    I believe you can use a DVI to VGA adaptor (10 dollars) as a temporary solution. Won't get the native resolution though.

    Opening Orders - 2008

    I find the financials to be working great for me lately. No surprise, all the longs have been losers this month but there have only been very few. I just stay clear of the ones with news. Sometimes you can ride these suckers for 10-15 minutes.

    Congratulate me! Or not...

    from my own experience, 2.24 per trade will definitely not cover slippage and commissions. i've done sim modes with scalping strategies where you do everything but send the order and got great results (actually, better than yours). but when i trade it with real money you'll see that slippage and...

    C++ Compilers.

    Thanks for the reply. I'll give them a call on Monday. I rewrote my backtesting platform in C# and tested it on tick data to hopefully simulate what occurs during the day in real-time. It works 5-6 times faster than my VB6 backtester so it seems that it's not a problem with my code, so its most...

    C++ Compilers.

    Update: I decided to try out C# on the weekend. Spent half a day learning enough about C# and the VS IDE to program what I needed to (already had a base in C/C++), then the rest of the weekend porting the code from VB6.0. It was a certainly a nice language to program in. The IDE was great...

    LRP info for stocks

    Not a stock that does 4million+. Take XOM for example. Unless I'm reading that chart incorrectly. And stocks like MS or LEH ($25-50) seem like they'll make more than a 25 cent move in 30 seconds.

    Historical avg daily volume

    Anyone know where I could find something like a list of the most heavily traded stocks from certain time periods? Such as highest volume traded in 2001, 2002, 2003, etc. I like to test strategies on thick stocks but I want to know what symbols may have existed back then (or are thinly traded...

    Tablet PCs with standard Windows?

    Windows XP Tablet is basically the same as XP but with extra features. You can run anything as normal XP would. But yes, you can install normal XP on a tablet pc. There was a problem with my xp tablet installation disks so I had to install regular XP after a harddrive crash. Can't write on it...

    LRP info for stocks

    When exactly do these 30 second intervals occur? At the beginning of the minute? If I wanted to track where these levels are I'd need to know the point of reference. Do all stocks use the same point? Or is it from each individual opening NYSE print? Seems to me like plenty of $50-100 stocks...

    API Automated trading with IB's TWS : ASK/BID freeze - Negative Spread

    Well, I believe the cross is due to a very short momentary lag from one of the ECNs. These crosses only appear for a fraction of a second when you're trading live. Generally they happen a few times a day per highly active stock. I don't believe it's because of any market making. I don't know...

    API Automated trading with IB's TWS : ASK/BID freeze - Negative Spread

    Sell that bid and hit that ask with as many shares as possible! It's an arb! Ok.. maybe not.. My API feed shows negative spreads (crosses) sometimes. At first I thought they were errors, but investigating them further I found that they seemed to happen at R/S levels and it seemed to be...
