$100+ Million net worth from trading....in an entire career...possible, but super hard....almost impossible:p I actually think, for me anyhow, one of the most difficult things about it would be liquidity walls. Most of the successful strategies that I have seen and use are rather illiquid...

Thanks psy...that looks interesting. Problem for me is that my trading is discretionairy...i have tried but can't really get it distilled into a system that could be auto executed. Also, i tend to trade micro caps mostly. So i don't know if porfolio123 would work for me....sounds more like you...

Just wondered if anyone out there knows of or uses a decent stand alone or non-broker portfolio analytics product? My broker right now (TD Waterhouse Canada) sucks for this sort of thing...and most everything else come to think of it:p I am in the process of switching over to IB. Not sure...

That really sucks, it sounds though like they are mostly interested in reporting consistency for the retail trader. But a few of those comments about "frequency", "period of ownership", and "time spent" are a bit of a concern. :confused: That would be so crappy to have to report gains as...

Thanks dcraig...good to know. I will probably go with the NVS280 then :) Cheers

I was curious if there is a difference in quality for dual head cards that actually have two heads versus the one's that use a Y-cable? I am considering the PNY quadro nvs 280, and was curious if it is as good as some of the other cards that actually have two heads like the Matrox G550? Heh...

26 yrs old....Vancouver, BC :) Great city, but damn does it rain a lot here .... Been trading full-time (Retail from home) for about 1.5yrs now. Mostly position trading micro cap US equity (NYSE, AMEX, NASD). Average holding for loser probably <1week for winners between 2mths and 4mths. I...

Thanks again all for the help...sorry if my post subject has been beaten to death on the forums:p I just read through another thread and got some good answers there...i just wanted to clear up for myself about the DVI vs Analog....from what i was reading on...

Thanks for the tips everyone. Yeah, for me cost is still a pretty big factor, but I am not really a tech guy...so i can't actually build my own PC if i buy all the components seperately :( I will check out newegg...that sounded like a super sweet deal, especially for 1.5yrs ago:D I will...

Bumping this thread... Anyone heard of: www.digitaltigers.com ? I am looking to setup a 6 monitor system. Will i be better off going dual core or just a high end Intel/AMD single core chip to run 6 monitors? Other option was for me to run 4 monitors from one PC and then 2 monitors from a...

Ok, thanks Jerry...i will check out your website in better detail for the EOD stuff. What has been your experience with IQfeed? Any other's that have tried out IQfeed? I am considering using them for the futures, so I may as well get the stocks from them as well...since the US equity...

Thanks Jerry...would i need to get prophet or IQfeed for longer term historical data on the US stocks? Like say going back 10+ years daily? Sorry for the possibly dumb questions...i have never really used a backfill type service before...always just used prophet and all their stuff is web based...

Really, just one register will cover 2 computers with QT? That is great Jerry...i will take a closer look at QT. From what I can tell...QT needs to be backfilled, is that right? So that if i have IB as broker with free feed, i would still need prophet data feed or IQfeed, etc to get backfill on QT?

I have also checked CQG...they look fantastic...but ouch, i guess you get what you pay for. Still i can't afford $600/mth :( I am looking for a super reliable feed and would pay up to around $100/mth...for just the feed alone. If there is something for cheaper that is obviously better, or if...

I am wondering what data feeds people are using and what is the best. I am in the process of switching feed and software provider, using prophet.net right now. They are cheap and decent, but not great. And get this....they don't really support multiple monitors! Apparently they are telling me...

Thanks for the links Psy and BDG... i will check them out :D

By above market risk....is that also to imply (i suppose obviously) above market return? Any articles on his funds, or the new one where they talk a bit more about the strategies? Or not becuase they are making money and super secretive? Cheers and thanks for clearification on Medallion not...

Quote from Maverick74: For those of you that read the Trader Monthly article or the one in Active Trader, the articles weren't so much about him, but rather about the fallacy of historical performance as it relates to determining the risk of an individual trader or fund. I find this area of...

100Billion capacity....that is very large indeed. Do you guys know if the 100B fund is equity or what asset class? Anyone know what sort of strategies the Renaissance Meridian fund uses? I have heard/read that it is mostly HFT (high frequency trading) stuff...and from the sounds of a couple...

Whoa...you trade 10Mil regularly in Forex? I was going to suggest NQ or ES...good volume there too...volatility is decent, but better on NQ than ES...obviously i guess :p Very good leverage available as well...not the very high level sof Forex...but around 10:1 and 20:1 (intraday).
