I would still question whether what the OP really needs is a hardware solution (versus a traditional multi-boot software solution) but assuming that he did, I think removable trays are the way to go - they are easy to install, cheap and allow an unlimited number of different boot drives (limited...

MBT also offers a C++ API (http://sdk.mbtrading.com/). You may also want to consider the (free) trademagic framework which gives you the ability to code to a generic API that supports multiple brokers/data providers (including IB) : http://www.trademagic.net/web/

No, another way to find out is to backtest it. I have taken mechanical systems that lose and reversed the rules and still ended up with a system that loses. Example: System with a 6 pt target and 3 pt stop, for a given entry point this system can be a loser both long and short (think 4 pt...

Amazon appears to have it for sale: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1578072301/102-1705296-5620969?v=glance Here's the link to the transcript: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/transcripts/2704stockmarket.html

Echoing what others have said, I would stream it to a binary file and then (off-hours) bulk-import into SQL which tends to be a much more efficient operation then many single row insert operations.

Oh ok, where I work (which isnt financial related), we maintain the routers and 3rd parties have to terminate their P2P T1's directly into our routers so we dont end up with banks of small single-interface routers to deal-with/maintain. In the situation you describe, who troubleshoots a...

FuturesTrader71, in this kind of configuration (P2P directly to broker), does the broker typically charge any setup or recurring monthly fees for the hardware on their end (presumably this will tie up a router WAN interface on their side unless we are talking about a PVC into a frame relay...

One thing that you may not realize is that the DSL speed you can get is very distant dependent. If you are close to the CO (telephone central office) then you might be able to get 6Mb downstream (or more - depends on the provider), if you are far out you may only to be 384Kb downstream...

What speed DSL & cable is available for your location? Naming the specific DSL and cable providers would be helpful too - they are not all equal. Depending on your requirements you may want to get both and get a dual-WAN router so that in case of an outage of either you wont be SOL. There...

I don't know why anyone would stash gold in case of armageddon. Who would accept gold in such a situation? To me food, water, medicine and most importantly weapons will be what matters. Maybe your definition of armageddon is different from mine though. Google TEOTWAWKI for more info.

I believe programs like PartionMagic come with boot managers (BootMagic) that can do what you want (mark the other disk's partition as hidden) but frankly it seems like overkill - I guess it depends how "invisible" you want it, the only way to make it 100% invisible is a switch that electrically...

I read one of the threads this morning, the readers digest version is that it was posted by someone claiming to represent GHCO ("GHCO Partners" was the alias) and said that they would be closing their doors as of July 1st. I'm against censorship on these boards as much as anyone but those...

I dont know if this applies but when I first starting using MBT's navigator it wasnt readily apparent to me : you can have as many Level2 windows open at the same time as you want, and each has their own order entry at the bottom, ready to hit whenever you want. Don't know if that helps you.

MB Trading just closes everything down for the weekends. Its a little disconcerting. I found out the hard way : One time I had a future position on a friday and had placed a limit order to close it but couldnt actively monitor it. Later on, after the market was closed (past MBT's...

Aren't we all? http://home.flash.net/~hesler/picks.htm http://www.tradingsolutions.com/ http://www.alyuda.com/ On the software side I think you are going to find that most packages require you to select the inputs to the neural net and once you know that (what inputs are correlated with...

True. Microsoft is squarely focused on making money, when customers started demanding better security Microsoft started throwing more effort at it but not something that can be changed overnight especially when the product was not designed from the bottom up with security in mind. And how...

I'll admit I do not understand what you are doing and it doesn't make sense to me. With options you can vary the strike price and expiration date to create unique straddle positions but I don't see how that can be applied to Forex trading. Can you give a concrete example of an actual...

Hmmm, I don't think "realistic" and "worst-case scenario" are incompatible terms. For instance I don't think the NDX can go to zero or more importantly if it does I don't think it will matter how much money you have in your brokerage account as the only valid currency will be weapons and...

Right, I understand and I'm not disagreeing with you or trying to be sarcastic (I hope it didnt come across that way). As you said, stops aren't foolproof, so what is a realistic worst-case scenario that one should use to make sure that they don't blow out their account for different trading...

Once you eliminate stops as a safety net what do you consider the maximum risk exposure of say, 1 NQ contract? Its not going to zero so I assume all would agree its less than $20 x NDX but what is a reasonable worst case scenario to assume?
