Glad to hear you got it working! So it depends on the order of installation. I've actually seen that sort of thing before with other add in cards. To be fair to your friend: not enough power or p/s malfunction is a reasonable guess, just not likely given you have a 550W Antec, and...

Antec makes good units, so there's probably no need to check voltages. It's not hard to do, though, if you can borrow a multimeter. Just be sure to avoid touching high voltage points! It sounds more like a hardware/driver conflict, or possibly bad memory. Maybe check the BIOS setup for...

Here's a thread that has some numbers for the ATI cards: http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/forums.asp?s=2&c=7&t=9354 Looks like 41W are drawn at full load for the x1600, and 31W for each x1300. This is not quite as high as one sees reported elsewhere, and not as high as for some of the older cards...

I think so. Check out conditional orders in the IB user guide under advanced order types. You can make orders contingent on the value of an index. It seems like you would want to set up an OCA order group with a buy and a sell order for FDAX, with each side being contingent on the...

John Merchant ... Ian and Sylvia were great. Thanks for reminding me. Now I've got some nostalgic listening for the weekend :)

There is some math required in order to do it but you can learn. It helps if you've had a bit of calculus. Suppose that V was the value function of some kind of derivative instrument, that is, suppose V is the result of solving some model for the price of the instrument as a function of...

Put options, if you are trading near the money puts, will move somewhat less than 1/2 as fast as the QQQ until they go in the money, so they're not quite comparable to outright shorting the QQQ; the outright short would move faster. But if you keep the value of your positions in NQ near the...

Some terminology might help. In futures trading the things you trade are called contracts, not lots, (people also call them cars for short). The minimum trade size is one contract. When you buy or sell a contract, you don't pay or receive money, other than commissions and fees. This...

Well said. I think this cuts to the heart of the matter. I only disagree with you on one point ... I like to throw all of my underwear and shirts up in the air and leave them on the floor where they fall. No one close to me has ever approved, for some random reason.

Just a response to this last paragraph ... as for the rest, I enjoyed your discussion very much. I think that market events are a subset of the class of natural events. From that you can probably tell I'm not a dualist. :cool: Of course, not all classes of natural events are easily...

This site has a very long term chart (1867-2003) in constant (2000) dollars. http://www.wtrg.com/prices.htm

Agreed ... growth in world demand is running at 1.8 million barrels per day per year (IEA), with global demand forecast at 84.3 mb/day for 2005. Global supply will not be able to keep up in the long term ... take all proven reserves and double them, and with current growth rates we exhaust...
