I did the work-through-college thing at SLO Town (Cal Poly), got hired by a Fortune 50 company, and worked for the next 15 years as a Systems Support Engineer. During that time, I made a few small investments (50-100 shares) in my company's best customers here in Silicon Valley. As my...

To your first question, yes, but be careful. First, use a quality power strip, surge suppressor, or PDU (power distribution unit). You can have the best UPS in the world, but its effectiveness is compromised by a cheap ($10) power strip--the weakest link. Inexpensive power strips can have bad...

Back to your original question: If you're asking whether you should use one 19" or multiple 18", the answer is the latter, hands down. In fact, two 17" would be better than one 19"--much more viewing area and flexibility. I have two Dell 1702FP digital 17" flat panels and would love a...

Thanks for your encouragement. It appears that the vast majority of comments at ET are in favor of IB. As a beginning trader, I think the per-share commission schedule is the WTG. If the comments on lightning-fast executions hold true 95% of the time, I'd still think it's a good package...

What's going on? I'm just about to sign up, but now.......

A smiley face for death and destruction? Oh, that's right, we'll make money. Now I get it. Peace

I was initially inclined to think that the number of posts represented trading experience. I then found that one person with 2000+ posts had never even made a real trade before. Makes you go 'woah...'. Since 'Chit-chat' was probably created to shoot the bull and act as the "other", or...

An excerpt from Trader's World: "... you need high quality monitors. Your eyes are worth every bit of money you can afford. The monitors should also be digital, if at all possible. We have found digital monitors to be worth the extra money. The screens are sharper, clearer and less subject...

I read about the Herman-Miller chair before in an e-Signal publication. Seems like the 'Cadillac', an $800 one. Check out the SwingSeat for ~ $400, delivered: http://www.swingseat.com/index.html, and an article about the chair in 'TradersWorld'...

I chose Dell over Gateway for quality, support, and longevity reasons. My Dell Precision 340 uses Rambus PC800 ECC RAM and Seagate drives. It's a very well-built system is and easy to access and work on. The key service differentiator is Dell's Gold Tech Support. ~$100 uplift for 3 years...

You're the man! Thanks once again. PS: WTF is steve.larson on? Or not on what he should be on?:confused:

Would someone who has IB TWS integrated with QuoteTracker please post a reply with a screenshot of your setup so I can get an idea of what it looks like? Also, does the integration limit TWS functionality (views, order types, stock list tabs, links, etc.), or perhaps does it enhance it...

I use a couple of trading rooms at PalTalk. One thing I notice, as I monitor the Task Manager window, is that CPU usage intermittently oscillates between normal (0-10%) and 100%--pegged. This ONLY happens when logged onto PalTalk. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. - It doesn't...

RS7 (Rally Sport?), you said it for me. Regressive taxes (VAT) hurt the vast majority. Bush's tax cut plan helps the wealthy, the vast minority. What does this tell you about Pres. Shrub? Ask Europeans, Canadians, Aussies, et al, what they think of VAT. :mad:

Hi Alan: Sorry to hear about your CPU issue. Someone mentioned trying each card separately to isolate the problem. This is called half-splitting and is a good approach. I also have heard that the video card should be in the highest PCI slot number/position (1 being highest). That would...

generosity, good customer service, and dedication were long gone. Then along came Jerry Medved and Co. with their QuoteTracker. Being a neophyte, I can't tell you how much I appreciate this FREE software. Seeing charts in action is great preparation for the real thing. I could have spent...
