The spread order can be input through Globex and is available to any platform that can handle it. It is not necessary to use TT. TT simply takes advantage of what is already there. Yes, it is always easier to get filled in a thinner market. That is logical. If you only have 30 on the bid and...

The machine is a Dimension 4600... I am not sure if a CPU can be upgraded without replacing the motherboard. It has gotten to the point now where it runs at 80% or so and gets choked up. Will check into what the motherboard can handle. Probably time for an upgrade, but it doesn't make sense to...

Are you saying that you have to lift the offer every time (market order)? You can most definitely get filled on a bid in the ES. You just have to remember that it is a liquid product and is the monster future index product of the world. If you want to get filled early at a price, you need...

LOL

Interesting thread. So much misinformation though. It is important to read the CME rulebook section that pertains to your issue. The fact is, if you trade the ES, then you are on a price and then time priority. Period... there is no cutting in line or exceptions. There is no conspiracy...

I guess what I'm trying to do is simply upgrade the processing power of the machine without having to go out and pay for a new OS, new video cards, etc. I would like to move up to an E6600 processor without actually buying a full package like Dell or others offer. Furthermore, I don't want to...

1 AGP and 4 PCI... all dual head nVidia's. The system won't need any high-end graphics, so I would like to stick with these VGA cards because they have performed so well.

Hi folks, It has been a while since I have bought new equipment for my office. I am in the market for a new box that would run my CQG charting software. CQG is very processor intensive when computing studies, etc. The system will be running 8 LCD displays. I have plenty of keyboards, mice...

If you think the book is worthwhile and your friend plans to trade, then I strongly urge you to ask him to buy it (new or used). The cost of the book is irrelevant compared to the risk of trading and the karmic consequence of stealing it is not worth having. If you like what you have read, then...

Hi Whistler, Thanks so much for sharing your findings. Although I probably don't trade or focus on the YM as much as you do, I want to thank you for letting me know what your experience has been. I will start plotting the 24 hr volume levels to watch and see. Even though I'm a member of the...

Hi there, I use MP quite heavily and in everyday trading. I can probably get VA's as far back as you need them. I use CQG (the original MP chart provider for Pete Steidlemeyer) and can provide either TPO or volume VA's. To try to answer some of your questions, using volume based vs. TPO...

Can you provide a specific stock example using Friday's closing prices to show what you are trying to do? I have been writing calls lately against stock I own to generate premium and to get out of a portion of the stock if I get assigned. I'm very interested in the strategies you are...

250 per month or 600 per quarter

I agree. The service is top notch. Great guys to deal with too.

Load coils are used to extend the clarity on a phone line. They are there for better phone service for people who have a very long distance from the nearest CO, DSLAM or other point on the network. It is old-school technology but it is widespread and is what can kill having DSL as a service even...

It seems like you are going overkill on the RAM. It is not expensive, but I would say that you would hardly use more than 2gb. A couple of things to watch for as resource hogs is Skype. If you are talking to someone, it just eats up a lot of CPU cycles. Also, I prefer trading over DSL more...

Get help! Your habit speaks of some underlying issue there which will eventually come out in your trading if you get big enough to throw some size around. I feel for you. I'm also concerned about a shop that is obviously not watchful of the kinds of traders playing with their capital. I wish...

You must know by now that we are all connected. We might not have options as far as what we can do about other governments when we see signs of trouble. However, it is important to raise awareness of the events. It is like watching the whole Castro revolution and then the ensuing rafts and tires...

This is very true. It is just a fact of the global economy right now. What do you do about that? Do you own gold? Commodities? Or are you like everyone else who is currently paying a mortgage and sales taxes. You sound like someone who is trading a craft for a craft and has given up on using...
