    Its really hard to tell from your post which side of the issue you stand on, could you make your biases more clear?

    Greece....how can they...

    LOL, dangerous huh? "That's right Iceman, I am dangerous" Maybe it was a one-off but it shows a real lack of sensitivity when your country is on the brink of bankruptcy, unemployment is rampant and you are concerned about your yearly vacation. Point taken though, I'm sure you can find...

    Greece....how can they...

    I know this is strictly anecdotal but they were doing interviews of Greek citizens and they asked this one woman what she thought of the austerity measures and she complained they can't lower the salaries to the point where an average family cannot.... and this is where I thought she was going...

    I'm running ESXi 5.0 and my ping time from one VM to another on the same vlan is less than .25ms, not sure if that is what you meant by same HW or not:

    Chevy Volt a lemon for GM. Current administration makes sour lemonade.

    Free charging at work - that is sweet. With your limited distance commute you can probably skip charging at home most times and just charge at work.

    Chevy Volt a lemon for GM. Current administration makes sour lemonade.

    As far as I can tell, Chevy has had the lease option for $350/month since 2010: http://gm-volt.com/2010/12/15/chevrolet-volt-lease-terms/ http://money.cnn.com/2010/07/27/autos/volt_price/index.htm I thought you were talking about this new program that offers the same monthly lease cost...

    Scalping ES - how many ticks?

    The answer to the original question is one tick. Anything else is answering a question that wasn't asked.

    No one can be this stupid/obtuse. The guy has got to be trolling.

    Scalping ES - how many ticks?

    How can you trade futures and not grasp the simple concept that you are charged each time you make a trade and not a "round trip" charge when you open the position. Have you never had a buy and sell on a different day? Take a look at your trade confirmation, you are being charged $1.76 per...

    Scalping ES - how many ticks?

    You pay the commission when you make each trade, buy and sell, you do not get charged one time for both trades. If you go long today and close out the position tomorrow are you saying that you get charged both commissions today and no commissions for tomorrow's trade? I don't think so...

    For God sakes, at least learn how to truncate those excessive decimal places. It makes it look even more ridiculous then it already is.

    Scalping ES - how many ticks?

    Funny thread. tenthousandmen, instead of asking a cryptic question like what do you need to break even (leading to meta-discussions about costs other than commissions, like utilities, etc) why didn't you just ask what people are paying in commissions and you can do the math yourself 1 tick...

    Should I replace or renovate my computer?

    Six years old? Replace it You can keep the case and the new hard drive if you want but if you're not going to rebuild it yourself I would just start clean with a whole new computer. Use the recently purchased hard drive as backup or secondary drive.

    I haven't seen any evidence that its any better than a random system, I wouldn't follow it or bet against it. If he had gone long instead of short on the recent trades he would be sitting on big unrealized gains right now and would be singing its praises. It trades too infrequently and...

    POFVF has been above and below SPX - do you have any strategy on exiting your short position or are you just hoping that Iran blocks the Strait of Hormuz so you can get back to BE?
