    Need To Add 5th, 6th Monitors

    Perhaps you should think about another CPU with a dual monitor setup to do your other tasks and projects. Too many activities in too many different apps on a 5-6 monitor setup would likely result in overwhelming your operating system. I realize you were not asking this, but it may be worth...

    How Do You Feel About This Site and It's Accuracy???

    I bought the Dave Landry swing trading book through that site. Then, I got a phone call to get his video at a discount of $50 or something. I agreed since I liked the book. Now I still get periodic emails and phone calls asking me to join the site for the hundreds per month or whatever it is...

    Sucker plays

    - goes for singles, not homeruns - exits positions without even thinking about it when they don't go my way - doesn't trade just for the sake of trading - does not take positions if they don't fully meet my criteria - does not get attached to the stocks I trade so it will be easier to close...

    Rapid Fire Swing Trading and other Ebooks

    I found the "ebook" you are talking about by searching Google. It is actually a PDF file that is $49.95 (but $39.95 if you order in the next 10 minutes!) Granted, it's not expensive, but I can't imagine there's anything in there you wouldn't find in some of the better threads on this site...

    Dow options system

    What about if you could somehow get a statistical basis for what happens the next day in the Dow based on movement in the last hour of the previous day? Aren't stocks very likely to move in same direction to start the next day based on whether they close very near their high or low the...

    Real-Time Alerts software

    Thanks for posting the website link. It gave me some good ideas. I actually write my own software (for my own use -- no competition so don't worry) and have been thinking a lot lately about realtime alerts so I hope to implement some of the ones you have exposed. How did you come up with...

    Stocks and Ranges

    good idea! next time i'll charge $10 for each spreadsheet view and only post the top 25 to make it seem more scientific. that site looks quite hokey, not to mention that a bunch of the images show up as red x's from being broken.

    Good data vendors with API

    I use the MyTrack DLL as a realtime feed and have been quite successful with creating a C#.NET fully featured app. They have an OCX version, a DLL version, and a Java API version of their product. There are also brokerage functions as MyTrack is a brokerage company (I do not use these...

    Help... question re: ATI Radeon install w/Win 2k

    This may not be especially helpful, but I too have an ATI Radeon dual monitor (did you get it from DELL?) card and it works fine under W2K with both monitors, so at least you know it's possible for it to work. Try searching Google and the Microsoft knowledgebase to see what others have done...
