    64 vit vs 32 bit

    Thanks for the help. I am looking into the PAE stuff. The main worry that I had was scalability going forward, and taking advantage of all of the RAM. Thanks for the input.

    How much should one make to prove himself a good daytrader?

    All this talk about % return in a year seems so artificial to me. With all the various forms of leverage out there, Return Vs risk seems much better. The idea that strategies can just just be scaled up indefinitely, or to whatever the market allows have never been there. Personal...

    what's the benefit of prop vs retail?

    I go to an office... but I'm the only one there. Because rent is less than I would have to pay to get a T1 run to my home. When I traded around people I used ear plugs. If you need an office to be disciplined, you probably still won't be disciplined enough.

    "condor" and "Butterly" eurodollar trades

    definitely profitable with professional pricing. To make a half a tick on one fly/condor, you need to trade 8 cars. Do the math with commissions if that would be profitable for you.

    "sequentially" trading different systems

    I would try to get them all running as soon as possible. but if you only could pick why not try to predict profitability? could the systems be serial correlated with themselves? ie large up days are usually followed by more large up days. There might be some way to predict which has the best...

    Morning Preparation

    I must respectfully disagree. Some of my best days have been hung over days. to each there own. Sometimes slower reflexes aid my trading But the comment about not coming in with a new sytem in your mind to trade the old system, is very true.

    fastest news feed / website?

    There are some "sqwack box" type services that will sit there and read the data to you as soon as it comes out. less than bloom or rueters. It might be called "Rand sqwack"? Still a couple hundred a month.

    *** My Trading Plan ***

    Sorry I didn't get here earlier. You don't want to hear this, but 120,000 is no where near enought to trade 100 lots. No matter what your clearing firm might say. I know people with 10x that that won't directionaly scalp e-minis with 100 lots. While steady progress is good, teh market...
