I think it's logical, ...men still run things and they like to hire cute girls :)

I usually build my own systems, but thinking about trying one from here next; http://www.tradingcomputers.com/TCdesktop.html

Good question! The approach I've found best is to cache in memory a certain amount of data and periodically based on time or the amount push chunks out to disk appending to a file. When requests come from the client application and more than what's currently in cache is required, read the...

a) Right-click "My Computer" -> Properties -> Advanced -> Performance -> Settings -> "Adjust for Best Performance" (or similar if on Vista) b) Settings-> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services find everything that says "Started" and Stop & Disable most of the crap, especially...

...and thankfully I don't either! We're here to talk about trading, if you have something to offer more than an opinion (we all have a hole) then put it on the table, otherwise don't waste space...that's been My motto, hence not many nonsense posts, bar this one! :) And I can't see, though...

...and don't get too "high" on yourself, I remember the first day Barron put this site online and PM'd me in #daytraders to check it out with an invitation to join and I did

Arthur, my mind whirls and from time to time My stomach heaves...no help needed :)

It really does not matter whether or not you have asked the question in another thread, I answered it in this one and a database is "nothing more" than a flat file for those who do not know and/or understand how do use threads and critical sections to implement concurrent store and fetch trade...

hire a consultant who knows trading computers to fix it for you, not the GeekSquad, lol

I notice it too, a lot fewer traders is My take

This BP debacle and the incomprehensible lack of an intelligence is "killing Me"...what they should have done (imo) is give $10M to every college engineering department in the country, with a race to the finish line for capping the Well and give the winner a $100M prize! The damages to...

Instinct coupled with a good plan, revisit and modify the plan when needed and as additional information becomes available.

The original question reminds me a lot of old times in the mid and late 1990's when people asked the best way to learn how to trade and the answer was start with "paper trading", then work your way up to putting a couple thousand in a live trading account "plan on losing it all" as the price of...

ummm...Patriotic Lawmakers, can those two words go together in the same sentence? :)

With the proper tools (technology), mentoring and a solid plan for success...I'd imagine that 15% number to be much smaller...yes it's the trader's fault, not the "status quo" vision and mindset of their Leadership team, lol :)

If you're going to learn a language (and you'll have to one way or the other) you may as well start learning VB.NET vs. Trade Station Easy Language or another from some other vendor...then goto http://www.google.com/codesearch and grab what you need!

"The Big D"...you and I think a lot alike :)
