    Dang...what the heck are those apps doing? I hope they are as massively profitable as they are multithreaded <grin>. -eLindy

    Scanners for consolidating patterns

    If you're into using indicators instead, try looking for a low adx condition (14 and below). The larger the number of consecutive bars with a low adx condition, the tighter the coil. -eLindy PS: I know Tradestation with Radarscreen can do this. I'm not sure about TC2000. I also believe...

    Tradestation 7.2 opinion requested

    CondorLL: Tradestation 7.2 is a major improvement over the last few versions and can do a lot of things well. So, instead of telling you what it can do, I'll tell you what it cannot do in the context of your question: In general, while TS 7.2 can automatically place and manage your trades...

    Somebody tried to rip off my IB account and wire money to New Zealand

    Jon: I cannot find the info about the Secure ID program on the IB website. I tried the search tool as well but that didn't work. Can you please post a direct link to the info when you have the time? Thanks. -eLindy

    Help on Colorgraphic Xentera 4 port cards...

    I just got a couple of colorgraphics xentera 4 port cards and I am attempting to install them into a Sony Vaio RS320 computer. I am attempting to install the first one and, unfortunately it has failed. Since the colorgraphics tech support dept only work bankers hours, I figured I'd post my...

    Poll: Your Favorite Guru Who Actually Trades

    You don't have to buy that book. He has 4 other books that are subsets of that book and are cheaper. You can buy one of them and see if you like it. If you do, then you can go get the more expensive book. - The Best of Professional Traders Journal - Market Timing. This includes his first...

    List of Trading Rules!

    Taken from www.hardrightedge.com: Link to full article: http://www.hardrightedge.com/wheel/tcrules1.htm 1. Forget the news, remember the chart. You're not smart enough to know how news will affect price. The chart already knows the news is coming. 2. Buy the first pullback from a new...

    Looking for a recommendation on a tape backup solution...

    Thanks MMM for the recommendation. I've looked at devices like these but they don't quite fit the bill. I can't, for example, easily take one of these and stash them away in a safety deposit box every week (to protect from fire and other disasters). A device that uses tape is still the best...

    Looking for a recommendation on a tape backup solution...

    ArchAngel: Thanks for the suggestion but, given the volume of data that needs to be backed up, the DVD path doesn't work. I would have to sit there and switch out DVDs. If I were backing up only one machine, it would work fine but for multiple machines, it's too much work. OPW: I'll...

    3 Monitors, Big Problem

    The last time I tried this configuration, I couldn't get it to work. According to the Matrox folks, their drivers have a conflict with the nVidia drivers. Maybe there is some way you can clean the nVidia drivers off your system and force the OS to use a generic VGA driver for the nVidia...

    Looking for a recommendation on a tape backup solution...

    I just found out that the vendor of my current tape backup solution went backrupt a few months back (Onstream). As wonderful as the solution is, I can not continue to use a data backup device from a vendor that no longer exists. So, it's time to get a new one. Since I have acquired a number...

    Tradestation to IB automation macro

    hmmm....I don't see any disclosures about any data collection by the software. It's not on Investlabs' website or more important - it's not in their license agreement (the license agreement is in the online PDF manual). If the software is collecting any kind of data and reporting it back...

    Windows XP home to XP pro

    I bought the upgrade version of XP PRO and it upgraded right on top of XP Home (OEM Version that came with a new computer). I thought I was going to have issues since I had heard so many horror stories 'bout XPHome to XPPro. But the upgrade was smooth. -eLindy

    Lots of monitors just to show off?

    Dang...I didn't think anyone looked at these images that closely given the quality... Anyway, you probably can't see it because of the poor quality of the image (filesize restrictions). It's the tradestation orderbar probably barely visible on the lower left screen (at the top of that...

    Lots of monitors just to show off?

    Well, since you asked...here's a pic of something with more than 3 screens. I gotta admit, there's absolutely no need for this extravagance - I could get alone mighty fine with just 1 or 2. But, there's something about having toys....just like someone else said earlier in this thread, you...

    Windows NT and USB on an Old Dell Laptop

    Does the ADSL modem have a network/ethernet port? If so, use that to connect to the ADSL modem. Alternatively, you can purchase a hub/router and connect the ADSL modem to it. Then, you can simply connect an ethernet card from the laptop to the hub/router. You'll need some network expertise...

    Review: Tradestation 7.x

    Fast_Trader: It's not the executions that are slow, it's the quotes that can lag sometimes. Once the order is in, it's probably filled (on average) as fast as at any other on-line broker. But, if you've got a delay in your quotes and you're trying to hit the bid or take the offer, you can...

    Review: Tradestation 7.x

    momo: I tried to be as honest and as objective as I can within the confines of my experience with the package. To address your comments: 1. Yes - you are correct about being able to save more history than tradestation has on it's servers. However, it's not normal operation of the...
