You know what's strange about todays trading on gold, good pullback on a down day on stocks and crude oil, hmm? I'll take it though, cmon $500 gold. Nice chart btw.

A guy at the comuter store suggested putting desktops over a platic mat if they are on the floor. Something about static elect. and less dust. Anyway, that's what I have done and don't seem to get much if any dust.

Agreed, Pit Trading = Shitty Fills and Slippage. Why are we the only ones still using Pits, the Europeans don't? Even the NBOT will be offering electronic trading. The Pit Traders are Dinosaurs, soon to be extinct.

Trade your Way to Financial Freedom by Van K. Tharp. I am through about a 1/3 and it is a great book, check out the reviews on amazon.com

I guess you have never suffered from the problem let me clarify. If you use Norton or MacFee and then try to delete it off your hard drive good luck. I will not do a clean uninstall like most programs. It leaves embedded files on your HD. You will have to most likely contact Symentac for help to...

I use avast, low on resources, unlike AVG-Grisoft, it auto updates and pops trojan/virus warnings. Damn it, I shouldn't have been on that porn site, just bored with no signals! Do not use MacAfee or Norton ever! They embed themselves on your hard drive, a real bitch to get off.

I am starting my day trading career small with 5k, once I can prove it to myself that I can make money consistently, I will probably go to 10-20k. For now let it earn 4.5% in the bank. When I get good and have a tradomg account with 100k plus I will probably pull most of the money out and...

I am right now, and my two trading buddies do too. Buy a used one off of E bay from Hypercomm systems I think $120 USD approx. Their comm. is poor but my card arrived and works well. I run 3 screens my buddies 4 and all is fine. Dan

No prolem SSB, you just copy and past your username and password from CME to CBOT. Velocity will probaly give you a 2 week trial on the sim w/o funding an accnt. They did for me. Call Anthony, he is a nice guy, no attitude, and has 5 years exp with TT/X Trader. Dan

You could buy GLD shares that track Gold or a Perth Mint Cert, which has a 2% comm on it.

My buddy/mentor is a long time pro trader that is Canadian. Canadian laws protect canucks trading even when trading through an American firm so don't worry. You may want to check this yourself since its your money. My buddy uses Velocity in the US and he can use anyone he wants. For...

Velocity Futures has X Trader, an excellent electronic only markets platform with a great dome/ladder. I use them myself. They charge $5.75 RT not $70. $70 is ridiculous. They aren't into hand holding though, but will provide some assistance. ProActive Futures in NY is supposed to be pretty...

I bought my Dell with XP Home and upgraded to XP Pro no problem, but I would recommend doing a fresh install not an upgrade. When you buy a mass marketed PC they put alot of crap on the HD. I wish I would have just done a fresh install of XP Pro. Otherwise delete the aol and crap on the HD and...

Agreed Gnome, Being new to trading and this board I bought my Dell with onboard video, bad idea, I finally had to disable in bios and wipe out all drivers to get my Matrox drivers to work correctly. Plus when you buy a comp. with onboard you must disable to get your new video card to work so...

I bought a Dell for trading 6 months ago through Costco, pretty good deal and 6 month return no questions asked, also came with 3 year Punjabi support line. :p Seriously their support is pretty bad, I figured it out myself quicker. The guy in Argentina, whom quoted me a dual head video card...

I had the same problem with my Dell with onboard video, real bad for trading. You have to go into net bios and disable onboard video, there is a setting you wil just have to look around at bit. Good luck. Also you may need to wipe out the video drivers for everything except the dual card you are...

I am hoping for a pullback to $500 ish and then I will unload some of my USD. I think gold is golden to 750 at least, but there will be pullbacks.

Kiwi Trader, Have you actually ran them side by side to see what is more timely/accurate data? I am not in love with E signal and I can't stand the price, but I am leery of moving to IB data.

Big Hog, Check your facts. Velocity is $5.75 RT for e minis and Global is $.4.75 as advertised on this thread. How is that the same? I have an account with Velocity and they are good. I heard TT was done today, hmm? I was running another platform so I can't confirm or deny. My only...

No offense trainr, but I don't want to give out their name. They are a small IB in Chicago and I could see them getting inudated with questions about TI which is going to hurt people like me on customer service side. If you are interested in Traders International then call them up. They offer...
