Baron, really appreciate this site, so thanks first. I also prefer the old home page style, but I think this may largely be due to the new layout - in particular the column width you've set for the message thread title. It's so narrow, any reasonably descriptive title ends up spread over 3 or...

Vinigar / Tony Oz Interested about the calculator - went to download it and got "Sorry, but you can not use the mailto script from: http://www.stockjunkie.com/ozcalc.htm This mailto script is only available to sites hosted with EarthLink Network, Inc. Call 1-800-511-2044 or visit...

Roger 2 - better books I recommend R Tharp's "Trade your way to financial freedom" and Elder's "Trading for a living a living". Both are very good on the mental/psychology side of things (this is not the holy grail (hah) of the perfect entry and how to interpret block trades, but maybe...

Dual installed Win2000 after getting fed up with WinME getting progressively worse. Win2000 is much better - Gordo - make sure you check the Windows Update for critical patches etc (if you haven't already). I t really should be very stable :)

"said it might not be compatible with java version blah blah blah, ".... hah, Microsoft bastards........ I had heard that XP does not come with any Java support already. Don't worry, they're just being a bunch of spoilt little children. You can install Java for free from the Sun site. The reason...

Go with Wondows2000 - it's reliable and has been sorted out. Xp on the other hand is new, so is bound to have the usual new windows product problems. I haven't had any problems finding drivers for Win2000 also due to it's 'age'. I would also highly recommend a dual install if your hard...

Greetings from Bangkok, Thailand.................... well, it's tits up over here aswell. Was working fine, then my quotes stopped updating. Quicken Quotes Live were fine. This is with Win2000 and DSL. Exited everything, tried to log in and got that login in progress window flashing up...

MS Windows updates - in WinME (soon to be updated, thank god) go to start menu, control panel and in there there's a section for automatic updates. Launch it, and choose to manually update. Voila, maybe... coops

I see that Appian offer a card that can drive 4 monitors off one slot - anyone have any experience with this model (and Win2k)?? I looked at their site, could only see two video connections out back of the card and some semi cryptic comments about 4 monitors being 'possible'. thanks coops

I use prophet java beta charts now, for intraday history (and my records of stocks i traded). You can get down to 1min charts a long time back - i think 20 days is the max. They're making improvements - the standard java only allows one indicator pane for instance. I searched this site re...

i use zonealarm free - very good indeed - no compatability probs at all. I use quicken quotes live, IB, medved quotetracker plus others, no problems. As you start these programs each time after installation of zonealarm it will ask you if you want to allow it access to the internet, and can opt...

Once your transmitted order goes green in IB, then you wait for specialist to do his thing. With market orders especially, there may be some delay while the specialist waits for an order to match you with - eg if you put in a market order to sell, there may be a delay before you are filled at a...

Make sure you fill in the W8-BEN forms, available at http://www.irs.gov/cgi/websys_fmanage these will hopefully get you out of withholding tax. If you're a brit should be no problems, but i've heard you lucky US citizens have to pay tax on income earned anywhere in the world even if you're...

I agree, IB order entry is pretty good, how about : you can set default when hitting bid or ask to be a market order or a limit. How about, default is click left mouse (let's say Limit), then if you had wanted to choose Market instead, allow pressing CTRL-Lft mouse click for instance {IB...

Actually, this is the entire point - I will happily subscribe to Nextrend etc (soon as I decide between them and QQL.. have used QT too). These data and charting providers have the ability to allow placing your order thru a 'partner' broker. As a result you get quote vendors who have hopefully...

I've also decided to concentrate on NYSE stocks - currently looking at 3 stocks trying to get the feel for movements. Nasdaq doesn't apply for me, because of the fills etc. Large size on NYSE is easier (not that i'm doing large size yet, mind). Maybe the term 'Scalping' has misled some...

aha, also got a reply from Nextrend about the port. Changed it in the settings and logs on fine, hurray. Guess I'll have to spend a few hours over the weekend looking at this system now.... my 10 sec preview, looks similair workspace style to Quicken Quotes Live.... anyone used QQL and...

Ib should also get in partnership with Nextrend, esignal etc. Maybe for futures or options the IB TWS might have some advantages (??) but otherwise for stock trading, why reinvent the wheel? IB gives you level 1 data, but you can't even get a Time and Sales window, never mind charting. It's...

thanks for the replies, will ask my ISP re different ports etc - i'm sure it's my end where the problem is, just thought maybe anyone had a DSl issue aswell... (ps, no free DSL over here, I can tell you...... if you want to use cable which is now available there's even a charge per 100Mb...

tom_p, i also am using ME - fine to start with, then started playing up in good old windows fashion. Reinstalled ME from the CAB files, and it's ok. Would like to go to 2000, but from what I read, you CANNOT upgrade from ME to 2000 (you can from win98 or 95 ...chuckle chuckle). Would need to...
