    Oanda - Add Your SCAM SCREENS Here

    Whoever took those screenshots might profit from enabling pipette display on the platform as all trading is done with pipettes included whether they are shown or not.

    Best external USB hard drive ?

    If you're really after reliability WD just came out with a RAID 1 (mirroring) box. For more capacity check any of the NAS boxes from Thecus etc, all with RAID.

    How to blackmail government for market plunge bailout

    Pakistan, where you can retire early with $4,175. If only they didn't want to blow everything up... Karachi actually has some nice ocean frontage. Guess it makes you want to blow things up when you can't enjoy a nice cool beer at sunset. Well they have nobody to blame except themselves.

    Oanda - Add Your SCAM SCREENS Here

    Years ago the market got 80-120 pip spikes every now and then. If someone needs big money right now 100 pips is nothing. With big money it can be more profitable to hit all asks at once instead of trying to play it in the open and see the asks jacked way up. I wonder why the assumption of...

    MSFT dropping like a stone.

    People don't like Vista. MS would have had a goldmine in releasing an updated XP. Instead they came out with Vista, which has major incompatibilities with older software, even XP generation. So now what people do, they rather stay with XP, and 'slipstream' updated XP installation disks...

    Dell Support... Nice New Deal On Drivers

    Your T3400 has probably also been offered with XP. The case of driver options gone missing has hit at least some XPS models which have never been offered with XP. Dell removed the possibility to select XP driver download even if they do have the drivers! But finding them without the menu options...

    Dell Support... Nice New Deal On Drivers

    Umm, it's been like this for months at least. Very nice, but not so nice is that they removed XP driver support from computers which have not been sold with XP as factory option, even though Dell has such drivers. I wonder if they're setting up for making money from selling XP downgrades with...

    Acronis Trueimage can't help...any other idea?

    Which Windows is this? rmdir /s directoryname does not help? Are you the owner of the dir and files, right click on folder, properties, security tab, is your username and administrator listed there with full control permissions? And in here, click advanced and check the 'replace permission...

    Oanda - Add Your SCAM SCREENS Here

    Oanda is your market maker, the price action might be valid due to local orders, closing orders when they're positioned the wrong way (gamblers and long term positionals). Like another poster said, don't complain but profit from it.

    different ram cards with different speeds

    That is correct. Also in order to take advantage of the dual channel design, memory modules must be matching in capacity in paired memory banks (usually color coded on the motherboard). Thus the original poster might have the worst case scenario of slower speed and non-matching memory modules in...

    WTF - Fortis, RBC, Barclays, GS - all calling for a FINANCIAL MELTDOWN!!!!

    You can say goodbye to undervaluation after earnings start falling. Consumer goods might still get a lift on Q2 from the tax rebate checks but Q3 will come. Meanwhile the peak of ARMS will only explode in Q1-Q2 2009. And that's only the peak. This is a slow motion train wreck. Seemingly slow...

    Has the fed lost control?

    They shouldn't have begun cutting in the first place. Sept 2007 was when the seeds of destruction were sown. EU will try to keep a reasonable anti-inflationary monetary policy (=raise rates) which will make dollar look even more unattractive. Fed all talk, no action. If this continues markets...

    IB: US stocks with european style options?

    Icahn reportedly sold a zillion YHOO puts, european style. How can this be done at IB? I've seen hints that this is possible, but haven't found out how.

    Trader commits suicide

    Google: Results 1 - 100 of about 23,300 for "suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem". (0.38 seconds) It's very sad that the quiet one never gets a chance for peer advice or counceling. There's so much more to life than the little hole one is dug in.

    IB: SSF settlement?

    Are SSF's settled in the underlying stock or cash on expiry? Do I have a choice? Couldn't find the answer on IB web site. If there are any gotchas in SSF's please tell before I make my first trade :) ... or should I just stay with plain stocks.

    Best 1920x1200 resolution laptop???

    Some Dell models like Inspiron 1721 have builtin RAID, running a RAID 1 mirror might save your trading if one of your drives dies. Or get the 32 or 64 GB solid state drive. Integrated graphics is good enough for trading and general business apps. Dell UXGA/WUXGA screens are great.

    WTF is it going to to take to get the security device from IB?????

    I just received a support email from Dell yesterday. Together with the answer there was a link one could click and rate the rep's helpfulness and quality of the answer. IB could seriously use something similar. I'm not an IB customer but was inquiring about becoming one and after 3 emails all...
