Anyone make anything of the 500+ on the ask right now? Do people think those are fake to scare, or generally real? It is 5 or 6 ticks away from the market right now... - The New Guy

Great call Ripley et al. Thanks, - The New Guy

Nope. I'm sure they know they know what they are doing and are very good at it. I guess what I wrote was unclear. What I meant to say was that I don't think their methods are aimed at the issues I believe traders face. I'm sorry that writing about my experiences makes you think that I am...

I was trying to contribute to a discussion on video cards/system performance. I believe that is what message boards and ET is all about, but unfortunately they appear to be about ego problems and personal attacks. I am not going to attack you personally, I am not going to be rude and I will...

I really don't know how to discuss this with you. I am trying to have an open, honest discussion that could be useful to people, but you just want to attack me. Is there a way I could write that would be less offensive to you and you could discuss my points with non-aggressive comments? -...

I really don't think video cards are tested in way that is useful for trading. I assume it's because windows 2D graphics is considered a "dead issue", and it's all about 3D graphics these days. Also, what type of user other than a trader is going to notice a 100ms delay twice a day? When that...

I don't have a good answer for you. I assume there are spikes in the memory usage that cause some sort of buffering problem. I don't spend too much time figuring out why on these issues. All I know is there was a noticable difference between 128MB nvidia cards and the 512MB ones I tested...

I don't know why people feel the need to point out what CAN be done. Sure, you could run linux on a computer with 8Mb of RAM and trade off of it if you want. But why would you want to? Despite the fact that you all seem to think I'm 12, I have been around for a while. In IT the only way I...

I honestly don't get your point? Are you simply insulting my credentials without actually knowing them or is there something I'm missing here? - The New Guy

Look, I'm not trying to degrade this(what is my attempt at a discussion) into yet another ET pissing match. I didn't say the card was running 4 monitors, I said it was a 4 monitor system. Please read what I wrote a little more carefully. I don't see how suggesting that the video card COULD...

Of course it's enough to run it, but will the performance be at the desired level? I didn't say that would affect the application speed, I simply said that it was a good place to start looking. Obviously you know more about Esignal than me, and what you've pointed to sounds like a very...

I understand there may be other reasons for the slowness, but running an 8MB card on a 4 monitor system with 21 or more windows open is a very good place to start looking for problems. If there is a known issue with Esignal, then so be it. But to suggest that my answer is childish or...

To each their own. I've spent my life supporting trading computers and I would not build one with three monitors running off a 128 MB card, but maybe you're right, maybe it is overkill. I run all 512 in the new PC's I built, and I gotta tell you, they run like a dream. Depends on what...

You need to boost your video card memory. 128 is barely enough for two monitors, imho. - The New Guy

Personally I would focus on figuring out why the sheet freezes using the Calculate method. Check for integers that are trying to take strings (or floats) as inputs, maybe explicitly name the sheets in your cell references if you are using more than one sheet, and look for any error messages...

This should work Private Sub Workbook_SheetCalculate(ByVal Sh As Object) If IsNumeric(Sheets("sheet1").Range("A1")) Then If Sheets("sheet1").Range("A1") > Sheets("sheet1").Range("B1") Then Sheets("sheet1").Range("B1") = Sheets("sheet1").Range("A1") End If If...

gotcha, are you familiar with VBA? - The New Guy

From where? OS is right, they probably have a high/low field in there already.... - The New Guy

You'll need to use VBA to compare the cell value to another cell everytime the worksheet updates. I assume you're using a DDE feed or something to get the data in? At any rate, it's not hard to do, the basic logic is this. Assuming the value is in A1 and you want the high in B1 if A1 >...

Thanks for all the replies, I really appreciate it! Thanks, - The New Guy
