You can certainly debate whether various anti-virus program consume too many resources or otherwise "efff up" your PC but the idea that they give you a virus is ludicrous.

I don't think IB gives L2 free no matter how many trades you do (at least I didnt see it on their fees page) I didnt think that MB charged for L2 at all but I just checked their web page (https://www.mbtrading.com/fees_software.asp) and according to that its "FREE with a $25,000 balance or if...

Another thing that wasn't pointed out in previous MB vs IB comparison threads is that MB gives you free level 2 quotes, IB does not (an extra $20 a month I believe). Something to consider if that matters to you. Also with MB you can have your unused cash swept into an MM account earning...

Any secure connection is going to go down when you failover ISP's because your IP address changes. If the existing connection to your broker didn't go down during a failover then its time to find a new broker. TCP does not have mechanism to allow the source IP address to change in the...

Two hardware failures? Wow you have terrible luck or lots of power spikes. Were they on UPS's? Since a PC has moving parts (fans and drives) and is much more complex it only follows that it is much more likely that a PC will fail then a more simple device like a typical SOHO router which...

The odds of having the computer fail is much higher then a hardware router IMO so if you are really concerned about single points of failure then you wouldn't go with this setup. Having a cheap backup router (doesnt have to be dual-wan) would be one way to mitigate the router as a single...

If you have no programming experience then the hurdle for you to contruct a complex program is enormous. Unless you really want to learn programming anyway, I would not venture down this path, I think you will find it frustrating and will not yield the desired results. I have a BS in CS...

I think looking at cost on strictly on $ per square inch or per pixel is fundamentally flawed. Using that reasoning I'm sure that a bunch of 15 or 17" lcd's is going to end up as the "best value". Of course that totally ignores the cost of all the video cards you are going to need to...

My turn to toot Aaron's horn Up another 3.5% this past month, up 22.6% year to date. Way to go Aaron!

I'm going to have to disagree, 1k of RAM is definitely not enough - I would recommend at least 1GB. :D And don't forget to buy a good sized UPS so you don't have your connection crash if the power hiccups.

Then why do you lack the confidence to trade your own 40k that you have saved?

Go start a system on collective2.com. If you're as good as you say then you'll soon have people paying to subscribe to your system (risk free income for you) and you'll also generate a documented track record.

Holy crap, registered 2001 and just now making your second post?!? You are the man!

I think you completely missed my point, I'm not questioning the people that PM'd you. I'm wondering if this will encourage other people to make up stories about their hard-luck (lie) in order to entice other would-be mentors to PM them with offers of trading help. That would be sad. Also...

IMO you shouldn't have even posted this much. All it does it is encourage other people to invent hard-luck stories to try to pry some reluctant mentors out of the ET woodwork. Maybe I'm just cynical though.

If its spam its the best case of a "sleeper cell" that I've ever seen. Look at booker007's registration date, over 4 years ago.

As I recall there are different options for safe mode, one is safe mode with networking but the default may not have any networking (thus no internet) so it is normal, nothing to be concerned with. The whole point of safe mode is to fix the configuration issue (whatever you changed that...
