    LCD Monitor Buying Help Needed

    You guys have me completely sold on the 191T and other Samsung "T" models. Has anybody ever had a bad pixel fresh out of the box on a Samsung LCD? Are they height adjustable with the stock stands, and wall mountable if one desires?

    TS backtesting issue

    interesting. so can neoticker perform tick for tick and bid/ask backtesting for .. say .. two years of history? If you've tried this, how well does it address the multi symbol testing issues I mentioned earlier? do they have their own feed, or do you link up with a secondary data...

    TS backtesting issue

    Very VERY interesting. It begs the question, if it's easy enough for a customer to write a DLL to accomplish multi-chart communication, what the heck is TS doing with their time? If I'm going to stick with TS, maybe I should get the developer kit and learn how to write DLLs. I downloaded...

    TS backtesting issue

    Well, I can completely commisserate with your experience. TS is my first charting application, and from the initial research I did when I chose it, it looked like the best beginners option. The major appeal was that it's a one-stop solution. When I was first starting out I didn't want to go...

    TS backtesting issue

    Here's what it comes down to, for any backtest where signals are taken from one symbol and executed on another, TS can't give you more than 1 minute resolution. This doesn't only apply to my example above, it applies just the same to simple things like penetration of a trailing stop...

    Lots of monitors just to show off?

    that's awesome. i just discovered transparent windows in an IRC app called trillian. i'd never seen them before, and now that i've used them, i'm surprised transparency isn't an option in the view dropdown on all windows apps. it's so useful, it should be standard for everything.

    TS backtesting issue

    TS backtesters, Over several months with TS, I have run into a persistant limitation in my backtesting. In many cases, I want to run a strategy that takes signals off one symbol (data2) and execute on another symbol (data1). When you have a strategy that would normally execute next bar...

    Hardware upgrade

    Hey, thanks a ton for the replies. I went through the "build your own" options on the top models at the dell, hp, compaq and ibm sites today. I'm embarrassed to admit that I'm somewhat daunted by all the options. Doing this right is a major research project since it's looking like the...

    Any Helicopter Pilots?

    All I have to say is if you have the skill and saavy to commute by chopper ... and have it pay for itself ... you are the f#*king man. Like the jetsons. I'll be so thrilled when I can get my wimpy electric balsa rc in the air. I've crashed four so far, lol.

    AUTOMATION tools for IB

    I've just started looking into Tradebolt to automate TS into IB. One concern, if anyone knows, does Tradebolt send your trades somewhere over the internet besides locally to TWS? ie, will someone be logging and watching my trades?
