    Sounds like he goes horizontal, not sure if he does it alone or with his GF

    Market Monk

    LOL, I do remember reading somewhere in the blog that he actually gets flat for economic news releases so its isnt literally true that he is in the market the whole day

    Data Recovery

    You are the 3rd person to suggest this in this thread and I never understood why he resisted this easy solution - I also pointed out that writing to a damaged drive (such as doing an OS reinstall) is not a good idea if you care about the missing files. I don't want to be harsh but I don't...

    Selling systems I developed to hedge fund

    Why would institutions wait until someone comes forth with a system before they attempt to combine their existing systems & adjust rules to produce the best possible system? It sounds like the person who brings forth the system to beat doesn't add any value to the process other than motivating...

    Data Recovery

    Hmmm, even with that knowledge I'm still having trouble parsing this "can i look at the old m/c drive contents by creating a network rather than ripping my new m/c open and installing fubar drives? " If you are asking if you can read the failed/failing drive in an external drive enclosure...

    Sorry but I really dont understand. What is "m/c"?

    Data Recovery

    Ugh, that may not be a good sign. Not sure what you mean by the old m/c but I would not try to do anything with that hard drive except read from it if you are really concerned about the data. Depending on what's wrong with it its possible that trying to reinstall XP on it may permanently...

    Data Recovery

    If you can get to a C prompt and you only want to save a few small files you may just want to copy them to floppy disk from the C: prompt (assuming the system in question has a floppy drive)

    Data Recovery

    If you care about the data on the drive the safest thing this is to install a fresh copy of XP on a new (different) hard drive and then attach the failed hard drive as secondary/non-bootable drive on that system (alternately if you have a second PC you can just mvoe the failed drive to that PC...

    Outlook to Outlok 2003 Migration

    Just to clarify, are you migrating from a different version of Outlook (or Outlook express) or are you migrating from an Outlook 2003 installation? Also are you running XP on the new machine? If this is a same-version of Outlook migration and you are running XP you might want to check...

    PC Magazine's review of AV softwre: http://www.pcmag.com/category2/0,1738,4796,00.asp I have used both Norton and McAfee personally and professionally. Samson77, which one are you using now?

    Congratulation Bob Bright ....

    Then it is either the case that the system had objective components or the traders simply ignored the rules that they were given. My point remains that trading and athletics are not analogous. You can be taught to trade well, there is no amount of training that would allow most of us to...

    A pattern does not a system make.

    Congratulation Bob Bright ....

    Athletics and trading are not that similar. If BB uses a non-discretionary mechanical system then there is no reason why such a system cannot be taught and replicated by other Bright traders (which is the point stock777 was trying to make I believe). Tiger, on the other hand, could try to...

    Securing your trading workstation

    Windows is not that inheritely insecure its just that so many people who don't understand basic security concepts happen to be Windows users and its the biggest target for malware authors (because its a big ripe target). Like you said, just do the basics: hardware firewall, anti-virus...
