killingtheta - I believe a dual wan router w/ automatic failover is what you are looking for which will give you a seamless transition to another internet connection in the event one fails. like i said before they're on amzn for a few hundred.

another vote for ESET. for your guys looking to save money (like me) there is a way around paying for ESET. just continually get a free trial on their website and use a fake email address each time (like from tenminutemail.com). it's a pita to uninstall/install new version every month but...

losing money on a security is one thing (obviously it happens to EVERYONE). losing money on a security that you were in solely b/c there was a huge conflict of interest (meaning your firm has zero integrity in my opinion) is quite another. saying "everything's fine - nothing to see here - no...

killingtheta is def prepared. although ups battery back up should be more than adequate for 99% of the times the power flickers/goes out for a few minutes anything longer than that will require more power (as tim the tool man from home improvement would say). if you have a lot of faith in...

http://www.indoorgenerator.com/ sorry about the missing link. note to self: increase red bull consumption by 100%. i forgot to add an important part of dis preparedness - redundant internet connections! example would be cable and dsl both run through a dual wan router. you can buy...

this is in a response to a pm i received re managing op disasters. ask yourself what could go wrong in every aspect of my trading and have a backup for it. this includes: data feed - always have at least 2 contact broker outside of trading platform - cell phone not VOIP since internet...

To the OP, check out this website for whole house UPS. Disclaimer: I haven't actually bought their product just saw it researching longer term UPS options (for more than 30 mins which is what you'd prob get w/ only 1 monitor plugged into as others have said). Newguy, seeing that power...

a sunny afternoon in pelican bay prison... Me: so what are you in for? Hardened criminal: armed robbery Me: what a coincidence - me too! Hardened criminal: what'd you try to steal? Me: Winston's setup:D

if the OP's thesis works out maybe they can make a movie about him like they did about the hunt brothers (trading places). i vote for gary busey as the main character supported by lenny dykstra.

I believe Jeff Augen does a lot of work re buying vol the day after earnings for this exact reason. Check out his work - it's backed up by hard data.

If I could short this offer I would. Actually I'd buy DOTM puts:D I know one of the hedgies who was buying CDS on the ABX bought a shirt that says "I'm short your house". My favorite is one that says "I'm short your skirt" - maybe wear to a date or something if you're feeling confident...

He was talking about the BSC retail bank remember lol? When he said that I almost threw the tv out the window. I thought "I'll give someone all the bailout money if they can show me ONE retail BSC bank". It's one thing to make a bad call (in public no less). There's nothing wrong w/ that...

clab - welcome to ET! Re the importing of TXF file from your broker to turbotax - I believe you can do this w/ the CD version. Here's a link to a guy w/ a similar prob: http://www.younggunstrading.com/2011/02/tax-headaches-and-solutions-turbotax.html Have you looked into using tradelog?

Re the first quote - I agree. This is simple technical analysis however you MUST use a stop at that resistance if you're shorting to prevent being run over. Re the second - this is true to some extent. The other energies (HO, RB) move w/ CL more than NG. Remember to focus solely on the...

this is normal. just take a lot at spx IV for puts vs calls. puts are always higher b/c there is a permanent base of investors who want to hedge which supports IV and also sell covered calls which depresses IV.

futures - the huge move at 10:30 EST was from the weekly inventory report. I strongly suggest you mark this event on your calendar (I put audio alerts on my computer alerting me of economic/scheduled market moving events like this so I'm flat before they're announced. NG jumped 7 cents...

This fee structure is too low. Remember clients are willing to pay for good performance.:cool:

+1 to what opt780 said. Actually plus a million. J-Law I agree that selling options can be a profitable strategy for a while it can also blow up a nanosecond after your trade is filled. The worst case scenario for a fund like taleb's is a SLOW bleed (a few percent every month) with the...

here's some jokes for those french socialists... how many gears does a french tank have? 5. 4 are reverse and 1 forward in case the enemy attacks from the rear. why are the guns so big in france? so they don't break when the soldiers drop them.:D

I don't trade emini options (prefer spy) but in general it's dangerous to put in physical stops for options b/c of the intraday vol. If that's your cup of tea just call/email the trade desk - it's the quickest way to get the right answer.
