    Norton Antivirus and Norton Personal Firewall question

    Most routers either come with, or can be flashed (updated), with firewalls. This will mask the ip addresses behind them so that only the router uses the IP address with your DSL/broadband provider which can be seen out on the internet. In combination with the Zone Alarm freeware (available on...

    Stop loss %

    I don't have the answer but I wanted to give you props for an excellent topic for a thread. I have this issue constantly trading the Emini S&P. Part of the problem seems to relate to noise surrounding support/resistance points. Apparently, enough people set stops around these price levels and...

    Opposite of covered calls?

    When you sell a covered option (call or put) you will guarantee income from the premium versus the possibility of a large capital gain. However, the only way to hedge your underlying position regardless of market movement is to buy an opposing option. So, while there is no such thing as a free...

    daytrading

    To get around the PDT crap, you could look at trading currencies or commodities (eminis). I don't think it matters what you trade, its how. #1) Discipline (risk management, sticking to fundamental system rules) Dont bet the farm on any given trade, get out of losers quickly and hold onto...

    What will tommorrow bring?

    I feel sub 9000 before month's end. There has been no real correction to the Spring rally, yet - I expect late May levels to be the ultimate support @ 8750. There is the double top present, there is the no real economic support for this type of recovery speed. I'm with Vision on this one...

    eliminate the financial market?

    Extreme groups always take issues and fit them into their agenda without regards to whole spectrum of possibilities which surround the issue. An 18 year old killing themselves in a pitched battle to save their fellow soldiers is an example of an act of bravery which could be taken out of...

    Hit by IB (and SEC)

    I second the motion --- these laws lag so far behind the situation. By the time the PDT crap came out they should have been legistlating the accounting bs that tore up the market a few weeks after... :confused:

    Huge danger of not knowing CME cancelled your trade

    The CME needs to put in a real time circuit breaker which is tied to the pit and monitored. No one should be put in a position where his/her position is reversed after the fact by an arbitrary rule when a solution could, in fact, be addressed in real time. You are also very correct that the...

    IB does it again

    I'll agree that IB is not 100% perfect but there is no guarantee that other online brokers are not having similar (or worse) issues. The laws of probabilities just have these IB posts show up more on a forum like this one because many of us use IB and many of us do trade a high number of...

    IB disconnected many times

    IB has gone down several times in the past 2 trading days (Friday and Monday). Anyone who is logged onto the chat here at ET knows that it isn't just an isolated individual using a subpar connection. Let's be honest -- they are having an issue or 2 this month but I still think that they...

    Why trade at all?

    I have my frickin MBA and nobody paid me $200,000 Let me tell you -- @ 40 years old I'd rather scratch my nuts in front of these monitors, taking the couple of points on the ES each day instead of being in the "which ass do I wanna kiss today" corporate world. And my Fortune 500 b.s. company...

    Floppy formatting question...

    :cool: :cool: For ~$20 you get 32mb of memory that is so fast, so portable, so convenient. A good CDRW purchased online are only $45. BTW, what is a floppy disk? an antique? Holds a 1.4 megabyte load of data :D LMAO. Yeah, reformatting will destroy the table tells the disk where...

    How many trading days do we get on the Eminis?

    Hey Duck, I too am new to the ES trading game and concur that this week was difficult. My problems go back to Friday but that was not because of the lack of a trend which is what we have seen over the past few days. I was set to go short regardless of what my indicators were saying - too...

    I am guessing the monitor must be a few years old not to offer dual capabilities. Most LCDs out there now have analog compatibility if you don't wish to switch cards immediately. This is just smart marketing on their side.
