    Is it possible to net $100K a year

    Article: An Anxiety Cure by Ruth Barrons Roosevelt "Hope is not a strategy: it's a simple emotion." said retired army Major General William Nash. He was speaking about the war in Kosovo. I laughed and thought about trading. I remembered times when hope was just about the only strategy I had...

    Is it possible to net $100K a year

    It is possible to get inspired by hearing what others can do, but it is the probability of your work you'd rather absorb to set goals.

    Burn in for new computers

    Thanks Gregg. I am also curious as to how prop trading firms treat their computers. I am not very good with research. A few attempts with key words, and that's it. I do feel more comfortable leaving my computer on as most businesses. Jeffrey

    Burn in for new computers

    Should a desktop workstation be left on? I used a desktop in the 90's while running a business. I know it was on at least a year at a time. I went to a laptop to trade 3.5 years ago, and shut down everyday. I'm just wondering how the majority of trading computers are treated...

    Replace with =IF(A1="SHORT",B1*C1*D1,B1*C1*D1) Hopefully those who need a worksheet are smart enough to figure it out. I just wanted to correct what I started. I'm leaving anything else alone. Jeffrey

    spreadsheet newbie
