    Why is my speed test so slow?

    "Also make sure Qos packet scheduler is enabled. Needed for cable." How do I do that?

    Why is my speed test so slow?

    Thanks guys...I will give that a try. I used to trade on a t1 line in the office but we switched over to a business cable package several months ago. I figured this would be even better, as it is faster (max 16 down compared to 10 down in the office) and I would be the only one using my...

    Why is my speed test so slow?

    Hi guys, wondering if some of you could help me out with this. I just switched from trading at an office to trading from home, and had a cogeco enterprise business cable line installed in my place. I am paying over $200 a month for it and I am supposed to obtain speeds of up to 16 Mbps down...

    Scalping

    Rereading this post, I noticed you were basing your calculations on a $50k month. A 100 % payout with higher fees is great in that scenerio, but what about when you're pulling out 20-30 k a month? The lower fees overide the higher payout in that case. At this point, I am taking home what most...

    If that was the case we would probably have all left by now and be trading together in a basement somewhere :)

    Scalping

    I don't believe I said I was with either swift or title. I am currently trading with a prop firm, and down the road I might leave for a higher payout. For now, however, I choose to stay with the branch and risk managers that trained me. As long as I am using the company's money to trade, I...

    Best internet connection for scalping- trying to decide between cable and dsl ?

    Thanks to everyone who replied! Gives me a lot to think about . I am going to go with the Cogeco enterprise package for now and if I am unhappy with it, I will look into the fiber or t1. I feel a lot more comfortable knowing that I am already trading on cable and, even though it is annoyingly...

    To the Career Traders...

    It took me about a year to stop losing money, and another year to figure out a game plan that worked for me and become consistent in my results. This is my third year of trading and I am finally taking home what I consider a good salary (although my idea of what good money is has gone up...

    Best internet connection for scalping- trying to decide between cable and dsl ?

    I used that speak easy test today several times. Even here it hasn't been over 8000 down and about 500 up. I did the test about 100 times now and it is usually around 5000 down 400 up.

    Best internet connection for scalping- trying to decide between cable and dsl ?

    Well after talking to my bm today, I found out that we are no longer using a t1 at the office after all. Apparently we are trading on a business cable package now. That would explain my rather slow and fluctuating speed test results (the highest i had today was about 8000 kbps down and 488 up )...

    Best internet connection for scalping- trying to decide between cable and dsl ?

    "Bottom line: If you can trade, either one is good. I've had both. One or the other isn't going to make you a winner or loser (looser for 50% of ETers.)" Trading isn't an issue, but I know from experience how much harder it is to trade my strategy when the quotes are behind or the fills are...

    Best internet connection for scalping- trying to decide between cable and dsl ?

    Thanks everyone! Although I am even more confused now lol :) I am going to be renting a place right downtown in Belleville. I won't actually see it though until I move out there so I can't do a ping test until then and would like to get my net set up so I can start trading out there right...

    Best internet connection for scalping- trying to decide between cable and dsl ?

    Hi there, I am hoping some of you might be able to help me with this as I am not techy at all myself ! I am currently trading from a prop firm in BC and will be moving out to Ontario Canada (Belleville) in a few months and trading from home. I believe we trade on a T1 line or ptp line...
