    RDRAM v.s. DDR RAM, v.s. SDRAM

    if you're buying new, there would be no reason to buy something other than a P4 with either RDRAM or DDR. That being said, I run an Athlon 850 with 512 SDRAM, 2 Matrox G450 cards to display on 4 monitors, and I get my fills fast. The faster the processor, the more windows you could have...

    RealTick Brokers

    I have Terranova and IB - and I exclusively use IB (unless they go down) - can't beat commissions, and fills are as fast, if not faster. Terranova is my fail safe now, until they figure out no one wants to keep spending $15 to make a trade, plus ecn fees on top of that.

    Greetings from New Jersey

    you might want to just open an account at a professional and/or daytrading firm where you can work part-time until you're ready - and there are more shoulders to look over there.

    Does a dual-processor machine really have advantage?

    Cooltrader i don't think you'll see any difference using dual processors - i run Realtick, IB and a mirc program all on one machine using Windows XP, plus open browser, Microsoft Excel - never bogs down - and I have an Athlon 850 with 512 Ram. As far as multiple machines on a single...

    IB Routing/Quotes

    IB really stinks today - cost me plenty while I placed an order - it stayed blue for like 10-15 seconds, and then went green - of course, the stock wasn't near that price anymore

    Trading based purely off Nasdaq L2.

    DatTrader - how do you like the pointdirex system overall? is it reliable? is the platform designed for scalping? i use IB now - not bad - but not great either. I find their Best execution route to work very well - faster than Arca thru terranova imo. Let me know your thoughts. thx

    IB Improvements (Part 3)

    I went into the IB chat to ask if there was a problem with disconnects after receiving a bulletin - I said I know of others also who get disconnected at the same time - the chat representative asked me who they were - I replied "i don't know them personally, just from a live trading chat room" -...
