    Dual monitors feature in Window XP ?

    This thread is on drugs. Every video card > $50 has 2 outputs at the back... Usually one classic VGA and one DVI. You don't need splitters, etc. Just connect a monitor to each port on back of video card... One using a standard cable... the other a DVI cable... And XP does the rest...

    Spiritual Aspects of Trading

    Most religions include "spiritual disciplines" that result in a person living "in the moment"... And not worrying about yesterday and tomorrow. Whether it's Buddhist maturity that creates stability by neutralizing desire and greed... Or Christian maturity that "lets go" because "God is in...

    stable fully mechanical system for 2000-06?

    Exactly true. No mechanical system produces great returns for one simple reason: A trading system manned by an experienced, PRO trader... Who uses discretion perhaps 50% of the time... Will CRUSH any purely mechanical system. So in a Zero Sum Game... PRO traders manning computerized...

    Enhancing Market Efficiency vs Market Manipulation

    This is a serious thread and question. The only thing that puts stock trading... On a higher MORAL PLANE than casino gambling... Or playing 3 Card Monte on the street corner... And makes it a socially respectable profession... Is the fact that your trading activity ** increases the...

    SEC propose repeal of short sale price test

    I am exactly, precisely a "real quant"... And you are not only a "real crook"... But an uncouth lowlife as well.

    dual wan router, hotbrick

    Interesting advice... I did not know that XP does failover... And I do not need load balancing. But I need 3 networked computers MINIMUM to trade... So we are talking failover at the router level... not the PC level. Right now I have 2 routers... One for each broadband service... And...

    dual wan router, hotbrick

    With the routers in the $200-$300 range... Strange problems can crop up that can require a lot of troubleshooting... And firmware issues are common. You likely have a different ISP combination... And your Xincom router will probably work just fine... But it did not like MY combination of...

    Why does Elitetrader allow anti-semitic posts?

    I don't see any evidence of any Rules of Conduct... Being enforced at all at any time... Which makes this place a sewer... And puts off most ** serious pros **... That could actually contribute something coherent. Personally... I feel that I am totally wasting my time here... And will...

    dual wan router, hotbrick

    The Hotbrick LB-2 has a great reputation... I am gonna get one in the new year. About 6 months ago I bought a Xincom DGP502... And it load balanced OK... But never, ever, ever even once failed over under any circumstances... So it just a paperweight today. There is the cheapo $200-$300...

    % of losers in various trading entities

    I think most people fail to understand the nature of the Hedge Fund industry. It's a massive SKIMMING OPERATION. Probably 80-90% of "hedge funds" have no realistic chance of outperforming anything... And their management ** does not really care **... That is NOT the Business Model...

    Building an ECN network

    The 1st step is always becoming a US broker-dealer... which takes at least 6 months... Or buying an existing BD... with management in place. There are many levels of BDs... From one person shops to Clearing Firms... And at the very least you would have to be a licensed Market Maker for...

    SEC propose repeal of short sale price test

    100% disagree with this. All the "market manipulation" scams are being shut down one by one. Pseudo-"front-running" shorts was never a way to make an "honest dollar" anyway... But you guys are gonna have an exhibit in the Specialist Museum. As for actual Quants scalping ** market...

    Programming + Trading = career path ?

    Very nice to hear from a management level Software Engineer. Most of the people hear are ** absolutely delusional **... About both trading and programming. Buy Tradestation and you are a "trader". Write a few scripts and you're a "programmer". LMAO. Greed is such a mental mind f*ck...

    Day trading in Canada Vs US

    If you do not have $25,000... Then trading for a living is not an issue at all... Unless ya gonna be a Prop Serf. When I started in the early 90s... They would not allow you to be a Competitive Options Trader in Futures Pit at the TSE... Unless you had $50,000... for this exact reason...

    US Equity Markets Closed Tuesday Jan 2nd

    Gerald Ford was an accidental President... Who totally bungled the Nixon pardon... Beat Reagan by a hair in the 1976 primaries... And then blew the election... Saddling America with Jimmy Carter... The worst President is history... And an arrogant little man who will not just Shut The F*ck...

    Roll Your Own Nuke For $10 Million

    Nice clip. But it's not gonna be a big blast... Just a very dirty bomb... that contaminates a large area... And makes it off-limits for a few generations... like the Chernobyl area. In fact, you don't even have to build a nuke... Just spread radioactive material using conventional...

    Roll Your Own Nuke For $10 Million

    It's a lot easier than people think. A nuke going off in a major US city... Within a ** few years ** is a forgone conclusion... It's when... not if. The fact that it hasn't happened yet... Shows what a bunch of bumbling nit-wits the Islamo-Fascists really are...
