For anyone who wants to respond: I thought I'd give it a go and try to install 1 or more video cards into my win98 system (I know I should have win2k), so I could have 3 monitors instead of one. Before purchasing the other video cards, I thought I'd call Dell (my pc maker) and ask them some...

JWKirkland, Good idea. Thanks. If I do this, what do you know about having 1 pc with 1 type of video card (my initial Nvidia single monitor card) and having a Matrox dual or quad video card alongside it? Will there be any conflicts because of 2 separate video cards with 2 different...

Since I know at this point I should upgrade to at least win2k or winXP for my multiple monitor setup, how hard is it to just install winXP on my previous win98 system? Not being too computer savvy, I'm not sure whether to just buy a brand new pc with everything I need pre-installed or try to...

Thanks to all who have given their input on this subject. Very informative. Since I am running win98, it seems that upgrading to win2000 is the best move. Is there anyway to get a new pc these days with win2000 instead of winXP pre-installed?

Hello all, Trying to get confirmation on the delta hedge ratio when playing QQQ options vs. the Nasdaq E-mini futures (NQ). If I were to buy 1 NQU2 e-mini future, how many QQQ put options should I buy to totally offset either using an at-the-money QQQ option, or a very deep-in-the-money...

Great replies and info so far. This is great free education. Still wondering what the difference is (if it matters), whether to use an AGP or PCI multi monitor card? Just shows how little I really know about computer details. Thanks to everyone who's responded.

Would it be better to buy 2 Matrox G450 Dual cards instead of 1 G200 MMS Quad? Seems to make more sense financially. Do I want to use PCI or AGP? Thanks all.

JWKirkland, Thanks for the info. I'm very new at this so can you explain the "quad" specs that you refer to. Where in the specs or the features of the video card should I look for the word "quad"? Any recent articles or magazines that would help with this (if you follow any) Much...

Thanks for the replies so far. It seems that the Matrox brand has some good options for me. I'd like to stick with win98 as they have cards compatible with win98. Any thoughts on the Matrox Millenium G450 series? Unfortunately there are different levels to the G450, so I still need to sift...

Hello all, I've really come to appreciate this website as I've gotten more useful info than ever could be imagined. I want to make the jump from a single monitor to multiple monitors (at least 2 or 3 total) to help with my trading. So I'm looking for some advice. I'm using a PIII 750 MHZ...

I think all my wisdom was lost while getting up at 3 a.m. the last 4 years to trade on Hawaii time, which is 6 hours behind EST.

Don, Adding on to this thread about opening a local Bright office. I am moving to the Orlando, Florida area from the island of Kauai, Hawaii and was wondering about any prop shops there. I have been in the markets for 12 years trading futures, futures options, stocks, and stock options. I...

Anyone know of this software platform called The Shield? If so, which brokers offer it? I think I've heard of Noble Trading having it. Comments appreciated.

thanks bullmarket79

Looking for that funny CNBC clip that was posted recently that's overdubbed with the Wassup dialogue. Anyone have the link. Thanks

Scott J, Esignal has an operating presence in Hawaii? That's where I am.

Scott, I've heard that reply from esignal before about the taxes, but yet like I said, I've never been charged taxes from any other vendor and I've been living in the same state everytime I try a new vendor. Does it really matter where the vendor is headquartered?

Anyone know why esignal has taxes added to their subscription fees for the service plus taxes on the exchange fees? Every other data feed vendor I've tried has never added taxes onto the subscription. Am I missing something?

Any prop offices in the Orlando area? Any input is appreciated.
