    My temps never go over 117 degrees with the 1800 which is overclocked to 2000+ specs or about 1616mhz. I am running the Coolermaster heatsink 5400 rpm fan and have good case cooling, 2 exhaust fans. You may need the better heatsink and ventilation. I am not using arctic silver just the thermal...

    Why the delayed crash?

    the sideways pattern or basing pattern. Its a little early to fully see it, but give a few months and it will become more evident. We should stay in the sideways pattern for months, maybe years. 7500-9000 dow, 1100-1350 naz. Then maybe a blow off and strong bull trend up in 8 years! Good luck

    How does the SEC's definition of a trader effect me?

    That with all the problems the friggin government has they want to get into the daytraders mind and try to regulate what you can and can't do. Why doesn't the friggin government learn how to regulate themselves. Most people can take care of their trading decisions themselves. If I want to blow...

    How does the SEC's definition of a trader effect me?

    You can trade as much as you want. If you are trading with margin and it falls below 25 k then you are restricted to the rules. If you trade with cash the sky is the limit or should I say your account. I have a cash account with the margin also but don't use the margin only the cash. The margin...

    You can trade as many times as you want as long as your not using margin. If you use margin, you are limited to 3 or 5 trades per 5 day period, from what I recall. If you are funded to 25000 then the rule doesn't apply unless your account falls below that amount.:) :D
