LOL. Guys. He may have software issues but he probably can't fix them anyway. He will benefit by increasing ram if hes under 512k but if his system is near antique now and his trading apps have continued to get hungrier he will also benefit by a new processor/motherboard. And given...

A good example occured today with the low 1 hour before close registered in charts as 16860 and the lowest on tws at 16832. This was later confirmed with futuresource. 15 minutes before close 16832 was reached again and the opportunity to trade the resistance wasn't available if you didn't...

Hans, You seem to be saying is that futures is tougher than stocks. But how does that change the answer?

You might ask the question on the SC support board. Too much for me to deal with at the moment. http://www.sierrachart.com/discus/messages/2/2.html

Yes (two types of range chart with slightly different formation rules) and Yes. :)

Excellent point toc (although tight doesnt mean "too tight"). The thread is wrong though. I can attest that you can make money in GBL, ESTX50, EUR and HSI ... and I personally know others who make money on Nikkei and DAX. As always you need to study the market until you perceive the...

Thanks for the extra information torel. Ignoring your naturally offensive style and your desire to argue that black is white and nonsense is nononsense its good to see that we agree that: - IB's datastream should be at least as timely as it is now (any future improvements would also be...

As will Sierra Chart (tick, volume, range etc): http://www.sierrachart.com

Notice that the new core duos have a faster clock speed so they should be able to move data in and out of (fast) memory faster. Damn, they're so cool it might be time to look at a new system.

Yes it is, although "uses" is a bit of an exaggeration. Most of us have probably tried it though.

LMAO nononsense. Amusing to choose that name and then spend thousands of posts spouting nonsense. You're either completely thick or it just makes you feel good.

Interesting. And interesting what Maxpi says about this. I think that the poll result reflects where most poll answerers are at currently but that Maxpi's answer is correct. I was rereading some Mark Douglas material earlier this week and he said that discipline was something you needed...

Yes it could be sufficient. And, yes, using something like Sierra Chart or Ensign would be better.

nonsense or not? http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/07/14/core2_duo_knocks_out_athlon_64/page17.html#core_2_duo_scaling_vs_fx62_and_pentium_ee

It all depends on what you're trying to do and what market you're trading. I trade microswings (happen multiple times a day in the context of (potentially) multiple intraday trends). On euro I use different times to hsi which are different to those on bund. Once you have an idea you can...

Dan, As a loyal IB user who personally prefers to trade futures over forex (because I have spent the time to really get to know eur/usd futures) I still disagree with you wrt one bucket shop. I would happily recommend that someone used Oanda on ultramini size to learn to trade forex. The...

Agreed edge, dcraig. One thing about the singles is that u might see better performance per dollar on a single processor if one app is responsible for most of your processor load ... to me it would depend on how big the gap was currently vs what the performance is and I havent done the...

He did say he only had 256k though and I remember when I upgraded to XP with only 256k ... it is a bit light.

To understand the gaps watch the other world indexes. It makes it especially funny to listen to Australian talking heads explaining what happened in the Aussie stock market that justifies todays change when it was almost entirely due to last nights move in the US markets. NZSE40(lol) > SPI...

You might consider setting up a system that will take next gen duo chips (say to buy 1 year from now) but put a current gen (slightly under bleeding edge and thus cost effective) single processor chip into the pc. Put in a gig of ram now and u can add another gig if it needs it later (man that...
