No, but I sure wish I did receive them. Any idea how to get on their coupon mailing list? I've probably bought 8-10 machines from them in the last 3 years. -Eric

richtrader, Thanks for the thoughtful post. Dell is having a laptop special now, anyway ($400 off the one I wanted), but your coupon saved an additional $50. Seems like this is the second time I've used one of your coupons. Thanks again! -Eric

3-4 ms is "a little slow"?? Compared with WHOM?? LOL -Eric

I think this would be an excellent idea. In addition to being helpful to newbies on the site (who haven't yet determined the flamers from the quality posters) it might also tend to help reduce some of the nasty posts that are often made here on ET. -Eric

TrendFader: So, by your definition, does ET have <i>any</i> good vendors? Also, on a lighter note. Since you are seeking to mentor vendors on how to improve their businesses, can you provide a track record of how you have helped other vendors with your assistance? Audited would be nice...

It's both amusing and sad the way these arguments go on ET. "Post results, audited results, we want to see performance numbers... blah, blah, blah." You hear these comments time and again... Then, when someone <i>does</i> answer their critics by posting their numbers (botter screenshots...

Seems like a solid consensus against hyperthreading, confirming what my I thought I had seen (reduced performance). Anyone know off-hand how to disable hyperthreading, and whether a reboot is required to make the change take affect? Edit: I just did some Google'ing, and it appears that the...

I have several dual processor trading machines that I use on a daily basis. This past weekend, I switched the trading on several of my accounts from an older server (that had hyperthreading turned off) to a newer and faster server (that had hyperthreading activated). My early indications are...

Excellent point, and a pertinent post. Suffice it to say that while a 9 year old might be able to create that sort of a screen shot, I can say for certain that I could not, LOL. However, clearly people are able to do these sorts of things, and screenshots cannot necessarily be assumed to be...

I appreciate your comment, and I probably flew off the handle a bit with my post. I do agree that healthy skepticism is a very good thing to have on ET and that more than just a few folks on ET tend to inflate their results/abilities. I guess my BS meter never really generated an alert with...

Brokerboy, OK, let's see. First you post this, implying that Diamondtrim is a liar, and doesn't make but maybe $200 per day . Then, he posts his monthly report for May (upon request), indicating $50k+ for May. And now that's not good enough for you. You have to post this reply...

I think the best solution depends upon what stage of your trading career you are in. As a relatively new trader, you must live well beneath your means, building your capital and your 'cushion' for futures living expenses during future drawdowns in your trading. As your level of capital...

Congrats! It looks like you are off to a great start. -Eric

ric, You may want to take a look at the following "Consistently Profitable Daytraders" thread: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=45222&highlight=DD Many have posted their expected and actual results on that thread. I target and typically achieve about ~7% per...

I don't trade NYSE, but I know that they have 3 different routes to NYSE, each (I believe) with all the features including NX, etc. Again, I'm not an NYSE trader, so hopefully, someone else (Dustin?) can give you more detailed information. -Eric

I call them as I see them. Some months ago, a trader was talking crap about how Genesis' NYSE performance sucks. Now, I can't personally comment on it, since I never trade NYSE stocks. However, I know that Dustin (a well respected ET poster with no axe to grind) trades exclusively NYSE and...

I've about given up on even addressing the issue. Those talking crap about Genesis invariably are those that own an office of a competing firm. And certainly, they are almost 100% of the time traders that have never traded at Genesis or used their software. Among those that have used their...

Locking the market simply means to make the inside bid and inside ask price the same. For example, assume that the market is 20.11 on the bid and 20.12 on the ask (one quote on the ask, 200 shares on ARCA). If you want to buy this stock, you could send an order to ARCA to buy at 20.12 and get...

I started off playing real money poker about six months ago at Paradise Poker, when they had a promotion offering a free $2 account to try out their microlimit tables. At Paradise Poker, they had $0.02/$0.04 tables, so you could actually play with only a $2 account balance. Obviously, the...

Just thought I'd post a comment on my recent experiece with Dell customer service. I have had Dell machines for years (6-10 machines total) and had never experienced a single problem with any of them. This is contrary to the experience I have had with no-name brands or custom built brands...
