But only a tiny fraction have the money to participate in this particular gamble.

The key, as in much of trading, is to understand the distortions one produces in filtering information. For such a clear visioned participant there are no illusions. Nirvana is near.

The only problem with the old matrox cards is that they are cpu hogs compared with newer cards. Even a 9250 (which is old and close to free) will load the cpu a lot less.

At least, unlike some of the twats here, he did put a question mark on the end.

I havent read sniper but can attest that the (cheap at that price) taylor trading book is hard to read. Good historical info but ...

Why not just opt out ... I thought that was an option now. You can balance paranoia vs risk to suit yourself.

The newer they are the stronger their opinions. Bizarre but true - you saw it first on ET.

It means you calculate your stop loss + slippage as 2% of equity. Position trading (vs swing or day trading) is for those with equity or those who still have a job and are building up equity. Likelihood is that when you take portfolio heat into account you can take 6-8 positions max at a...

Mr NBBO, On one of those I might be able to help you - #2. I run some of my apps on Ramdisk. Why not get the superspeed ramdisk and install jts and any other required software folders to ramdisk (ss will back it up on exit)?

If your ISP's dns server is down (or some similar issue) that could happen. Who is your ISP? Once you've identified the IB addresses you are calling then get their IP numbers (that way it doesnt need to get a translation of name to number from the dns server). Then you can find out if...

I agree with gnome and dstangier. When you say the ram is twice as much you're doing the wrong calculation. Divide the ram delta by your system cost ... and maybe it an extra 5% ... for maybe 800/667 = 19% performance improvement. I've got 800 now and when I build the next one after xmas...

One or more edges that one has full confidence in. An edge includes entry, exit, trade management and appropriate risk for the times it will take losses. Full confidence means that there are no psych issues - if they are there then work needs to be done to understand the emotions/thoughts...

I skipped a few pages but you don't seem to have a diagnosis yet. 1. Do the alt-ctrl-del thing and look at the processes tab. Sort by CPU (cpu usage). Which process is spiking? 2. Also, have you done something thats causing your CPU to run in a slow mode (ie, if its 2.4GHz its only...
