    Eye Strain from Trading

    It is very, very, VERY important to drink an adequate amount of water. Get used to swigging a gulp every few minutes. It'll soon be habit. This will help with a multitude of health issues and dry eyes in particular. It also helps with headache, ulcers, cancer, heart disease, etc. etc. I'm not...

    Qcharts 4.2 problem

    Cdntrader, you are quite right. I would have never upgraded so soon. But Qcharts said that they are using a new "continuum client" that won't function with the older versions in the near future. If this truly is typical of the way Qcharts does things, I want no part of it.

    Qcharts 4.2 problem

    Thanks Nkhoi! For some bizarre reason Qcharts removed the beta from the site and I (stupidly) deleted the old version, so I had nothing. The beta works great.

    Qcharts 4.2 problem

    Thank you very much for the info, I guess there is a reason Realtick is $250 and people gladly pay for it. I'll be calling them Monday.

    Qcharts 4.2 problem

    Any ideas? I downloaded the new 4.2 after cleaning out 4.1 and it won't run. After login I get an error message regarding MFC42.DLL and KERNEL32.DLL. I tried to download again, but the link to down load is screwed up? Great way to start a new week! Any suggestions or info apprecitated.

    MM/SP knows Day Traders????????

    I'm simply amazed that after four pages of responses to an individual that lost 70 large hasn't seen fit to admit that maybe this person would have been better off spending some of that 70 grand on some education first. Many of you out there trash companies that charge several thousands of...

    Opinions needed for TA combinations

    Niterider: While I more or less agree that 20 and 30 seem to be extremes worth considering, I look more toward the trend of the VIX and read "inverse divergences". For instance; if the VIX is making a new low while the market index is making a new high, there is a good chance that you're...

    Opinions needed for TA combinations

    Based on over two years of reading dozens of books and watching one very profitable trader for a week of solid trading I have come to the following conclusion: other than using tick and trin and vix to get an idea of market internals I don't use indicators. Not one. When I stopped looking at...

    Need Help w/ System Resources

    shorty, there are a couple of things you can do to help alleviate problem. With all due respect to others responses, 448 of ram is way more than I've ever needed. I run Q charts, IB's TWS, email, 2 browsers, scheduler, etc. all at the same time and have never been lower than 60%. First off...

    Will I ever move over 25K limit ...

    lojze, I have this suggestion: CAREFULLY analyze every trade you've ever done. Classify them by specific strategy employed. Find #1 strategy and fine tune that strategy to make it as good as you can. By focusing on one thing you'll become an expert at it, affording you the greatest chance at...

    Looking for better trading tools!

    Shorty, here's my take on your questions: 1) Are there real time charting services that offer the chart quality and flexibility of Prophet charts, but are more reliable? Quicken Quotes Live has worked great for me at a cost of $65 per month including options chains and level 2. No symbol...

    pci cards

    uptick: the short answer is: probably. Some combinations work and some don't. All you can do is try. Plug the new card in, hook up the monitor, and let windows find and install the new hardware. It very likely will work fine. Good luck, email me if it doesn't work and I'll try and give you hand.

    IB TWS/ Pristine Chat conflict solution

    I spoke with pristine's support people who told me you can't use their software with IB TWS. I found a work-around. Look in your control panel, there will be an icon for JAVA. Double click and click on the browser tab. Just disable JAVA as a default plug-in for your browser. No more problem...

    Oh for shame!!!

    Tampa, I couldn't agree more. For hundreds of years of written history the sages have told us you get what you focus on. If you're watching out for "crooks" (or whatever words you happen to define evil with) you're likely to find them. While the whiners are warning us, the true masters are...

    Help with IB wiring instructions

    Thanks for the comments. I've got a big city bank, but go to my local rural branch. They acted like they were doing me a big favor ( and of course charged for the wire). Next time to the main office, thanks again.

    Help with IB wiring instructions

    I've been on hold to talk with someone for over 2 hours, tried e-mailing, and chat doesn't work. Can someone tell me how critical following IB's web-site wire instructions are. I don't know if I did it right or not. My bank can't seem to follow IB's instructions. Any comments?

    Pristine chatrooms - worth $750? or no..?

    I happen to have learned A LOT from pristine. More in fact than all the books, web-sites and other seminars put together. It may not work for you, but don't bash it because of that. What works for you works, what doesn't, doesn't. You don't need to spend $750/month. Pristine offers a chat room...
