I am running pretty much the same amount of symbols and half as many charts with 2 different quote feeds on my Dell T3400 Workstation. It has an E8200 Core 2-Duo with a 6MB L2 cache at 2.66 GHz. I am running 4 Gigs of RAM and it simply purrrrrs . . . Anything more than this would be...

Same as the Core 2 Duo series, but the major change is that they removed the FSB from the processor. This communication bus ( the FSB ) runs at a set MHz and is determined by the architecture used. This bus allows the CPU to send data to and from the system memory via the Northbridge...

Not sure when you last used Ameritrade. Your post did not say. I currently use Ameritrade via the Quoteracker trading platform ( which is FREE ) on one of my workstations and have Level-II direct access. Can easily negotiate commissions lower given certain levels of trading activity...

I'm currently running an Intel E8200 Core 2 Duo at 2.66 with a 6MB L2 cache and 4 gigs of RAM in a Dell T3400 Precision Workstation. Can't complain whatsoever. Besides, most trading platforms run pretty thin anyway and don't require a lot of processor capability. The software isn't even...

Just an FYI . . . TD Ameritrade has very recently ( during the month of December ) upgraded all of the micro-processors on their servers that support their data-feeds. They have also re-written code, and made numerous other improvements to their data-feed. I have been using Quotetracker...

True.

Please post a "screen-shot" of your current positions that will benefit from such a move down. Thank You.

Why is it that you still have not ANSWERED my questions regarding the President elect's appointments and the "unproven" track record that you claim in regards to the new Administration??? Are you not going to answer them?

So in your book, you feel that political motives are synonymous with corruption??? How convenient of you to put words and definitions in my mouth. Please show me where I stated in any of my posts that Congress is corrupt? I don't believe that I did. Instead, you appear to have lumped...

An unproven track record? My God, do you even have a clue as to who President elect Obama has appointed to his cabinet? For example, what is it about Robert Gates as Secretary of Defense that is unproven in your opinion? What is it about General Jim Jones and his appointment as the...

I think that you need to do some homework. Afghanistan is a totally different situation ( and country ) than Iraq. In fact, Iraq makes Afghanistan look like a well developed country with tons of infrastructure and a centralized government. If President elect Obama makes the kind of...

Once again, I am amazed at how politically naive you are. I repeat . . . Why you would actually think that Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Barney Frank have anything in common with the Bush Administration is absolutely beyond me. Did it ever occur to you that the Democratic leadership in...

For those of you that trade actively via TD Ameritrade's APEX platform or QUOTETRACKER, you should start to see much better quotes in the near future. I've been told that they have upgraded the hardware of their entire server farm, re-written code, and made numerous improvements in order to...

I'm back at my desk guys, but not paying too much attention as I am working on taxes and year end stuff. Hope everyone is having a great Holiday Season! :)

First off, you need to realize that when you call a level-one tech support rep at Comcast you are merely calling into a calling center where they simply try to cover the most BASIC problems. More often than not, anyone that trades professionally from home and has built-up their own home office...

Even more important is the FACT ( and I have witnessed this personally while working for Paul Tudor Jones many years ago when he was in his infancy ) is that some of the most successful traders are able to maintain a very even emotional "keel" on BOTH their winners and losers. In fact, most of...

Once again, you completely missed my point . . . But I am not surprised given your partisanship bias and your lack of knowledge regarding how government and politics "work" in this Country. Given some of your comments on ET ( and lack of grammar ), I would guess that you are quite young...

Agreed 100%. Iraq IS in fact a "developed" nation with a centralized government compared to the rural setting of Afghanistan. MAJOR investments must be made to create modern physical and political infrastructure in order to gain the support of the Afghan people. This means building roads...

I lived on The Strand in Manhattan Beach for a brief period . . . Too many spoiled and snooty USC alums for my blood. :D
