Effective within the last few days the e-mini data requires a $10/month CME exchange fee in order to get it realtime. There were a couple of emails sent by QC earlier in the month about it but they were easy to overlook or mistake as junk mail.

fast - interesting feedback on Dell. All of the machines I've bought from them did work properly out of the box. Goes to show they can still slip up sometimes though. Should have told them to either have someone at your site the next day to fix the installation, or give you a refund for...

Eldredge - QQL is probably just looking at the external IP address in the IP packets when doing it's validation. QCharts must read and include the machine's local IP address as part of its login message to the server. I'm behind a NAT router and can't login to QCharts on two different...

Doug - in your case, the old adage applies - "Better to keep you mouth shut and let people think you stupid, rather than open it and prove them right." That much nonsensical blathering must come either from a shill or someone incapable of carrying on an intelligent discussion (maybe both)...

qwik - a quick thought when/if you compare boxes - be sure to compare apples and apples when comparing the components. Example - PC133 memory is very cheap but also a lot slower than PC800 memory. So be sure you're comparing not just memory size but also memory type/speed. Same with disk...

Doug - The Dell recommendation has nothing to do with their ads and everything to do with having architected and deployed large scale systems using over a thousand desktops and servers for clients using Dell, Compaq, HP, Gateway, various custom box builders, etc. at one time or another and I...

They're similar in concept to point and figure charts. Check here: http://www.equis.com/free/taaz/3linebreak.html

qwiktrade - I'd suggest starting with the Dell box of your choice (I've always had great results with Dell) - get their 3yr on-site service plan (you can get on-site installation too if you need it). The trade off between CPU, memory, disk speed/capacity is based on your particular needs...

FYI - there is now a $10/month CME exchange fee for the e-minis.

green_lantern - alerts based on what kind of criteria - just price above/below X (which most any quote system can do) or more complex alerts? A couple general examples would help narrow your possible choices of alert software.

green_lantern - what timeframe are the MAs (i.e., daily, 5 minute, etc.) you want to use?

I think Schaeffer's volatility bands are different from what Haggerty is talking about - Schaeffer uses an offset above and below the 20 day moving average and Haggerty is doing X standard deviations from the previous close. And it seems that the Schaeffer published scans are actually a day...

I believe Haggerty is less concerned with the option implied volatility and more concerned with the actual volatility of the stock (usually short term). You can then use the short term historical volatility to compute upper and lower price bands. The presumption being that depending on how...

Here's a snip from a trading guide that does a pretty good job discussing basic concepts of support/resistance: II.6 Understanding Support and Resistance What technical analysis calls support and resistance is actually the result of a confluence of buying and selling at a specific price...

How many stocks at one time are you trying to get realtime alerts based on the MAs?

That "major cachingo" phrase sounds vaguely Waxie-ish - you're not a disciple are you? Don't think I've heard anyone use that phrase except for him, a drunk surfer ("Hey dude, this bar bill is major cachingo"), and a guy at Goldman who thought he was Joe "I'm hip" Studley (and later faced...

Magna and mjt - I don't think your experience is limited to just UT. At one time or another I tried out maybe a half dozen "for fee" chat rooms figuring that even one good idea a month could be worth the cost. Problem was that everyone I tried turned out to be very similar to your...

As I believe someone alluded to earlier, W98 (and I believe Wme) uses a fairly primative memory manager which is little better than the old W3.1 days to maintain backward compatibility with vendor software that the vendor's never bothered to update. Aside from the obvious limitation that the...

Don't you have a wireless hub? My wireless LAN simply has a wireless hub plugged into my 100 MB switch. The Inet router is also connected to the 100 MB switch so effectively it's one big single LAN that just has some devices that use wireless media vs. wired media.

Yeah you can get 1600x1200 LCD display resolution, but you're going to be around $3K/each - and you may have to step up to a 19-20" LCD since most 17" LCDs max at 1280x1024. Eizo has a 19" 1600x1200 LCD that costs about $3200 Silicon Graphics used to have a real cool hi-res digital LCD...
