    So I am trying to understand the benefits of this configuration. If I were to run my trading software under a Virtual Machine inside Linux, don't I give up the benefits of running Linux? My problem is that over time, the Windows system becomes more and more slower and unstable; Ninjatrader would...

For example, if you want to go short based on your daily, wait for a short signal on the 5 min chart; don't take any longs during that entire day. Exiting your position based on the 5 min move is OK.

    Thousands of French Households Taxed Over 100%

    It is unthinkable to have taxes over 100%, even for the French. As per the article, maximum tax is 50%. "households could take advantage of a "tax shield" introduced by Sarkozy to cap an individual's overall taxation at 50 percent of their income."

    $500+ a day trading index futures, possible?

    I just don't understand the fascination with index futures. The S&P emini were great to trade 10-20 years ago, but not any more; unless you like the constant back and fill. My recommendation is to look at the other futures contracts and skip the index futures.
