    java applets problem

    It might be that the Java Applet you are trying to run is using deprecated (no longer supported) methods from an older version of Java. I doubt that this would cause the machine to freeze though. Can you post a specific URL here so that I can check it out further? Mike

    Sector breakdowns

    THO-Mike, Here's what I did. I created a Minder (M1) with most of the TAL Chains Indicies ($XXX.CH) and linked it to another Minder (M2). When I click on the chain symbol in (M1), the issues that make up the index appear in (M2). (M2) is ordered on percentage change. I created another...

    Technical issue

    They should be if their server is configured properly. At the very least the errors should be logged in the SMTP server's error log. From your posts, it does sound like they see the error but just can't figure it out. It sounds like a configuration or firewall or routing problem with one of...

    Sector breakdowns

    Thug, I'm currently using the TAL Indexes and corresponding TAL Chains. Although the indecies are a broad view of the sectors, they are not a tight view. Check out this url. It will explain. http://biz.yahoo.com/p/sum_conameu.html Mike

    DSL Telco nightmare

    After dealing with them on a daily basis for years, I could not agree more. This problem will never go away as long as they have a monopoly on the facilities. This is partially why many CLECs have gone out of business. How can they possibly make money (the CLEC) if they have to spend a 100...

    Upgrade Home computer for Trading

    In my opinion - I'm sure you will get others, Win 2000 is the best OS to use right now. I say this because it is more efficient that XP and because no one to date has given me a good argument and supporting statements that proves that XP is better. Win98 is definitely not fit for running...

    Technical issue

    ewp COOL YOUR JETS! I had no idea that the above thread existed. I aslo did not know that the broker was IB. None the less, it still would not change my advise or my opinion. [/B] I don't know how long you have been reading the EliteTrader board, but you will notice that this board is...

    Technical issue

    What is the error message? Tell them to post it here (On EliteTrader). It's starting to sound like they are yanking your chain. If they can't produe a record of the error, then they probably didn't reply. Remember, Most brokers are like insurance companies - they don't give a damm about...

    Technical issue

    You may want to check tour Reply To: field in your mail client setup. I used to put a bunch of crap around my address to keep spammers away. Only problem is that all my friends got really pissed off because they would have to edit my address when they clicked on reply. This might explain why the...

    traders international??

    I saw them at the Expo in NYC. I was very skeptical of them. I've never seen anything positive posted about them. I think there is a word used for their types - snake oil. Check out this post. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4064&perpage=6&pagenumber=5 Mike

    Swapping big (50mb) files

    I don't know kazza, but I know what's going on with the firewall. Assume both ends are firewalled. Typically one end is the server and the other is the client. The client initiates a connection. If his firewall allows the outgoing connection, it will reach the server's firewall. The server's...

    Swapping big (50mb) files

    WinRAR is a good compression program that supports archives of multiple files which size can be set. FTP requires that one of you have an ftp server. Also firewall issues are a common problem. Telnet and ssh are much better for what you are doing but are typically only available under a unix...

    Holy Grail Trading Software

    I'm a relatively new trader. I have a background in software engineering. I recently have been looking into scanner software. (Metastock, Tradestation 2000, Ensign, Wealthlab, AmiBroker and others.) It seems as though every software package is lacking in some respect. Reference this thread by...

    Tradestation 2000i

    Could someone explain the evolution of SuperCharts and Tradestation. I understand that they were both at one time independent software packages that you paid a one time software fee and paid independently for the data source. Is it true that now you can only get Tradestation through Tradestation...
