Dell is mailing me XP for free after I complained that my Trading platform, among other things don't work with Vista. Their other choice was to take back the machine for a full refund.

I'll admit, I didn't push the XP issue. I just asked him matter of factly. But if Scottrade doesn't have a fix I'll push the issue with Dell. Come load XP or take back your machine. Also, I did answer the first question. As for the second question, he said "well, I'm tech support but if you...

Actually it arrived today and first thing I did was download Scottrade Elite since the Dell will be for trading only. Ten minutes later I was on the phone with Dell support who refered me to Scottrade (nobody there on Saturday) Then I asked him two questions, 1) Can Dell put XP back on it...

Did that already. It opens but I don't get a log on screen. I'm hoping Scottrade will have the answer.

I have no choice. Just got a new Dell and they don't ship with XP any more.

Anyone know if Scottrade Elite is compatible with Vista? Still awaiting a reply from Scottrade.

OH NO! :eek: How can I make you belive me? I really want to win your trust!

Excellent summary! I couldn't agree more. Your last comment reminds me of the strategy that Dorian Yates followed when he was Mr. Olympia. He said he never considered the competition as he prepared to compete, he only tried to beat his own performance year after year. Speaking in the third...

Well, that is where opinions will differ. My opinion is if it were not a newbie he would not have put his entire account into a single position. Been there, done that, got burned and learned. Just ask Nick Leeson :D

I'll use an example to show why I believe the "MYTH" that risk management is #1 priority.. Tony Oz, in the book "The Stock Trader", made a profit of $16,000 + in four weeks trading a $50, 000 account. A 32.55% return in a month.(he didn't compound either) He made 116 trades, 75 winners & 41...

Hey, thanks for reminding me why I hardly come around ET any more. I used to like this place as it was a nice retreat from the juvinile flames on the Yahoo boards. It's ignorant replies like yours that have made this place just another Yahoo message board. More to the point, I don't need a...

You can't use a dollar amount to judge performance, you have to use a percentage return. A great day trader trading a small account might double his money but not make as much as a lucky "speculator" with a big account. I think risk management is the better measure of a great trader...

If you weed out the very thin stocks that make the list you are left with a very "tradeable" list of stocks. However, very few of these picks are "investable". It's a great source for MoMo since many of the picks are small float names that are already running. Knowing when to get out is the...

When using Scottrade Elite platform and watching a particularly busy stock trade, such as AAPL or QQQQ on a good day, I'll notice that it seems to strain my system. Thats with a few charts open, times & sales streaming, trade ideas running and a quote grid streaming all at once. I upgraded to...

Not to steal your thread but I have a question along this topic. I will be upgrading my setup soon and I'm also looking to do a multi monitor setup. Am I right to assume that the computer will need some added card that allows the multi screen? And once set up am I right to assume that the...

As long as we are making predictions............ ........the DOW will continue to correct to the 11600-11700 area. Then it's rally time.

True, but that would form a wedge as opposed to a channel.

I think the market had it's A and B legs of the correction and now it's on the C leg. SPY failed it's attempt to break out of the channel again. Will it break out of the channel again or drift back down to the bottom? Opinions?

I think he is now using the Pen name "Nancy Beaumont".
