    Market Profile Plus by bolter

    Bolter... the value areas represented here are obviously not based on Friday's profile. How far back did you combine your profiles to get these levels? I'm trying to follow your logic. Thanks.

    I get very different numbers using CQG's MP. UVA: 5743.0 POC: 5730.0 LVA: 5717.0 IBR: 5724.5-5696.0 I like the look of your charts. Not sure why are numbers are different. Good work.

    Screen Recorder Software

    SnagIt or Camtasia from TechSmith are by far the best. Camtasia includes editing, webcasting and other capabilities while SnagIt will just save the screen to an AVI. Like gnome says, you need a machine with good horsepower, plenty of RAM and lots of harddrive space.

    Plug a Switch into a Switch

    Yes, you can daisy-chain switches. I like the little Linksys 4 port switch. It does the job well.

    Unmovable files moved

    That is probably your page file and it can be split into segments. I prefer to not have windows manage it. Instead I set it to 1.5x my RAM size and keep it that way. You can force it to just have one block that doesn't move. The benefit is that it will not fragment your drive so much.

    Hardware/CPU needed for X-Trader/X-Trader Pro?

    I agree with what TT is saying. However, since your video card is adequate, I wasn't concerned about it.

    One of the best threads on ET that I have come across. Congrats! I'm curious... why do you feel that the 1264 presented a battleline? I am aware that it was the low on Monday and it was poked slightly on Friday. Is there another reason why you didn't think that it might be penetrated slightly...

    Hardware/CPU needed for X-Trader/X-Trader Pro?

    I can almost assure you that your video cards have nothing to do with this. You may just need to upgrade to a better processor. You won't need to go with dual core or anything fancy. Just get a reasonably fast CPU with at least 3.0 GHz speed. What you are doing is very simple and it shouldn't be...

    Hardware/CPU needed for X-Trader/X-Trader Pro?

    Your CPU seems a bit on the weak side. To find out if you have enough RAM or not, run X-Trader for a while along with all the other programs that you normally run. Pull up the Task Manager. Look at the Performand tab. Under the Physical Memory, look at Available and see how much is left. If this...

    Hardware/CPU needed for X-Trader/X-Trader Pro?

    What are you running? How much RAM? What is the CPU? How old is the machine?

    Hardware/CPU needed for X-Trader/X-Trader Pro?

    Let me know what happens when those links are severed. I use 4 links for my setup and I don't get much as far as spikes on CPU usage.

    Have you been trading profitably for more than a year?

    If 70% are winning, then 30% must be really rich and don't mind losing a lot of money because those are the guys who are paying the 70%. Can that be possible? :) PS: Remember, both the winners and losers pay exchange fees and commish with the winners also paying taxes. So, as always, the real...

    Hardware/CPU needed for X-Trader/X-Trader Pro?

    When you reduced the rows on Market Explorer to 3, all you did was HIDE those rows. What products do you have open in Market Explorer? Are they the same three you mentioned or do you have more? TIBCO/Rendezvous is a program by Intel that is used for non-TTM setups for X-Trader. If you...

    A bird in the hand Is worth two in the Bush

    Jax, Everyone struggles with this aspect of trading. You just need some simple money management rules that forbid you from giving so much back but allow you to continue to go after more opportunities. Since you are already aware of how much you are up while you trade, you need to keep tabs...

    Hardware/CPU needed for X-Trader/X-Trader Pro?

    What are you trading with this? There are professional guys using Autospreaders linked to spreadsheets and are running various other apps on their machine at my clearing firm, but all they have is 2.8GHz single CPU with 1GB RAM. Just like the computer magazines and other sources of "tech...

    Desktop on the floor

    I don't let any machines or wiring sit on the floor. You can either hang them from a bracket sold at several places online or you can just put your machine on a small table on the side. Dust from your rug/carpet as well as all kinds of hair, dead skin, etc all collects on the floor. How much...

    TWS Help

    I had this problem the last time I updated TWS. I don't use Ensign and got the same error. I fixed this by uninstalling JAVA and then deleting it completely from the harddrive. I then reinstalled the latest version of JAVA and everything was fine after that. I didn't read the whole thread...

    Eye Fatigue

    I haven't read the whole thread. My suggestions: Make sure there is no light source behind you or in front of your screens. I use a black background for my desktop and charts. Focus away from your screen and back every few minutes (put a poster behind your screens or something). Take...
