Oh I see. One good thing about Tradesation is, its historical data goes back many years, so you can pull up an intraday chart on ESU04, for instance, and download data into spreadsheet to do number crunching is you are so inclinced.

Tradestation is free w/ only 10 rt/month, easily done in one day. So regardless what transaction platform you use, it is always good to have, IMV. What's insufficient about X_Trader's charting? I have been thinking of migrating to it just to get X_Studies (MP mainly).

then you will find fibonacci perfect--always a ratio or a MA of ratio that act as support/resistance....

What's so special about the movie, other than that it is about M&A and Wall Street?

Because Tiger's coaches do not claim to be the greatest golfers...

lol, thanks for the hint. It's so true--are you agreeing with my change of user error, uh excuse me, user behavior part? Personally, I feel the temptation all the time, "just this one time..." Or maybe someone in your house didn't know better and used your trading PC for something it is not...

Well, as I said, I will not use it to visit yahoo or anywhere else for any purpose, except to go to my brokers' sites to download trading apps. What will be the likelihood that it will be infiltrated? Of course, if my brokers sites are infected, then we are all f'cked. Edit: I ask these...

Thanks FA. I still wonder though, after reading the links you provided, how a trojan gets into your PC in the first place. Hence my original questions. Would a spammer just send out trojans randomly into the internet nebula hoping that some will make contact and stick for his evil intent...

Shall we step back to square one to get a sense of risk? What is the likelihood or probability that a new PC with XP or Vista (plus most up to date SP), with just trading apps downloaded from IB or other well-known brokers installed, will be hacked or hijacked? That PC is on DSL or cable...

That's what I plan to do--stay with XP. Do want bloated OS that I don't need.

Thanks for all the responses--very helpful.

Point taken. My bad. Perhaps better to say that, with core 2 duo, you have potentially one processor at 1.8ghz dedicated to each application if I am just running two trading apps? Do apps have to be coded to take advantage of the core 2 duo processor? The reason I ask is, a while back...

That's what I was trying to get at. You cannot just pick out one big tree and not to mention the the woods. Not to sneer at 25% annualized return of AFL, but if every stock in her portfolio can have that kind of return, that will be something remarkable.

What is the anualized return of her portfoliio over those 27 years?

THanks kiwi trader. So the core 2 duo processor has algorithm to split apps between its duo processors intelligently?

Pentium D has higher clock speed (2.6 ghz and up) and much cheaper whereas Core 2 Dual has lower clock speed (1.8 ghz and up) but more expensive. From my limited understanding, core 2 duo is true duo processor chip, so you have 2 x 1.8 ghz (theoretically) processor power. I intend to run...

I thought you were here to discuss the traits that contribute to successful trading (regardless of the merit of T sense or what it is), but now you are way off the track. At least stay on topic with a zen-like mindset if you have conviction in your belief. If you are talking about...

Is your Netgear switch the kind that plugs into the electric outlet, using in-house electricity wire? I've got a pair and they work beautifully and you can simply plug and connect. Sometimes I plug one in a room wher wireless signal is not very strong and voila, I am connected. One concern...

Anyone who used the brokers' platforms mentioned above: do they have other mkt statistics such as $TICK, mkt breadths (adv/decl issues) etc, or are they purely futures trading platforms with just DOM/Ladder, MP and some charts on contracts? TIA.

GC, Enjoyed reading your posts here and in the other thread on scalping QM. If you want fast action, ER2 is the place to be among the indices contracts. But each has to find something he is comfortable with. A similar mini contract (in terms of tick size, contract value and...
