Stock index futures are superior in every way for a trader compared to forex.

That could equally be seen as a double top.

The OP didn't say "buy and hold" tomorrow - he said big rally tomorrow which looks likely. Profit from it instead of sulking about it.

I'm sorry but you sound like a total idiot. Qualifications only count for anything immediately after you get them. After that it's experience that matters. Who would employ a loser who can only manage to get a job as a Tesco shelf-filler? You don't have the experience to get the job you're...

Dell is the McDonalds of the computer world. If you want quality and upgradeability you can get better and cheaper elsewhere. I'm upgrading my hard drive set up to a 2 x 320GB RAID0 set up. Having data steaming into your PC 24 hours a day will cause hard drive issues but these should be kept to...

If you look at the 3 minute charts you will see a Loch Ness Monster pattern = bullish = buy now (pay later). Come on!

It's all working fine for me - even using a bracket order with YM in BookTrader. And the icons look much better - even the little blue book for BookTrader!

Open a command prompt and type "netstat -n" Make sure your broker's platform is the only Internet program open on your computer.

Personally I'm talking about upgrading my Core2Duo system to support 4 monitors. I liked your 2 x 7600GS suggestion but I also see ATI Radeon X1950 TURBO SILENT for not much more expensive. Gnome, I don't need to stoop to $20 ebay cards but thanks for the suggestion :D .

Thanks. I was thinking I may as well go for two 7900 cards which are not much more expensive.

Well if you stop getting yourself all wound up and just think about it with a cool head you'll see that you're wrong. You can get a higher quality, lower cost, no noise, no heat issues video display with a SLI set-up. Do you really think a SLI set-up is going to have problems running 2D...

Matrox can't do anything that SLI can't do. So what if it's "for business"? That just means it's overpriced and can't run the latest games. The "for business" thing is just a marketing scam to sell an overpriced and inferior product.

The cheaper and better option for people with a SLI or CrossFire compatible motherboard wanting to run more than 2 monitors seems to be to fit two NVIDIA or ATI graphics cards. Matrox seems a total rip-off in comparison.

I've briefly tried it out and other than the fact that it looks quite pretty I can't see any obvious benefits. I suspect that in spite of Microsoft's claims that this is the most secure Windows ever, there will be a deluge of security issues before a service pack (or two) finally makes it...

The data source is more important than the software. After a few weeks trying out trading software you can use with IB data I have to say it's a complete false economy and am back to my old friend esignal.

From now on my new trading strategy is to follow your calls!

Oh noes! It's down to 12549 and thanks to you I'm making a 1 tick loss you fool!

Is it possible to send orders to IB from Excel without using their example spreadsheet TwsDde.xls?

Spend a weekend learning the basics of Excel VBA (buy a book like Excel VBA in easy steps) and that sort of thing is simple to achieve.

...except maybe Russian roulette where there is always a winner. The one who goes second has the edge - does that make him a trader?
