    Virus/trojan question

    While a trojan can contain a virus, it is the virus which "attacks" a machine. And it will "attack" the master HD, not the slave. You should have anti-virus software installed on the master, so that whatever you back up on the slave is already scanned and virus-free.

    Market devastated by Unified Dems Candidate

    Winston, for the sake of your financial health, I hope you don't analyze investment vehicles the way you do political figures.

    Bush makes one-day profit over $170,000

    Gentlemen, PLEASE! This is a wretched way to begin the New Year. What has this "right" vs "left" stuff to do with elite trading? IMO, there is really only one political party in the US, and it has two wings: the conservative and the radical conservative. Right now, the radical...

    The CBOT will (via your broker) assign you a March 04 futures contract short from 112^00. Thus you will be in the hole for $1,000 plus commissions less whatever premium you received when you sold the 112 Call option. You can do what you wish with the futures position. Conventional wisdom would...

    Futures with under $2000

    don't even think about trading ES (1-lots) with less than $5K. Technically, you can open an IB account with $2K, and you could put on one ES daytrade, but if you didn't win that first one, you couldn't trade again. IB requires a minimum balance of $2K to open a new position, regardless of...

    15 equity charts & 1 Emini chart: that's all I need

    "I've tried Medved, but the charts (as far as I can tell) don't dynamically move from left to right, so that's a no go." - Are you sure about that, deadreader? When did you try QuoteTracker? Those charts move on my screen quite smartly!

    Gold?

    Just as with art, the only good reason to buy gold is that you like it.

    Stop the crap.....

    I participate in other discussion forums which cover topics like politics and religion. From that you can perhaps imagine how mild the "crap" on ET seems to me. However, when I come here to read and talk about trading, I'd rather not listen to a bunch more puerile flaming and trash-talk. Trading...

    They don't know the reason for the blackout but they

    Nope, just shrimp futures (MGE). And for Petesake, don't get the right to lifers all riled up about eggicide! Do we really need another constitutional-amendment crisis?

    There seem to be less people on forum: have they been wiped out ?

    And besides all that, it's August; everybody who can escape the hellish weather in northern Europe is on holiday, and nobody in North America has a clue what kind of shape the US economy is really in, or where it's heading. So much for irrational exuberance! :(
