    How much Ramm?

    Dual channel mode effectively creates one 128-bit memory path from 2 independent 64-bit memory channels, theoretically doubling the potential bandwidth. However, before anyone gets too excited, the real world performance differential is about 1-5%. This is more beneficial to gamers than it would...

    How much Ramm?

    Wrong.... Addressable memory is not set by L2 cache, period. It is set by the memory path (32, 40, 48, 64-bit) 2^32 = 4GB, why does everyone think they need to opine incorrectly when the absolutely correct info was already here?

    How much Ramm?

    Indeed.... There are some physical limits that are imposed by design on these 64-bit designs (128 - 1024GB?), but you are absolutely correct the virtual addressing capabilities would be theoretically 2^64 which is just ridiculous!

    How much Ramm?

    No amount of RAM will slow a system down, however, there is the laws of diminishing returns. I find it difficult to believe that most traders would require more than 1GB, but I would say that the entire trader spectrum can be covered between 512MB-2GB range. 32-bit processors can only use 4GB...

    Writing options for a living

    First of all, your response makes zero sense when attacking my statements, I have no clue at all as to what legitimate point that you are attempting to make, but this is my response to the ignorance in spite of it: It's called an outlier and an outlier will never help sellers my friend. In...

    Writing options for a living

    Are you for real? Man, have you got a lot to learn... Dude, markets don't adhere to Guassian distribution, as such your argument holds not a drip of water.

    Predicting markets - impossible

    Toronto, It is more than possible to do much better than the 15% you mention (many multiples of that in fact), but with the methods you stated, you are barking up trees miles from where you need to be. D

    OptionVue is very good... On a retail level, thinkorswim has a very good analysis package as well.

    OHLC programming

    Now see, this is the kicker kut2k2. You went from being helpful to sounding ridiculous very quickly. Your latter offering is no solution and your tone has swithced to being insulting. Your opinions about targets I am not interested in, and that is all it is. Don't insist to me or anyone that...

    OHLC programming

    I now understand what you are saying, but I am not havin trouble accounting for when I am in or out of a trade EOD, or even BOD. I am actually pondering the "age old" issue of how to handle stops and targets that theoretically both hit on the same daily bar. I believe as Michael B. states, that...

    OHLC programming

    I am an experienced trader who is only beginning to program systems. I have a basic question about OHLC programming. I am sure there is something quite simple I am overlooking (so no sarcasm) but what concerns me is the following: Let's assume that entry for a given system is on a Monday...

    Trading Recipes question

    Thanks for the response, that definitely helped. I bought this from someone on this site and I know little of where to go for help. What is the list you are referring to? I was hoping you or anyone else could answer one more question: I know TR has commands for days of the week, but what...

    Trading Recipes question

    I'm sure I am doing something stupid, but any help is appreciated. I ran a backtest and found that there were 56 trades in a particular test. Now granted, I set commissions to be 0 and set SLIPPAGE = 1, I get some strange figure of $1057 for slippage. First I wonder how it assumes the value per...

    is anybody using a laptop with Intel® Pentium® M Processor ?

    Pentium M is far faster than a equivallent clocked Pentium 4, so it is not a matter of battery life versus performance, the Pentium M is just plain better across the board.

    Example Trading System

    I think the plan is quite clear, but I do not code it to anything for reference. He has done all that backtesting which has been spot-checked. I do daily testing by hand. Been a tough last few weeks.
