I've been able to login for the last 3 hours (primary server HK). I don't know about spi and nk but the HSI is powering away - no problems. So, come on over, the water is warm and this contract is a great mover HSIF7 (jan)

The old "should we predict" argument in another guise. predict v 1: make a prediction about; tell in advance; "Call the outcome of an election" If one believes that the prediction is absolute then TA doesn't predict. If one believes that the prediction is statistical then TA...

{ Poor Entries and Exits } + { Great Money Management } = Slow Death { Great Entries and Exits } + { Weak Money Management } = Still a winner unless you really bet too much (2% rule will keep you afloat)

Pardon? This is bad ... why (ignoring that its a mixed up statement invoking normal statistics with joyous ignorance)? If any new trader can win 68% of the time (hell or even 66.666* percent of the time) then unless his losses are bigger than his wins he can become a happy little trader...

The book is interesting but - as a means of addressing the question of whether you can use price analysis of the market to trade - it is essentially more reductionist crap. Surfer has hyped it (and other books he should be ashamed of) before. See this thread for Surfer's hype and a...

Thanks Sal, Its excellent to see our suppliers working together for our benefit. A nice way to start 2007. Cheers.

I'm running 864.7 (the Nov version from the software downloads) and its running fine (java 6) with no upgrade messages.

I think your chances of a gap up tomorrow are probably close to 100% ... but ... it doesn't have to follow through.

I think your windows xp feature was native support of dual monitors on dual head or two cards without needing a specific oe manufacturers software.

The Quadro is a great solution for trading. The Nvidia 7950 fanless sounds excellent if you want to add flight sims or other graphics intensive games. I'm using a 7900GS which is less powerful and has a quiet fan that runs very slowly under normal load...

LOL Look up the word cult. Then go there ( http://www.dhamma.org/ ). You might be wise enough to perceive the difference. Or you might not?

Thanks Sal, Happy New Year. I hope the fireworks in your part of the world were as much fun as they were down here.

But you'll never get one of those "why did it slow down then" feelings again. I've got an e6600 core2 with 2G's of 800MHz ram and its way too fast for ZeroLine Trader, SierraChart and IB TWS. I don't know which apps/threads are running on which of the cores and I don't really care. But it...

Any answer please IB?

A question for IB. One of the reasons that SC put a future time on the backfill request is that they may be issuing multiple requests and there is sometimes a significant delay before the backfill takes place (especially if there were a number of 20+ day requests). The other was to allow for...

Sierra Chart have released a Version 139 that uses current time and thus works with IB's new server software. The old approach was to request beyond current time in case a customer's PC clock was incorrectly set - providing some robustness - and I'm not sure that refusing these requests...

I was using 860.1 which was good. Upgraded to 865.x yesterday before trading. Its good too.

Interesting that you can do everything you mentioned and then some with SierraChart ... nice interface with C for those who want to really make it do strange things or with a worksheet for those who are not programmers.

Stocktrader, Dragon isn't really being difficult here. The issue is that the markets are statistical beasts so, with a small sample size (less than the absolute minimum 30 trades) its very hard to have any evidence that its not just luck. To generate evidence you really need a lot more...

LOL. Understood now. For my old style point and click trading I don't need the power but I can certainly admire the specs :)
