Neoh, Wow, that article on the p4 really was eye opening. Looks like AMD may be the way to go. Thanks for the advice. When I said I track 5 stocks, and use one feed... I ment for now. I may expand later. I defenitly dont need more than 2 monitors now, and could easily add those...

I'm planning to buy a new computer... Just had a couple of questions. What would you guys consider a good setup? I was thinking of getting a p4 1.3 gigahertz dell workstation with a 400mhz bus, 512mb ram, a scsi HD, matrox video, and 2 19 inch monitors, with windows 2000. On dell.com...

Just checked on Amazon, and the reviews seem to indicate that it has definitely fallen way short of the previous two books. I'll wait till its in paperback... And, Sterling, your right. I've avoided 90% of all books in the last couple of years. Its been mainly garbage. I've considered...

So, is it ever gonna happen? Is Schwager gonna give us another piece of candy? There have got to be some great stories to tell from the last 10 odd years since the last Wizard book. He should also do a couple of chapters on "Where are they now?", regarding the old Wizards.

Honda, tnteo is right, be careful with this new long term investment. If I was in your shoes, I'd probably just bail out and look for new, better oppurtunities. One of the worst things you can do is change time frames in the middle of a trade. You didnt select the position as an...

Its my belief that most traders can read over and over again about stops and money management. But until they burn their hand, they wont believe the stove is hot.

How can you tell if the specialist is on the bid or offer, as apposed to an individual?

I have been trading mainly by reading charts, and assesing probability of short-term reversals. I trade NYSE stocks, and do pretty well. I never have tried to read the specialist's intentions, but would like to learn how. What should I look for? Where and how can I learn? Thanks for...

Kevin, Remember, their are different trading styles for different people. Your problem sounds like you are trading a style that doesnt suit you. After a while, I learned that the ride-the-momentum / breakout approach just doesnt suit me. (I always entered right at tops and bottoms; it...

Kevin, Start off only trading a limited number of stocks. 2 or 3. If it were me, I would avoid the nasdaq for the moment, and start with some liquid NYSE issues. For now, only trade 1 position at a time. You may find you are trading less, but you will also have more time to see what...

sailplane... I personaly prefer a more calculated approach. But if thats your cup of tea, and you have the stomach to handle it... Maybe its ok. As long as you do have some sort of money manegement rules. For me... The more boring the trading, the more profitable. :)

One should never be so dogmatic in their opinions about the market. Even though I do believe this rally will fail after a few days, it may be a rather strong one. Always be ready to let the market prove you wrong...

I read something in a trading mag I got free in the mail about a year ago that talked about different internet connection options. It covered, dsl, cable, etc... But it said the best choice was pooling several modems with some special hardeware using several ISP's at the same time. Has...

QUESTION: Will non-daytraders still have access to 2:1 margin and shorting? Shorting is what really worries me. I could work out a plan to trade without margin... But I would be completely lost if I wasnt able to short. "Gamblers" are just going to start leaning more twords option...

I'm no economist, and have never studied economics, I'm just a simple trader. : ) So I'll give what I think in a sort of a question. Doesnt all wealth, in trading or otherwise, eventualy trace itself back to the earth? Lumber, ore, sources of power, etc? You didnt really take money...

I think Mytrack has OSO orders. (One Sends Other) Ask them...

Since I've found something, I guess I'll post a reply to myself... VWAP quotes can be found free at freerealtime.com. In case any other cheepos out there also wanted to know. :)

Does anyone know of any website that offers daily Volume Weighted Average Price quotes on US equities? Hopefully for free.... :)

Privateer, So they told you "SOON"? Hmmmmm. That an improvement. When I asked them, they said "in the future", I then pressed them on that and they said that "it probably WONT be very soon". Once they do, I'll wire my money right over, RIGHT AWAY.

tntneo, I can understand what your saying. And I supose I agree. As for IB's rule, privateer is correct, the commission scheduale at IB is misleading. I opened an account only to find out odd-lot trading in listed issues wasnt allowed. I immediately closed the account because that...
