I knew someone here would have experience with it! What was the problem exactly? Poor performance or just flat out didn't work? Was it the failover or what?

I'm trying to get a bead on this too...I posted alot in that other thread. As far as the failover on the nexlands, the one complaint I heard with any level of detail involved DNS caching problems. It's not particularly exotic, but it might be extremely easy to get around, or simply fix by doing...

hehe, that's from http://www.oddtodd.com You should also read about his experiences with the unemployment office as a result of adding a tip jar to his web site. Priceless. http://www.oddtodd.com/dept5.html

Yes. You could have two NICs and Win2K (or that MidPoint software) would allow you to load-balance across them and fall-back to one if the other failed. Works great for a single PC, won't work if you have several and aren't interested in routing every other PC on your network through your...

The MidPoint software isn't really all that different than the other solution that someone mentioned about having two nics in an NT box...it's software routing. In fact, win2k already provides alot of the same services, I think the MidPoint stuff just makes it more user-friendly from what I can...

Looked into this thing...it's not really similar to the Nexland I mentioned. It might work in an office, but not for a home LAN. Reason being is that each one of these is a different gateway. So, you can only point each computer at a single gateway, meaning, each computer can only use one of the...

Yes, you can do this with NT, in the way you specified, if it's the only device you want to give internet access to. Trouble is, I have at least 12 at last count... As an alternative to the hardware router, you could take an old box, put NT/Linux/FreeBSD on it and three NICs, and do the...

Maybe there's more to mookie's technique than you realize: http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/science/07/31/dogs.reut/index.html :p

Even if Win2k seems to handle it fine, a clean install lets you also clean out your registry, check the disks for errors, etc. You'll probably end up spending more time chasing weirdness than you would have to just reinstall the software anyway.

Defiantely a great site...one of the best I've ever run across. If only have of the web could be this useful. :)

Forgot to mention that. But if you've got 4 different quote streams going, plus your trading client, most of your bandwidth is spread across several connections. This is *exactly* what a router like this is good at load-balancing. Plus the redundancy factor. But it's true. It won't speed...

another thing...T-1 is the most reliable single choice, supposedly. T-1's have been around since 1957, so it's old technology, and the connection between you and the ISP is basically all yours. There are no distance issues (quality of a DSL connection decreases by distance from the CO) and the...

What do you use to connect them?

Another alternative is to use both. Cable or DSL both go for around $50/month here. I'm considering getting both for redundancy and routing purposes, and getting a router that load-balances between them (and as a consequence, handles failures transparently). The router I'm looking, nexland 800...

Use regedit to change the following key in the registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\CompletionChar Change the value to 9, restart the cmd window and try it out! :)

What about an ATR-based stop? Seems like when the market is more volatile, like Friday morning, the ATR was around 4...a > 4 point stop (say 4.5) seemed like a decent indicator of failure, but otherwise it's just noise. Later in the day, when the volume was negligible and the ATR was around 2, a...

Regardless whether the stops are native or not, if it's a stop-limit and not a straight stop, you risk not getting filled in a fast market. Stops turn into market orders, stop-limits turn into limits, and I've missed about 8 billion limit orders the last few days with the volume on the NQs...

I don't think IB has native GLOBEX stops yet...they said they are working on them alst time I checked, so that means no, your stop wouldn't have been executed if IB couldn't connect to GLOBEX.

Supposedly there was a problem with GLOBEX's systems around 11 am. It hit me pretty hard. If it was a GLOBEX problem, I don't think I could have hedged myself with another broker, had I had one. I'd also like to hear if non-IB traders got fills at that time (around 10:40am).

Just saw this on InPlay...
