Ok ... a bit of research Networking performance: http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.aspx?i=2917&p=9 OS Performance http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.aspx?i=2917&p=11 http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.aspx?i=2917&p=12 Vista performance is worse but not awful. Vista needs 1GByte more ram...

I'd be surprised if it wasn't faster. When i went to an e6600 with 800MHz ram xp went thru the roof. If you can do it without much effort the interesting question would be the relative performance of xp and vista. Has anyone seen that detailed somewhere?

Adding java 1.6 doesnt require you to use it for TWS. I have 1.6 and 1.5 11 and just point the TWS command line at the javaw.exe in the 1.5 11 directory ignore the double slashes C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre1.5.0_11\\bin\\javaw.exe -cp...

LOL .... Now I can feel the love. Allmighty1, with this response ... I like you. Welcome to ET :)

Jim, Here's the number 1 rational objection: I don't want to hand anyone a blank cheque to increase my costs. If someone can demonstrate to me that the insurance is reasonably priced then I'll look at it.

Just open an account with any of the brokers and wire them the money. They'll want some details (photocopied passports etc) as part of the process but its no big thing.

Don't try to help him ... this is his chance to show some spine for once and leave. That's what IB want and the rest of us are bored with his never ending whinging. Go Scotty ... they're sending you the message. :p

He's right. I got PM's from IB reps last night letting me know they've decided to get rid of both scotts. It's your message scotty. Go now!

Efficient computer operation is not compatible with Vista. Its for kiddies who want a flashy interface and parents who want to control their browsing. Run, don't walk.

Guy's its great that we like IB but we're missing an opportunity here. Both scott's should leave IB. They waste customer service time and they waste def and other local's time. We don't want them --- its time for them to go somewhere where they can get the service they so richly deserve...

LOL Scotty. Time you f'd off into the sunset ... IB will be glad to be rid of your time wasting 5k account. As usual though you couldn't get a thing right. There are better choices but maybe MB would be tooooo advanced for the likes of you.

Or your partner or you kid did it.

Both price and volume can be real time indicators (ignoring delay from exchange to pc, pc to eye, and your brain's processing). So can the CCI because the indicator moves directly with close. Lagging is caused by smoothing not by indicators. All forms of smoothing (see a macd, stoch, or...

Techanalysis ... the key is to keep old versions of the image. My favourite is the first one because there is no extra crap, no changes, nothing to slow things down. Then you just update with any new software + backup data. 20 mins for the basics and 10 mins to tidy up (if you're fast :))

Actually, reformatting is a solution for repeated stupidity. Its related to sensible precautions in the same was as abortion to birth control. A bit drastic and hard on the person but it will even resolve the issues that sensible precautions fail to prevent. Here's a trick though. When you...

5 isn't an issue. Run the earlier mentioned software. Look at using something like enditall to get rid of processes you don't want during trading (you can create a little batch file to kill them).

The short term vs long term comparison is interesting but not valid. If someone masters the skills required to continue to make good money when the indexes go sideways or down then they have achieved a lot more than most bull market heroes. I remember 87 and 00.

No. Def would only be way out of line if he called some of the IB baiting wankers the wankers that they are. Instead he gives honesty and some idiots get upset about it. IB, the idea of arranging a policy option (or an insurance company introduction) for those who want might not be a bad...

Or, more politely, you haven't yet reached the point where your focus and confidence is so great that you ignore other opinions. The same problem applies in chat rooms where a strong opinion may sway participants from valid trades based on their own strategies. I recall NQoos recommended...
