Get good tweaks like DEF's (above) and you will probably not need the additional stick of RAM. But at $80, why debate this for too long, especially if you load alot of apps or browser windows at one time. XP very is efficient at paging hard drive space but additional RAM is always a step...

I have a chieftec case - it is not too expensive and does the trick just right. Buy a few extra fans for a few bucks and the case will do you right without going big buck for the LianLi...

I am running into an issue with running IB's TWS with 2-3 windows open, including Option chains and market depth, on 512MB DDR 2100 RAM on XP. The "Java hog" TWS will start "freezing" when I am pulling down drop downs to set up orders. This is annoying, not to mention, dangerous in fast...

I think that the most famous of the Sun Tsu quotes about knowing the enemy and yourself is very relevant to trading - most people would think that knowing the enemy (the market) is the key and the only focus/goal they set. They learn technical analysis, they study macroeconomical...

commission costs will eat your lunch when you are down :mad: Let's take this further -- say I am really active, I trade 10 contracts a turn and scalp ... (10-20 times a day would not be hard to do) ... a lower variable cost of $1.18 adds up to real money very quickly - over $100 per...

Surf, my man, That argument I need to leave to the experts who have experienced both platforms. I found FFASTTRADE's protrader demo to be quick, sleek, very easy to enter my trades, and stable on my PC. All things being equal .... is the platform worth the extra $736 every month plus...

Doing the math ... FFASTRADE 1200 trades = $3.32 x 1200 + $550 = $4534.00 You GUYS = 1200 trades = $4.50 x 1200 = $5400 the difference = $866 you give us eSignal (worth $130) the difference of $736 could (a) take me and the...

Thanks for stepping up and adding some value to the consumer. I like cheaper commission, I like better technology in trading interfaces and I hate paying for data and charting ..... Hmmm ... Let's see -- you are beating most of the competition on a $4.50 round trip (no platform) and giving...

I also have a question: Why can't I spread ESZ3 -NQZ3 on eSignal. I seem to be able to do all kinds of other spreads using stock tickers or one emini and a stock ticker, but both eminis just gives me an error that the ticker was not found. :(

Please continue .... I don't want this topic to die.:)

Hi, How do you feel about trading multiple accounts? One would be for scalping retracements, counter-trend trading and other short term movement. Another would be for trend trading and would be for several hours through swing trading. A third may be for position trading. Is this too...

I sense alot of the after hours play has to be from abroad and is highly correlated to the activity on the FX. But is this a viable strategy after the present situation with the dollar stabilizes?

Hi Trader1234: I think you did well yesterday - your two trades, entered according to sound logic and good observation, both look good. My only observation - and this is the area where I am presently working hard, is the exit on the first trade. Obviously, it is easy to say that you should...

IB supposedly has a decent API and would work with C++. I am at the way beginning of the same type of project, so I am still not the best person to answer here, but I wanted to give you a lead. IB is a real time feed right now - so you need to be up to gather data, you would need another...

And to think .. a hundred messages ago I actually praised the level of maturity and positive criticism on this thread. :mad:

This is so therapeutic - just what I needed on the week I am taking off to clear my head. I am so jazzed doing this stuff that I put together three options for you to use and perhaps gain some Excel knowledge from. Personally, I would put the dailies in Column H on the same sheet - I always...

Hi - Sorry but I don't see any solutions on that thread - just 2 people reporting issues and you asking for a way to contact them. :confused: I too have had problems with the 1 minute $SPX not updating on several occasions until I closed the application/reopened - but the ES charts I...

GG: Since I am now in back in my "zone" -- I used to have dozens of people line up all day on a very large Energy trading floor asking for this type of help and more ... Let me introduce you to =index(datatable,row,column) : (1) data This is your target - you would need to capture the...

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to show some skills here: the only thing you are missing in the new formula when you added the dimension of sheets to the mix is a way to tell Excel to refer back to sheet1 to find the data. If you have your reference data - the stuff in b10, b20, ...

GG: Excel copies and fills based on the series of values you are dragging lower - unfortunately, when there is a refernence instead of a value it uses relative referencing - it doesn't look at the cell references it just increases the row based on the distance you are filling from the...
