    Spreading Displays across 3 or 4 Monitors

    I have 2 computers running multiple monitors with Windows 2000. One computer uses 4 separate cards (1 AGP + 3 PCI), the other uses a Matrox AGP G450 (dual monitor) + 2 PCI video cards. All cards run at 1600x1200 and 85hz except the Matrox G450 which runs at the equivalent of 1600x1200 @ 75hz...

    eMini S&P Chat or call sites?

    I was wondering about LBR's room too. I peeked in on Dec 3rd and I'll withhold judgement because both the Nasdaq 100 futures and S&P's had such low range. After peeking in on her room for the day my goal is now to become a decent enough futures trader that I can start a chat room and have...

    The Segway

    Interesting. That kills my theory on lighter models. Its nice to have such high wattage individuals hanging around these parts. :) I wonder if the motor(s) are any more efficient or torquey than whats been used in the past with bicycles.

    The Segway

    Let's not forget that its the 1st generation for this product. Within the next five years the price and weight of the Segway should come down. I'm guessing that the gyroscope needs to be of a certain weight based on the size of the person its balancing. It may be possible to have lighter...

    The Segway

    Yep, 15 mph = a 4 minute mile pace. Not acheivable or sustainable for any significant distance by (at least) 99.5% of the population.

    CBOE rolling out 2.5s????

    The fall was very fast. Peak to virtually -0- in less than a year. They were exposed to the hype machine daily and either never lost faith or were ignorant of how to protect themselves.

    ENE-thoughts

    ENE should have some interesting action today since they're getting booted from the S&P500. The index funds have to exit their positions at the end of the day (Thur Nov 29th) so its less likely (I'm guessing) to be halted today. Their business it kaput and there is no way to pay all the notes...

    FutureWise Trading Group

    I e-mailed him again and after he replied I got his permission to post it here. He took the time to answer all of my questions without prior knowledge that I would later seek to post his answers. --- Question: --- Here http://www.impulsiveprofits.com/futurewise/faq.htm you/your firm...

    FutureWise Trading Group

    You can e-mail or call him directly (248) 596-9600 and get a reply quicker than I can get it and post it here (I think they have an 800 # for customers). I did search http://www.nfa.futures.org/basic/search.asp for Snively and his firm and found no complaints listed. Of course thats not...

    FutureWise Trading Group

    I e-mailed Todd Snively with a few questions and got a reply back a couple of hours later which answered all questions I asked (some concerning redundency after the IB Nov 19th fiasco). Although they use a unique platform which is in beta testing (I guess the browser version is past beta) I may...

    Globex Problems?

    I did the instant messenger thing with IB this evening from their web page. They acknowledged that globex executed my NQ cover order at a profit and so when I finally got them to execute on the phone it made me long instead of flat. The rep said this would be corrected with Tuesday evening...

    IB lagging and stuck quotes for ES

    IB is for gamblers only. After I get my filled and unfilled NQ order straightened out I will be moving my account. Unbelievable. I'd expect even a ragtag outfit to be able to call somewhere and get my trade executed. They were down for OVER 2 HOURS and I could not get any order executed thru...

    eFloorTrade vs. IB?

    This thread would go nicely in the futures section. Not enough action there.

    Recommend a Broker with Patsystems

    Shouldn't this thread be in the futures section? It could use the volume.

    Globex Problems?

    IB was/is a real stinker on this one. After waiting on hold for about 10 minutes to get through to the $30/trade order desk they tell me that not even -they- can place a trade for me! I'm short the NQ and have a stop loss order and a cover order in when their globex order connection goes down...

    Audio of stock futures pits

    michaelday I listened to him them yesterday (realtimefutures) and noticed the same thing (that he lags the e-mini). Of course one day is not long enough to make a judgement and yesterdays range was tight most of the day with volume on the low side as well. I'll give them another listen...

    Audio of stock futures pits

    OK, well I guess I've at least narrowed it down to two services for starters. Both www.realtimefutures.com and http://los.net/ offer free trial periods of 2-3 days. Hopefully I can decide which I prefer in that period of time. Now I'm debating on whether or not to run the trial periods...
