    AMD Bankruptcy or Bounce?

    On the arguments below, this is a market where a significant technical weakness can see severe degradation of market share ... its not cars or refrigerators. Also the EPS on yahoo of -0.34 isn't stellar. The chart is very cool ... the definition of catching falling knives. Best of luck.

    IB Secure Device

    Heres a filtering idea. Security key for money transfer. Log on without security key. But. To trade anything you haven't been trading in the last 30 days requires the security key (it could be 7 days or 90 days). So the security key is for changes of easily measurable behaviour...

    Locking down my TWS

    Use the comodo pro (free) firewall. It lets you be very fussy about what you let talk to what and how it can do it. That plus an external firewall in your router makes you very safe (with virus checking on board). Not browsing or mailing makes you still safer. Not making any of your other...

    a basic image editing software?

    The other nice thing with snagit is the range of auto (but over-ridable) output options. FTP is useful for anyone chatting and using a server like dacharts for images for discussion. I note that hypersnap also has ftp but couldn't find one on gimp.

    What's the point in using "targets"?

    None. I don't care. There is plenty of opportunity. Who in your followers is posting impressive results in the P&L thread?

    What's the point in using "targets"?

    Let your winners run ... an interesting statement but not necessarily the only answer to trading. This is traditionally embraced by those who want to be trend followers. Often its a newbie attitude. Often its a response from those who've had problems and see it as a solution to small winners...

    IB's tick transmission

    robin They don't send you a packet unless there is data. When they do send it (at most one per 0.25-0.3 ms) then it may contain info about 1 tick or more than 1 tick but you will see it as only one tick. 50 ticks in 2m suggests 1 tick every 120/50 ~ 2 seconds. And they may all be 100%...

    fatest way to transfer large files?

    This may sound like a joke but it is potentially the best answer. Its cheap and doesn't need special ultrafast services. Burn a dvdrom and mail it to your correspondent.

    Pentium D and Core 2 Duo--which is better for trading pc?

    The overclocking argument is irrelevant (except that I wouldn't do it to my trading machine while trading). Tomshardware etc give good examples of overclocking core2duo E6300s to outperform E6800s. So you can overclock. So what? The real issue is that the price point on core2duos (which...

    Pentium D and Core 2 Duo--which is better for trading pc?

    Clock speed doesn't tell the whole truth. Even on single apps a core2duo outperforms higher clock speed pentium d's. Even if that were not true a core2 would run TS on one processor and TWS on another giving a better overall performance (you can set processor affinities for the apps if you...
