:D After a month I've discovered my account options. For those of you who private messaged me and didn't get an answer please forgive:D

Can't answer your question about ram. These cards have 8mb built in and I've had a dozen charts on a monitor with no problems. Don't know if that qualifies as a lot.:)

Hmmm. Would it be illegal to offset trades in QQQ,s or other trackers not subject to the uptick rule at another broker?

I don't know how many pci slots you have but i'm using individual pci cards for each monitor and they cost like $30 apiece. Stock data is not very graphic intensive. You don't need anything fancy unless you use it for other things. I use a separate computer for video, surfing, etc.

The last few days I have been experimenting with a slightly longer time frame, 1 to 3 days and doing terrible. I have been doing pretty good for several months using in intraday time frame, 10 minutes to an hour or so, trading off support and resistence levels, double tops and double bottoms...

Neo I have read a lot of your posts and the best advice I can give you is, keep it simple. The worst mistake you can make starting out (I speak from experience) is jumping from one strategy to another, from one indicator to another. You will never get anywhere. Decide on something and stick to it.

Thats my understanding too, Kicking, but I dont see what difference it makes. All that matters to me is if the tick is at an extreme or trending one way or the other and if the bids are dropping the market will be dropping too. The Big Board often diverges with the Naz. When it does, why would...

I don't think Hitman's style is even an option for most of us. Early on I tried scalping from home and got creamed. It doesnt suprise me that people are making money with just a few trades a day. What would suprise me is somebody making money scalping remotely. Is anybody here doing that...

"The big money belongs to the day trader that can call the big intraday moves in the volatile stocks." Can you do it? If so please enlighten us on how you call the big intraday moves as we need all the help we can get. tia

Neo.. There is no way a new trader is not going to get excited, angry and every other possible emotion. I don't care how many books you read the first few hundred trades are going to arouse your emotions. Dont worry about it. It's part of the process.:)

What o/s are you using? When I installed Win2000 I had two identical ATI video cards on the pc. They had worked fine with 98. It worked fine on one but the second monitor was screwed up. I tried everything. Same drivers, same everything. I had another video card in the closet, popped it in and...

Dattrader Its been a little while since I used Realtic but I'm pretty sure it will give you 50 units. One of the reasons I left my previous dataprovider when I went to Realtic was because they only provided 25 most actives. I got my data direct from Townsend Analytics and not through a...

Geneden If you have Realtic you dont need Sortwizard to scan for premarket gaps. Realtic has a function that will let you monitor the 50 highest or lowest gapping stocks premarket built right into it.

I turn loose of my money all the time.:D

Dozu.. Thats very interesting. I haven't heard it put quite that way before. May be the reason most pros gravitate toward the futures if they last long enough. That plus the leverage. :)

It's hard for me to understand how you can trade futures other than financial derivitives off of technicals. I would think that commodities would trade off of fundamentals alone. Currencies, grains, metals, oil and natural gas etc. should be controlled by supply and demand, weather , politics...

Trying to correlate different elements in an attempt to figure out which way the market is going upon the open is an exercise in futility. The open is the most upredictable beast known to man. The futures can be up 50 and the market will tank and vice versa. I used to play the open a lot. Big...

didnt realize there was another page:(

Tomshardware.com has lots of great research on different combinations.

I use TICKQ all the time. works fine for me. I chart it with 5 min candlesticks. Quite often it will lead the action a little.
