I found that a G400 with a PIII was most compatible, to add additional PCI cards in, to create a 6-monitor trade station. The P4s don't seem to support many video cards as well, so the PIII w/G400 AGP is the best... I had compatibility problems w/G450 + other PCI cards. I've also had...

I use Sony E540's and they're terrific. I've avoided flat panels because of the reputation for short lives, plus they seem less clear than the Sony Trinitrons. I had bought a samsung monitor years ago and it lasted less than 8 months, so I'll never buy samsung again. Sony's still...

Interesting re kidney stones... and other comments.. tip: get one of those scales that also has a body fat reading, my wife got one and it helps, since it's the body fat number (not just pounds) that needs reducing ... there's many on amazon.com or at costco ... ken

yes re Deming, I was able to see him once, when I was at Ford... he always surrounded himself with a bevy of young women who were his assistants... rather gruff and broad-picture re his comments, a nice experience though, to have seen him the one time... my master's thesis was on masaki...

Nice to see some stat talk... "Taguchi Loss Function", it's been years since I've heard that mentioned... sometimes I miss stats (I used to be a quality engineer/statistician for Ford Motor Co. etc years ago).. fwiw, I look at the market in terms of the inverse of our goal in a production...

excellent points re family, raising kids well, being the best of accomplishments... no matter one's fame, publication history, or other contributions... there's nothing that beats the sense of accomplishment of knowing you've done the best you can for the kid(s) you've been a parent for...

right re above on taxes... the 'pyramiding' effect of the excise tax is that, unlike a flat sales tax like most other places have, the tax is a transaction one, so it gets stacked through from wholesale to retail at every step, adding up to something like an equivalent of what a 10-12% sales tax...

there was one local trader, Clyde something? who even had a site, I don't recall the name, or know if they're still meeting, they seemed like a nice group when I gave a talk to their meeting a couple of years ago at Tony Roma's nr kahala mall (one of my favorite restaurants for grilled mahi) ...

Hawaii's superb -- terrific scenery and year-round golf & beach weather in the high 70s/low 80s. Close to zero smog or pollution of any kind. Gentle tradewinds, aquamarine beaches everywhere you look and swaying palm trees. Not many ties are found in Hawaii... We wear aloha shirts and...

I like to look for many things to help confirm breakouts, I like to see at least a couple in my favor at an entry: a) a simplistic one that many beginners use is to scan for volume+ at breakout (that's a chart-specific indicator) Example: I like to see 20-30% higher volume bars in the most...

Agree. I think it's not helpful to ET's image to have "bring me meat and cheese I'm huge" yahoo message posters on the threads here. I came here to ET to get Away from that type of thing. What's helpful is discussing trading strategy, techniques, chart patterns, discipline, position...

Can we see a screencap of your brokerage record proving the actual trades you're claiming to have made, and your other yahoo claims? ah ok I didn't think so. As I said earlier, I *really* hope that ET doesn't become a haven for yahoo message board posters. Really. from the...

that's a concern I have with the whole idea of a java-based trade execution platform, as java applications are sometimes unstable and dependent on specific pc configurations ... I have to spend a lot of time helping traders configure java for things like chat room access so it works...

rush at the la forum, 1989 (or thereabouts). that was a great live concert. and the 'yes' festivals were good too. re music, also pink floyd 'dark side of the moon' (how many times have i listened to that album?), led zep, doors, george thorogood, the police, the who.. dvds, the...

agree, good song list :P the new rush dvd in rio is great, as is sade's...

I've found that the best way to watch any financial tv show is with the volume turned completely down. :) I have not listened to a talking head since late 1999, and it's great that way. I focus instead on the Data and the Charts. They do all the talking I want to hear. I will watch...

good point daxman ... agree.. I like 1-min and 2-min candles, and always embed in context of market internals (trin, 2d pattern vs OHLC, fibos, volume) in addition to the specific pattern (3lb, engulfing, doji) etc.. btw I primarily use candles to 1) spot pivots/exits for open moves and 2)...

best concert music dvd's imho are: Sade's and the new Rush (in rio) one agree re politics and music should'nt mix, like actors and politics ken
