Elindy, What op system are you attempting to run the 6 monitors on?

I had some problems with mouse related muscle soreness a few years ago. I now use both left handed and right handed mice on my two computers - spreads out the usage and eliminated my soreness issues. It took two days to become fairly proficient w/ the left handed mouse. I use a left handed...

Good Point Wally. Turning points late in day can sometimes be very subtle (at first)!

TRIN is calculated from the cumulative trade info through the day. Thus there is no moving average or reduced time frame for calculation. That's why TRIN can be misdirecting in certain situations - for instance: 1. On big gap up or down days, intraday moves will be masked since TRIN is...

I bought a Samsung Syncmaster 191T a few weeks ago and it's the best monitor I've ever owned (I currently own 4) - by a long shot. Can't recommend highly enough.

The basic premise of the original post of this thread is that making money in the competitive market environment we work in is not contributing to society. Do big brokerage firms serve a purpose for the millions of investors who invest through them? All we're doing is managing our own funds...

I looked on the home page, but the only reviews to the left are for software and brokerage reviews - none for taxation issues. Am I missing something? Thanks, Swish

Given the interest in trader taxation issues (especially over Thanksgiving) - See Trader Taxation / CPA Experiences, I think it would be a great help to have a review / rating system in ET like we do for software and brokerages.

Anybody know where I can get historical data for the S&P 500 Put/Call Ratio - either in downloadable spreadsheet data or a frequently updated chart on the web somewhere? I've searched TC2000 and Cybertrader, my two data sources, and they do not have this info. Thanks, Swish

Or losing it - as easy as that!

I haven't noticed any delays, but to be honest I haven't done a thorough analysis of it. I'm no expert on this stuff, but I think it is the switching IP addresses that partially or fully provides the firewall support.

I use a Linksys BEFSR41 Switch/Router and it's always been a snap to hook up multiple computers to my cable modem (without the need to network them). A friend was in my office the other day with his laptop and we hooked him up - no problems. The other thing nice about the BEFSR is that it...

This thread is sad, but hilarious at the same time. Gordon posts his frustration because he can't win and he always seems to lose money. Nitro then essentially says "post your trades, let us help you" Gordon then writes: i really want to ask you this question. i'm going to sound like...

Just a quick comment on your trade share sizes. You mentioned you're planning on using $500k w/ 50% margin. One of my difficulties in transitioning from paper trading to real money trading was that I also used large $ sizes for paper trading. When it came time to move to real $ trading, I...

Thanks TA for the info.......

A quick question I'm sure one of you guys knows off the top of your head: Why do some symbols on the NMS have 5 letter symbols - like CMCSK? Thanks, Swish :)

Hey, I'm thinking about going to a Pristine Seminar in a few weeks. Do you guys think it's worth the money - I think it's about $1,995!! Just Kidding Avalanche!!!!!

I've read through the posts herein with interests and kinda think its funny how the posts get more and more negative as people add their opinions. I went to a Pristine 2 day seminar a few weekends ago and yes, I paid a whopping $1,995!! Real money!! Did I get a lot out of the seminar...

I'm assume most of you using mechanical/automated trading platforms for single person / few people shops are using Tradestation. Is this correct? Are there other programmable trading platforms out there for stand-alone traders? Swish

Thanks Bernd, I had a bit of a misunderstanding of how TRIN worked - thanks for clearing it up.....
