At that size and clunkiness, you might as well get one of the newer smartphones running PalmOS or Windows Mobile such as the Treo 700w, Treo 650, etc. I used to trade with a GPRS-capable Treo 600 on Cingular (and later, T-Mobile).

NLP is just a technology, a tool. It requires some measure of expertise to implement successfully, and many failed NLPers often blame the tool rather than their ineptitude. The biggest reason people fail at NLP is that they choose to implement goals that are contrary to their subconscious...

Agreed--I can back up Pabst too. It wasn't until I started compiling my statistics that I realized how vital discipline is to keeping a profitable system working. I wasn't enforcing my stops and profit targets, and the stats showed that I would have lost the whole account if I continued in...

NLP and hypnosis worked exceptionally well for me, not just in trading. I had a serious self-worth problem for most of my life and was able to rectify that like switching railroad tracks. My life has been going in a much better direction ever since that point, especially regarding choosing...

LOL! Your situation is a lot like mine, though I have had the benefit of having "been there, done that." Some words of advice: 1) Keep your housing costs as low as possible. 2) Keep your car costs as low as possible. Even if you can buy a nice car with cash, a luxury car costs more to...

This is a pretty powerful alternative, and since it is electric, it would essentially be using cheap nuclear or hydroelectric power, rather than high-cost, high-emissions fossil fuels. http://money.cnn.com/2006/05/04/technology/business2_wrightspeed/index.htm

The market isn't as short-sighted as many people think. Just take a look at the very inspiring cover story in May 2006's SFO Magazine about how Dr. Richard Sandor voluntarily set up the Chicago Climate Exchange to reduce air pollution--quite successfully, I might add. Companies trade...

I owned a Treo 600 and traded with IB's web-based TWS and chartbook.com's free, delayed emini charts. It was far inferior to my usual setup, so I used it only as a backup. Even if IB were to offer a full-featured Java client for the Treo, it would be too hard to execute the fast trades on...

What evidence do you have that supports your claim that our economy is "fragile?" Economic stats from the past few years have been strong across the board, and the recent highs of the major indices refute your claim. Also, there's a lot more than just Social Security to "pay into." I live...

This is the closest-to-the-mark definition of "fear" I've seen so far. It may be of use to distinguish the terms "hope" and "fear" and "positive attitude" from one another. "Fear" is a instinctual and conditioned defensive response to the prospect of pain and typically manifests itself in...

Chopping up your drive into multiple partitions and then accessing them as different drive letters concurrently will reduce the performance of both drive letters because the arm will have to sweep back and forth between the two partitions as you write to both "drives." So, you would only want...

Well, if a software developer were to take on this task, they'd be wise to make the application modular, with plugins for the various types of trading platforms and ASCII input. For instance, I'd like to be able to hook up this app to Ensign Windows' SimBroker for paper trading...

Hi all! I'm looking for some software that'll collect trades (futures, stocks, whatever you feed into it), calculate daily statistics, and then PLOT THE STATISTICS ON DAILY CHARTS. The goal is of course to improve my performance over time (without having to spend tons of time maintaining...

I had the same problem with a particular hard drive. It was a 20GB Western Digital drive rebranded as an Apple drive. Whenever I would try to boot from it (BIOS set to boot ONLY from hard drive, with CD booting disabled), it would still take a few hard resets before it would discover the hard...

Yep, Irvine is pretty boring. A giant planned community and huge "LA suburb." The UCI chicks are "festive" but not too much to look at. If you want young and hip in the OC, you'll have to hit the beach towns. Dana Point has got the surfers. Laguna Beach has the artists. Newport...

Agreed. Come on down to Balboa Peninsula and check out "The Cannery," or Abe Sushi, among many other fantastic eateries. Abe has the best sushi I've found in OC (there's better stuff in LA, like the "Sushi Nazi"--I forget what his restaurant's official name is. That's his Seinfeld-esque...

"The OC" is filmed mostly in Santa Monica, CA, but the outdoor location shots are shot in Newport Beach all the way down to Newport Coast (not as far as Laguna Beach). The hospital at which I work (my day job) was in several backdrop shots of the yacht clubs at Balboa Island (near "The Arches"...

Set the "not the right strategy" and "not enough experience/wisdom" stuff aside for a moment. Instead, look at your underlying psychology. You may be dealing with self-worth issues (no joke, and no offense intended). There are plenty of ways that we self-sabotage, and these are usually tied...

I say no, though a perfect market where there are no inefficiencies at all is mainly an ideal and may exist only for a instant at a time. So, what I'm saying is that when a specific inefficiency disappears, it is highly likely that another inefficiency happens to be appearing elsewhere at the...

Actually, when I first started trading, I *did* make money. I doubled my initial investment in under two years. Looking back, I realize that I did everything right at that time: 1) I studied and studied, reading books on psychology, trading system development/testing/optimization, trading...
