    42" LCD TV for trading?

    There isn't much screen real estate on a 720 but a 1080 looks great. You don't need DVI/HDMI as a VGA HD15 cable will do just fine and it's much cheaper especially if you need a long cable. I run a 25 foot cable to mine. Any video card will do. 60 hz is more than fine if its used for trading...

    Trading with blackberry or I-phone

    I remotely control my computer which runs my ATSs using RDM+ for the BB. Works great. I view a 1920x1200 monitor which I can zoom in at different levels. Only issue I have is that it will only show the primary monitor if you have multiple monitors as far as I know. Only about 5-10 mb of data is...

    Summary of a small disaster

    I think you have to ask yourself this - do your systems actually work? How long have they been tested for? Years? 1 month of positive results is not what I could consider a working strategy. I bet most system traders only have 1 or 2 profitable systems. If we had 20 we'd be laughing all the...

    What do u do to stick to your rules?

    Me too... I have such a bad habit of it. I've analyzed my history of trades in which I "intervened" and found that it was a negative number. I'm talking about hundreds of automated trades which I interfered with cause I thought with all my "experience" I would yield a better outcome. Yet, I...

    Prop firms piggybacking

    I'm always watching the tape and level2 to see if someone is piggy backing me. If you place a bid and you always see another bid appear at the same price or the price above you, then you should suspect something is wrong. And I'm not talking about the bots that out-penny you on thin stocks...

    Wireless trading from Europe

    I'm planning to do the same. Anyone have an idea of the rates for 3G service from prepaid phone plans. If I used a UK sim card, could I get the same 3G rate in another country? Buying a new sim card in every country would be a pain in the ass. I'd like to be able to trade from anywhere...

    Trading only in the mornings now

    I suggest doing an analysis of all your trades for some length of time such as a year. I found that only 2% of my total profits were made between 13:00 to 14:00 so I use that time to have lunch, shower, attempt to pleasure the gf, etc.

    colocation in toronto

    I'm looking for a place in Toronto where I can colocate 2 of my computers. I plan on traveling the next year or so and I need to run my ATSs which I'll monitor remotely. I've checked out some websites but they seem to use their own computers. I'd like to use mine if possible. Only need about 50...

    Traders...immune to recession?

    Cause all the people I know that make real good money trade equities. Much less efficient. And why don't you pay taxes? Even a mexican lawn mower pays his taxes on income earned. But as a day trader with basically unlimited BP it doesn't matter. Having more stocks to trade = more trading...

    Traders...immune to recession?

    I fear lack of volatility too. And many stocks which I used to trade I can no longer because they turned into garbage penny (sub $5) with 10 cent ranges with huge bid/ask sizes. A lot less 50+ dollar stocks these days and a lot more F/SIRI/S/AMD type of stocks. So instead of monitoring 1000+...
