Your conclusion would be correct if fan usage was based consistently accross laptops and only on heat production. I'm no techy, but based on what I have read the temps. where fans are engaged is controlled in the bios and if the laptops settings are such that the temp. for engaging the fan is...

I purchased and am happy with a Dell 6000 when they were running one of the $700 off $1500 deals. I'll just mention some of the choices I made, though your priorities may be different: -good battery life, 4hrs plus, on a 9 cell Dell -Pentium M (Centrino) processor. you'll see P4s...

Will do. Thanks.

Thank Jerry. Any plans to include an import function for ASCII type data?

Hi, I downloaded QT today and haven't been able to find anything in the help section regarding importing ASQII tick data or data from Excell into the program for charting. Is it possible to use import data from ASCII files or to cut and paste from excell? Thanks!

"ONE - What Exchanges have you used floor brokers with??" Upstairs, Thanks for the response. I had direct lines to floor brokers in the CME and CBOT Bond, S&P, and currency pits. I also occasionally used some on the NY and international futures exchanges, but mostly in Chicago when open...

Upstairs, I've used floor brokers extensively on other exchanges, but not on the NYSE. How did you find and choose your floor broker, and once you did, how were commissions determined? Thanks and good luck.

Depends on what you need. Two years worth of data down to 1 minute bars can be found fairly easily, e.g., with tradestation. Unfortunately providers like tradestation and esig provide only limited tic data, maybe 10-30 days back depending on the provider. TickData provides the cleanest and...

Hi all, OPW generously helped me out with my first request, which allowed me to narrow down the time frame of the trades I need to look at for GOOG on 12/22/04. Does anyone know where I can get time and sales or tic data for the first 2 minutes of trading for GOOG on this date (9:30am till...

Got it! Thanks OPW!

Hi, I'm looking for the first hour of time and sales or even just 1 min bars HLC for the first hour of trading on Google for 12/22/2004. Need to check something out and my data does not go back that far. Text or spreadsheet files would be fine. Thanks to anyone that might be able to help or...

IBSoft, What will be the source for backfilled data? Will it include all tics (or snapshops) and corrections from exchanges? Thanks.

The annotations on your chart, both the text and the break even lines, suggest you should not be trading yet. Pain is however a good teacher.

Thanks Maestro. Makes sense. Are the items petaining to an underlying (sentiment, recommended option positions, news, repairs, etc.) grouped amoung adjacent screens in some standard fashion? Also, how is the trader alerted to change focus, for example if initial anaysis suggests a profitable...

That's probably the case, but I was refering to the ability of a trader to effectively process a high volume of disparate data from many sources versus that of a CPU to do so and bring it to the traders attention when some threshold is met, whether it be simple data feeds or analysis. By the...

Hi Maestro, I've used ten monitors in the past, so I don't see any reason why someone could not plug twice as many; they make some pretty big power strips these days. I'm not sure I understand why you set things up this way though. (mine were dedicated lines, and back then we could not...

A couple of questions for members that are familiar with the pit trades S&P contracts: Futures Contracts: 1. what size is typically on the bid and offer in the full size contract? 2. how do you typically enter orders for the full size futures contract and how long does it take to...

I'm no expert on calendars, but I suspect you will lose your entire investment if you purchase OTM Jan04 puts today.

First, brokers don't make you stand by all clerical errors. If you miscalculate your account equity or your position to the detriment of your account, they don't change your equity and position to reflect your miscalculations. Second, if your broker corrects and stands by the error, you will...

Is anyone aware of a platform that shows the size before/in front of orders at the same price? For example, if ESM is 1130.00 bid and 1130.25 ask, 1000 X 1000 and I am working to sell on the offer, most platforms quote total size dynamically, but are there any that can also show the number...
