    dual wan router, hotbrick

    I am running the HotBrick... with an old Linksys uplinked. First the HotBrick: My DSL would not work or be super erratic... Until I dropped the MTU from 1492 to 1400... Since then works great. (Also upgrade firmware to latest). To uplink the Linksys... (1) Set Linksys address to...

    Why are my IB equity orders filled on IDEAL?

    Historically, IB initiatives have driven down costs for traders... So I hope to see IDEAL+SMART volume continue to climb: My Stats NYSE Listed (Small to Medium Caps) - 3,700,000 shares since November 13th NYSE 92.9% IDEAL 2.0% CAES 1.9% ISLAND 1.7% SMART 0.8% ARCA 0.7% So...

    Bush's ACE In The Hole

    Karl Rove has planned the whole thing. A tiny, unworkable Moonbat majority in Congress... So the Bats can be caught on the Wrong Side of History... Just like the Soviet Union Redux... And be relegated back to the sidelines for another generation... When America finally gets tough... Goes...

    dual wan router, hotbrick

    Ha-ha-ha. I'm so happy with 1 week of 100% uptime (really is a difference)... That I have yet to try the old "physically unplugging" broadband wires. When you make 300 trades/day... One becomes totally paranoid about tinkering with systems that are running uneventfully. Now that I have...

    Bush's ACE In The Hole

    I've believed for months... That a military confrontation with Iran is inevitable... And the die was directly cast in The Speech. It's hard to imagine.... Anything that would be more popular with the American people... Than cutting Iran down to size. Pat Buchanan explains...

    Comparative Advantage

    The correct term is probably "competitive advantage"... Larry notwithstanding. Perhaps that long-winded poster can write a 2,000 word post debating this with himself. If you do not have ONE or usually MORE THAN ONE... And do not know precisely what it is... Than you are not making...

    dual wan router, hotbrick

    The HotBrick LB-2 and Xincom DPG502... are exactly the same router... With different paint and slightly different firmware. I have both in front of me. BOTH make you CHOSE one of the following... (1) Load balancing... Which increases your download time by 80% or so... very noticeable...

    dual wan router, hotbrick

    Further update on my HotBrick LB-2... It is working great... I have 5 computers connected... 2 via an uplinked Linksys router. And the load balancing... And has more or less DOUBLED my bandwidth. It's really obvious when you download files... they just fly. So it's really worth the...

    Three Pervasive Myths in the Trading World

    Three Pervasive Myths in the Trading World

    This can't possibly be a sarcastic post... no one could be that naive... So I will try a serious answer. Say for basketball: INBORN (1) extremely athletic body (2) exceptional vision (3) exceptional hand/eye coordination (4) Exceptional drive to win/succeed (5) basketball/sports IQ =...

    dual wan router, hotbrick

    I may not be explaining this with the correct terminology... But quite a few special purpose programs like quote software... Use very specific ports directly... often different ports out and in. It's usually the NAT and firewall features of the router that block these programs... Like my...

    Three Pervasive Myths in the Trading World

    This is a good question. (1) The whole wannabe Day Trading Horde is a drop in the bucket... maybe 1% of total volume. (2) I don't see anybody here seriously trading stocks I specialize in. Most n00bs just pile into suicidal, high profile, liquid, easy-to-trade areas like large caps...

    Three Pervasive Myths in the Trading World

    I know, I know... that's good advice. I should just perpetuate the lies of the Securities Industry... Knowing that I have an advantage over the noobs coming in to get fleeced... And just smile... and EXPOIT them all the way to the bank. But no... to my detriment... I am a Slave to some...

    Three Pervasive Myths in the Trading World

    The wannabe trading world is hilarious. I went to a ET Trader Hookup last summer attended by about 15 people... And did not meet a single person making a decent living trading. At least 10 of the people could be certified as "desperate". I spent part of the evening talking to a mid-40s...

    Three Pervasive Myths in the Trading World

    Yes. Great article. You can boil it down to one sentence: 90% of the people reading this thread... should stop trading. It's just like being a pro athlete or Rock Star... Talent is 99% of the ballgame. People know they have a great talent in something by age 10... Because the...

    Spiritual Aspects of Trading

    This ia a GREAT post. I can totally relate to 90% of this man's experience. (1) Independent Thinker This really means constant critical analysis... Which then tends to overflow into all aspects of your life... And no one likes to be "critically analyzed"... Because 99-100% of human lives...

    the dark side ...

    There is a way to 90% negate "dark forces"... manipulating the market against you. Follow 100s of stocks... And have many "equivalent" opportunities always available to you. Like right now I have 172 Limit Orders out there... And I could not care less which ones get filled... Because...

    Henry Blodget investment wisdom

    Agree. Also... This Forum is called "Elite Trader"... and this section is called "Trading". There is very little overlap in terms of methodologies required... For successful "investing" versus successful "trading"... And a completely different ** personality ** is required for each...

    Google Has a Short Half life - Maybe Another 2 Years of Dominance

    Shoddy knockoffs? Google search is the best there is. GMail is the best there is. Great, simple interface. Near zero spam. Anyone who still uses Outlook instead... is what's called a "late adopter". And you missed my point. GOOG is not out to displace MSFT from the business...
