    IB disconnected many times

    My connection via DSL is usually pretty solid for TWS and Ensign with only a disconnection once every month or two. I did trade while on vacation via a cable modem and was constantly getting disconnected and had very sluggish performance compared to my DSL.

    Mohan of Daytraders Action / 21st Century Futures

    First Morning Call I've seen him miss so far; said the S&P would rally until at least 1:30pm. I keep getting emails regarding the Ask Mohan section of his site. Do you find his answers to questions useful and educational?

    Another Day , Another Fat Finger Trade

    The hard part in doing this is that you don't know what caused the spike if it's human error until it hits the wires; by then you have lost most of the edge.

    Mohan of Daytraders Action / 21st Century Futures

    I signed up to receive a trial of their S&P Futures newsletter and Mohan seems to be right on most of the time in calling what the ES will do for the day. For those who subscribe are his directional calls consistent over a longer period of time; say for the last 6 months? Do you make the 6 to...

    Ensign Lock Lines Function

    I received an email back from the Ensign support person and he said he was mistaken, you cannot have the same trendlines carried over to charts with different timeframes.

    Overkill?

    I don't think it's overkill, I usually like to make sure my PC's last me at least 4 to 5 years before replacing them and I opted for 1 Gig Ram w/ one of the fastest processors when I purchased my last computer. Some other things you may want to take into consideration: 1) Power Supply: Will...

    Ensign Lock Lines Function

    I just got off the phone w/ Ensign and here is what works and how. The trendlines drawn on one chart should stay on that chart once you lock the lines. However, I couldn't get my to work until I added the symbol that I was using on the chart onto the Custom Quote Page. After I added the...

    Ensign Lock Lines Function

    I usually right click and select Times off that menu. My hunch is that it works but not for my system. Maybe a de-install and re-install will fix it. I couldn't get this to work for at least the last 3 Ensign versions.

    Ensign Lock Lines Function

    I have tried locking both the studies and the lines and each one individually with the same results. Even locking the lines and changing the timeframes on the same chart doesn't work for me. The lines don't lock and don't carry over to the new time frame. (although this doesn't meet my...

    Ensign Lock Lines Function

    I use the latest Ensign dated 7/10/03 and would like to take support and resistance lines drawn on a 5 minute chart and have those same lines show up on a new 15 minute (or whatever timeframe) chart. Ensign support told me to use the lock lines feature and I have tried it but the lines don't...

    I don't usually like to tell someone that they had a good post because it just takes up non-trading related space. But; NICE POST Plum!!

    Career Advice

    I would concur with everyone else, STAY right were you are and collect the $60k / year salary. Continue to build your resume while studying the markets and doing some swing trades. In this economy, bored w/ a good salary is more than many people have right now. I would be really pissed at...

    Trojan Attack!

    Are you talking about Messenger popups or popup type ads that you get from going to specific websites? The reason why I ask is I use NAT w/ a DSL router and get popups from websites all the time.

    what f*ck just happened

    I don't believe for a second that large institutions don't have failsafes. They invest HUGE amounts of money into IT and software development. Even Realtick has a feature that you can set that pops up a window for a confirmation if your order goes over a user defined threshold.
