Does it work when you turn your firewall off? What firewall?

A variation on whister's idea. Run two doms, one on sim, the other on cash. Take any trade you feel like on the sim dom and just take the best on the cash dom. For me I find that sim is as involving and thus satisfying as cash so it lets me try out doubtful trades in real time without...

I am starting to think about the next computer and thinking that some grunt would be cool. But I would also like portability if possible. My question: What's the comparison between laptops with core2duos and towers? And how does the ram compare? Any good reference sites?

LOL spider, I have to admit that discretion is the better part of valour. I stay out of Surfers and Broadbeach for a couple of weeks a year (for Americans Schoolies is the Aussie equivalent of Spring break for 17/18 year olds who are about to graduate from High School). I do have a use for...

We're not your detractors cscott. We think you're just the best thing. And telling the ET guys that they should let you pump penny stocks --- you are the king around here. Keep doing us the favour of discouraging your kind from using IB ... the less the better ... no point wasting their...

Now that Firefox 2 is out the speed disadvantage with respect to Avant seems to have been overcome. Loading is nearly as fast and rendering (using the recommended memory and speed mods below) is actually faster on Futuresource pages. I like the inline spellchecker. Finally the firefox add...

1. Bud isn't really beer. 2. VB is held by only some to be a good beer. but 3. Even if you don't like VB you have a multitude of beer and wine choices available.

Yes, I like the fact that Austin is clearly a vendor but makes no attempt to troll for customers. His views are worth hearing.

dbPhoenix and LamontC :)

Also Surfer, please confirm that you get no payment direct or indirect (co-marketing etc) for advertising the book here? If not, then why use an Amazon link that appears to identify the referrer? I note your retraction on scumbag Covel's trash in the other thread...

Borrowed from Stockcharts: "Old Rules...but Very Good Rules" If I've learned anything in my 17 years of trading, I've learned that the simple methods work best. Those who need to rely upon complex stochastics, linear weighted moving averages, smoothing techniques, Fibonacci numbers etc...

D, You should be thanking Cscott. Each time he succeeds in his one man mission to dissuade newbies from using IB that means that they don't have to hand hold someone like cscott. That means more service for the rest of us. Win-win; How good does it get? :)

We'd all appear more intelligent if we used the spell checker :) But the key issue is that the book is not scientific unless its advertising blurb is completely at odds with its content (I refer to my earlier post in this dialogue).

One opinion. A buy for me requires a signal with a particular certainty (say confidence = 75%) and a risk reward for the logical stop and likely termination area (even if you trail a stop you should have an idea how far a setup is likely to travel). A sell for me requires a signal with a...

Copied from their site: "EBTA rejects all subjective, interpretive methods of Technical Analysis as worse than wrong, because they are untestable. Thus classical chart patterns, Fibonacci based analysis, Elliott Waves and a host of other ill defined methods are rejected by EBTA. Yet there are...

Welcome Don, Good post that added some light to the subject. Its interesting to see pilots joining engineers and accountants amongst those groups that had a high degree of certainty about the outcomes they would produce.

Everything on Elliot Wave especially Prechter's stuff - lead to a period following his newsletter and a true understanding of Snake Oil :)

Let us know if those memory mods work on 2 lilboy ... this one's still a hog. Although it does seem to boot faster.

I couldn't name the states (that is truly admirable :)) but a simpler version is: standby turns most of ur computer off and saves the current situation in RAM - good=fast recovery; bad=if lose power then everything is lost. hibernation saves everything to disk and turns the power off...
