Odd thing, lumber futures have recently hit all time highs, but prices of saw logs on the stump are pittifully low. So it often goes.

I know a guy who has traded with Hughs Satellite service. It will reach the speeds they claim, but will have outages in rain similar to DirectV tv service.

A second speed test returned speeds of 0.88 and 0.22 but that is my back up rig. I most often trade using a Verizon Mobile Hotspot which allows somewhat better speeds (most of the time). I'm still hopeful that Starlink will be a better solution. Verizon download speed will range from 3.0 to 29.0

Scataphagos, You are probably right. But still ... I live in a state that ranks 48th best in broadband speed / coverage. At this moment, my CenturyLink internet connection test at a mere 1.49 MBPS / 0.23 MBPS. That's the fastest speed they offer. Extended DSL they call it. Most days, my number...

This will be huge i think ... https://www.pcmag.com/news/spacexs-satellite-internet-service-latency-comes-in-under-20-milliseconds

Perhaps you could plan for a section that showed the daily top performing traders, maybe the top ones achieving over, say .5% for the day ... or some such amount. That might be a step in the right direction. Some way for people to compare their performance with others.

Hey Dave - welcome to the forum. Always room for a better mousetrap. Recent case in point is the recent TOS outages described here https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/think-or-swim-issues-today-8-17-20.348896/ I must say, this week, TOS has been near perfect and after the first 5 minutes, i...

That's a lot of testing. I sometimes wonder if we enjoy the hunt more than catching the prey. Congratulations on your findings. Your sharing of your journey will encourage others.

Found Volpri comments on R:R by reading his old threads. He advocates keeping wining amounts averaging larger than losers. My hat's off to him.

Hey Volpri - with your high win rate style (which i aspire to copy) I'm thinking perhaps your average loss may be as high as double your average win, or what would you say? Maybe triple?

Thanks Comagnum - i did not know :)

Big Thanks to all! No knowledge of various TOS versions. @ Xandman - i think you pointed me in the right direction. I maxed out Virtual Memory setting to nearly double what it was, with zero problems afterwards. It's a bit too early to be certain, but looks promising - none of the frequent...

Moments ago computer pop up message saying I'm low on memory - close TOS. I then run task manager again and it then shows Chrome using as much as TOS, each using around 650,000 K

Task Manager shows TOS ranging from 890,000 K to 918,000 K Chrome uses about 350,000 K I have adjusted TOS memory setting. My troubles only started after my first adjustment, increasing setting. I then lowered back to original. Today i lowered below that to next to lowest setting. Will see if...

Just curious - where do you plan to now use?
