    Comuter Techies I need your help - New Computer

    You would think. I would like to save you a big headache right now, and seriously consider using XP over vista. Don't think of vista as an upgrade, because it really dosent offer any compelling features for traders. In fact many applications are incompatible and or run much slower on vista.

    Programmer Question

    Another way to look at it; put yourself in their shoes. If you have developed an algorithm that works fairly well, would you use it yourself? The NDA is only going to stop them from re-selling the idea. It may not stop them from using it privately.

    Using SPY data to compensate for ES data

    That is essentially what I describe in other words. ES is a derivative of the S&P 500. Futures being the derivative of the actual product (the index). Therefore they are not the same thing; traders dictate the price for the ES, the 500 stocks dictate the SPY index, leading me to believe...

    Using SPY data to compensate for ES data

    I am not exactly familiar with the symbol SPY, but isn't that an index? From my understanding, ES is a derivative of the S&P, so there may actually be deviating from the actual index.

    Comcast started throttling me!

    Heres another idea; offer tiered plans. I would be happy to pay for what I am using. Like a $200/month business plan w/ up to 500GB/m or whatever. In the article they were talking about "after 250GB, $15 charge for each 10 GB." which is basically saying FU to the power users. Which based upon...

    Comcast started throttling me!

    8.2GB a day is a JOKE. I would be freaking out by lunch time. So, OK. 8.2GB a day might be a lot to most people today, and there in lies the problem. Comcast is trying to get rid of the power users (people like me) who are eating up most of their SHARED bandwidth to provide a better experience...

    Comcast started throttling me!

    They can't be serious. With all sorts of mediums moving to digital distribution, including legitimate HD video streaming and downloading, these type of caps would do more damage than good to their bottom line. Some people would hit this cap every month. I know I would. And im not the only...

    Comcast started throttling me!

    My observations with Comcast seem to be that they are more concerned with users that hog all the up bandwidth. Likely they same reason they started "throttling" or injecting bad packets to users who use P2P cuz it utilizes heavy up bandwidth. When Comcast found out I was using my garage...

    What is the fastest intel processor?

    That certainly is impressive. I will look in to it when I do upgrade my everyday computer. For my trading computer however, it just comes down to piece of mind for me. If the workstation were to lock up just once, it wouldn't be worth it for me. I would rather pay the extra $100-200 to run at...
