    Free copy of Acronis Backup Software

    Perhaps I read it wrong, but I thought this thread was about a guy who grabbed the free download of version 7 and was unable to use it to save the True Image file to his USB connected HDD and that in order to make it all work, he would need to convert his drive to a dynamic one. If I'm wrong...

    Free copy of Acronis Backup Software

    Also, you do NOT need to change your HDD to a dynamic drive to run version 8 of Acronis. I just checked mine to make sure and all my HDDs that I use Acronis on are ALL basic drives. Seriously, I know free rocks :D but consider buying the current version.

    Free copy of Acronis Backup Software

    I have version 8.0 so I don't know if v. 7 will do this, but I make my images files right to the same partition that I'm backing up. Then I simply copy the newly created file to my external USB connected HDD. Works perfectly. But again, this is v 8

    What to tell family/friends?

    Well to be fair, I started knowing NOTHING (even though I thought I did), then my wife's cancer returned and I took a year off in there to umm, you know, take care of her, until her death, then a few months to get my head out of the oven, then I started up again. So, call it two years. :D

    What to tell family/friends?

    I've only been asked a few times. I ask them if they have one solid year of living expenses in the bank. Cash on hand ready to make their monthly nut each and every month. They never do. I've told them it's taken me five years to get consistently profitable, and even then I still sometimes...

    Do You Really Trust Cnbc?

    A definite MILF... Yeppp... Anybody remember Alexis ummmmm, whatshername... She read the news off MSNBC on the CNBC news breaks. And as long as we're talking hot anchors, Robin Meade on CNN absolutely gets me. She was here in Chicago on NBC before she went network and oh my God is she a hottie

    Do You Really Trust Cnbc?

    JUST ONE TIME, I'd like to see when the market is down bad, Maria B throws it to Bob Pisani who, when asked why the market's down, says simply... "More seller than buyers.... Back to you Maria!" The Cubs will win the World Series before I see that.

    What is going on with the TT fix adapt?

    I'm on Ninja Trader (current version of 5.2.1000.4) trading through PATS with Man Financial. Have had no problems at all today. Yesterday it was down for most of the afternoon though.

    YM -> ER2

    Austin, Could you state why you feel that way? That's the kind of specific info I'm looking for. Oh, and as a previous purchaser of the CM-PPR method, can I get a discount on the current stuff? :) Thanks

    YM -> ER2

    I agree except ER2 doesn't trade is whole points - $10 ticks for each $.10 rather than the YM's $5 for each point, but you know that :) I'll be adjusting my contract size down to accommodate the increased risk of each ER2 contract.

    YM -> ER2

    I've been trading the YM forever (and have a leased IDEM seat too) and now after the second total outage in the last six months or so of the ECBOT, I want to migrate away from YM and start trading ER2. Not saying Globex is the end all, be all, but it does seem to be more reliable. Of course I...

    E-Signal Problem

    Interesting. Never tried that, but once I did (60s versus 1 min), the ability to only look at the market time (9:30 - 4:00) stopped working. The chart only would display the entire 24 hour period.

    E-Signal Problem

    What symbol? I am having problems with YM Z6 just stopping. But the continuous symbol of YM #F seems to be fine.

    How can I overcome this fear?

    Yea, if he can't even figure out equities and now since 'all the action is in Forex!!!!' he'll just blow out quicker. Too bad - I've been where he is and I had the brains to stop trying other markets thinking that was the problem rather than realizing ALL my problems were between my ears.

    Suggestions for a low cost email server

    Respectfully, it is not suicide to run a Windows platform mail server. It's not like you're running NASA for God's sake. It's just another program and the ArgoSoft one is very easy and very stable. And you do not HAVE to have a static IP for a server, although of course it's preferable. All...

    Suggestions for a low cost email server

    This one's good. Cheap too. Runs on Windows easily. The 'Plus' version (the one that would probably work best for your installation needs) is a whopping $49. Totally worth it. http://www.argosoft.com/RootPages/MailServer/Default.aspx

    How can I overcome this fear?

    Respectfully guys, he's scared. Case closed. And until he stops being scared, no suggestions of logical things to do is going to override his emotions. All the 'place your entry here' and 'place your exit there based on this' makes perfect sense. And you would think that you could override your...

    How can I overcome this fear?

    Trader Dave, I have been dealing with and working to overcome the exact same problem. You say it works on paper but not in real life. You also say you're entering fine but then freaking and bailing when you've got a little profit, but then a full stopped loss hit and that one loss takes out...

    Reason? Time frame? Pieces used to make decision? Entry point? Target exit point? Stop point? Contract? Symbol even?
