    Graphics cards information

    Nitro, Why all the PCIe16 slots. I run one fast(ish) card (nvidea 7900GS chosen for speed, 2 outputs and because its very quiet unless running at high processing load) which is for my two primary screens and (really) for flight simulators. But the rest of my screens can run on slower...

    Try HSI and the SGXNK. Nice contracts and HSI in particular should help keep you awake.

    Its the osaka mini ... a dollar a point and 5 point moves like the SGXNK ... so u now have a great range. No, I trend trade the HSI but my trend is often only 5 or 6 minutes long :)

    IB TWS Asian Server Backfill Problems?

    mg, How do I check the api version? I'm using Sierrachart but also tried with Quotetracker and it wasn't great either. I suspect its not my software because nothing changed since last week (when it worked wonderfully!). Found a file API_VersionNum.txt and I'm on 8.85 .... I suspect...

    I have had problems downloading IB backfill data for the last two days. Just from the Hong Kong server. Is this a known issue?

    IB TWS's forced upgrade (deadline 20061222)

    It means "if you have a problem with an earlier build you are on your own - you will be asked to upgrade to a supported build and resubmit the problem is it still exists." I happily run 860.9 with no problems and no requirement for support (I also plan to keep windows Xp for quite a while).

    Which cpu is it running on?

    I've just got a Core2 system running and am exploring it. How do you tell what is allocated to which CPU? I'd like to know which elements of my trading environment are running where. Is there a simple monitoring program out there?

    EMA vs. SMA

    It depends on your goal. If its smoothing the price with minimum lag then the best thing is a jurik ma, t3 ma or hull ma. If its support and resistance intraday then because most traders use emas use emas. If its support and resistance on a daily timeframe then because many big traders...

    Getting disciplined

    Be sure to let us know if you find the easy answer. I find I just have to remind myself of my major failings each day and then work to do more good things and wait through more of the bad things. Its not been easy but at least its more rewarding the better you do :)

    Upgrade XP MCE to XP Pro in Laptop?

    Realistically, how important is Microsoft's support? There are a lot of people running windows 98 without any support and very happy with it - not me but I can see me hanging on to my mix of XP variants long after vista arrives.

    Williams Awesome Oscillator..

    Bill Williams stuff is just marketing crap. Old stuff slightly reshaped and sex'd up with the Chaos label. More bullshit to sell books, courses and tutoring. If you are going to use it please come and try it with Hang Seng futures :)

    XP Pro no boot

    If you do a windows install on top of itself you shouldn't have to reinstall all of your software. Choose the least destructive option first.

    does this market seem manipulated???

    All markets are as manipulated as they can be ... and its a good thing. No. Its a great thing. Because, as suggested here, those who can read the moves, whatever causes them stand to profit handsomely. I love the HSI :)
