The people with their heads cut off standing around in 1920's formalwear may have something do with it. :D

We are talking about ads that were running here in Q3 of last year, not what IB did 20 years prior.

Hey, what's up guys? Did you hear about that new restaurant they just put on the moon? The food is great, but there's no atmosphere. :D:D:D:D

Totally agree. We ran those exact ads for IBKR and some other ones as well and they were amongst the worst performing ads ever. Since I've had the luxury of seeing which ads work and which ads don't over the last 18 years, I tried to help them out with some advice, but it all fell on deaf ears.

I read a few of the articles but I'm still uncertain as to what I read. Guy's gone totally cray-cray. :D

Geez. The collusion between the government and that casino was pretty outrageous. The casino has games that are rigged in their favor to begin with, and they break their backs to get big players in the door so those players can lose lots of money. And as long those players are losing, the...

That was a cool video and the technology is certainly impressive, but it doesn't really seem like it's solving any problem we all have. I don't need to look at Saturn in my kitchen or have 3-D sharks swimming in my office, or surf the internet wearing those goggles. I just don't get it.

Your issue is that you've got a weak model of behavior. You need to build a trading strategy that gives you firm rules for entries, exits, and overall risk management. It sounds like you're good at cutting losses, which is awesome, but you need a better mental model so you know exactly what...

Ok, so let's flip the issue around by asking you this one question: If all of a sudden you were elected president, what policies would you put into place that would TRULY achieve the kind of GDP growth you mentioned above?

It's interesting that the site which hosts that article has an advertisement at the top of the page for a company offering trading in CFDs and binary options. :D

No, it's not a matter of cost. It's just that I'd rather not have it available at all then have it available and it be dead.

Screw that. That's ridiculous.

I removed the chat room due to lack of use. I tried it twice and on both occasions it started out good but eventually fizzled out for whatever reason.

I received a bullshit call similar to the one above this past summer, and I was so disturbed when I first heard it that I literally have it memorized to this day: "This is Deborah from Trial Mediation Professionals, Inc. and we've just received your case file from the courthouse about the...

There's a base OS that's already installed on it, and then I would just do a fresh install of whatever I needed to put on top of that, like Apache or MySQL or whatever. Those linux package management programs have really made all of that essentially a one-command process. But again, I would...

Yeah, always.

It's over built a little bit but we definitely use it all. It's the uploading of file attachments like charts and photos, and extensive searches that would bog down a dual core system like you described. Add some peak traffic to that scenario and the whole setup would come to a screeching halt...

Frequent backups. I just find that it's way easier and practical to frequently backup and restore to a fresh setup than it is to constantly be managing (and paying for) a bunch of redundancy that you rarely, if ever, need. I mean, I love ET as we all do, but let's face it, what we do here isn't...

They are all different because they do different things. For example, the database server is a quad core setup with 16GB of RAM, whereas the search cluster is a dual CPU, high-memory setup (40GB) because it holds everything in memory so results can be delivered quickly. The web server is dual...

I switched the forum software in August of 2014, and I upgraded all server hardware over the past 12 months. I even moved everything over to a new datacenter a few months ago. :thumbsup:
