Usually your service provider (ISP) will give you an IP address via DHCP, therefore your IP address will change periodically. If you want a static IP they usually charge more for business service. Set your router up to DHCP out the WAN port for the ISP's address and DHCP NAT on the LAN side...

I don't see this on their web site, where did you hear about this?

Both the charts and Level I are accurate but the Level II lags. I use hot keys to execute my orders and they are based off the Level II data, it puts a serious crimp on my order execution.

I am being told by Realtick support that users are not having issues with ES Level II lagging behind the actual price. I for one have had this issue happen 3 or 4 times in the last week and a half, usually during the high volume morning hours. Is anyone else seeing this issue?

Tampa, Very narrow minded of you, I was going to give you grief but mr roboto did a good enough job in doing that.

Here is an article about research done on timing the markets, looks like academia is catching up... http://cbs.marketwatch.com/news/story.asp?siteid=mktw&dist=nwhwk&guid=%7B51C9E488%2D5DAA%2D4197%2DB943%2D9A5FE83E9E88%7D

Tampa, you're such a grumpy old bastard...

AAA, Try using Ping Plotter. It gives you a little bit more of a graphical representation of your connection. It will show you where the disconnect is and whether the routers in your path are dropping packets. http://www.pingplotter.com/ If the path shows clean and you get a pause or...

Josh, The level II for EST2 was behind the Realtick Level I and charts and Ensign charts by up to 10 points. Happens all the time when there is large volume. What are you guys doing to fix this problem? (Please don't tell me this is the first time you've heard of it.)

I think for a newbie, stopping at a set amount of profit is a smart idea. It helps to build confidence by ending the day green and hopefully it brings consistency to their trading. I think it's really up to the choice of the veteran traders whether to stop or not when hot. I've read a number...

Jay123, I agree with you 100%. The points you make are the primary reasons why I work through each time I think I should hang it up and get a "real" job. I don't want to be 50+ years old and be laid off or hate my job with no place to turn. Trading is definitely a great lifestyle!

Personally, I will invest in treasuries, quality municipal and utility bonds, and Real Estate once I've built my reserve back up. Traders who are good at swing trading stocks could certainly trade their IRA's. My goal is to have rental real estate and fixed income investments cover my living...

Ensign has a playback feature although I haven't used it yet. Whamo

LP, Make sure if you move from trading the NQ to trading the ES that you watch / paper trade it for a while. For me, the difference in the way the two moved was like night and day. I was continually waiting for a breakout (like the NQ often does) in the ES and it would turn on me, many more...

Count me in with a meeting in Atlanta as long as it doesn't involve fighting rush "hour" traffic. Whamo

This should be done after trading hours: Log into your router, click on the Advanced section (far right option at the top). At the bottom of that first page which should be the Filters page, you will see a selection for Remote Management, disable that. As a matter of fact I would recommend...

Yes, the price server has been bouncing for the last two weeks or so and the options server won't stay up, been reinitializing all day. However my eSignal / Ensign has been much stabler than Realtick. Whamo

Understand GG, but networking 101 dictates that you disable services that you aren't using, especially a remote mgmt service. Whamo

Thanks for the link, VERY helpful! This should also be a reminder for everyone to make sure their remote management is disabled on their routers. Whamo
