with cheap stuff, we were months in...

    Buying a new monitor (suggestions please)

    LaCie makes monitors for photographers, personally I'm looking at their stuff first next time I upgrade, seems more likely they would vet stuff for quality than Dell/typical schlockers... besides you can calibrate it for rendition and photoshop with it!!

    For Real Men!

    i'm definitely not a real man, never will be.... talk about a stomach churner, my computer might be a real man eventually at the rate I am programming, he could have handled that s^&t with ease, I admire him actually... but I'd still be upset with him for getting those trades busted... Hmmm...
