Last week I started the challenge to turn my 5k into 10 k in 10 days using options, appreciated your response, although some comments were...well we'll say interesting. I'm up $325 in two days..not too bad. Any fresh ideas on turning 15k into 25k within in the same time frame using equities...

The word I left out of my statement was that these option positions eliminate the variable of "picking" the stock direction when you're on both sides. Any fool understands the underlying instrument has to move for you to gain unless you're selling options or have more complex positions. Lindq...

Hey, Just a suggestion from lessons learned hard.. start very, very slow...and hedge, hedge, hedge. what I mean by this is if you have just 20k to start I would buy a long option straddle or strangle and let the market work for you. Make sure your expiration is atleast 90 days out. The...

Ever since going to three monitors my pointer ever so often simply disappears when I move it in a place to type. Any advice? Im using WIN2k. I have a microsoft intellimouse (wireless), I also have the old dell mouse that came with my workstation. Both are doing the same thing. Rossmedia

Mmmmm. kinda interesting that after being asked to validate his claims via brokerage statments etc..Kronos hasn't posted another comment. I'm not making any judgements as to his success..just find it interesting. Word to the wise..nothing can shut the mouth of a skeptic lion like an evidence...

Any other traders here in Valencia (Santa Clarita VAlley)..? Rossmedia

No, Im not the all or none type just the go for what you know type. I believe in scaling in and out, I'm just saying the highest percentage play is to take what you have when you have it, that is the surest way to extend your trading life. One cliche is profoundly true.."no one ever went broke...

fast trader you're right, early exits can limit your acct growth but in my estimation aiming for the torso is wiser than aiming for the head. If my acct is growing nicely I can't really concern myself with trying to sqeeze out every dime, that will always get you.

We've all heard "cut your losses and let your winners run"..while this is conceptually true there is a bit missing from this cliche. I, like many of you, have had a position that has been substantially in the profit and under the banner of letting the winner run have seen it turn on me never to...

The 3rd monitor isn't there. The two there are on the same card

I have three monitors hooked up to two dual Matrox g450 PCI video cards. When I go to dispaly monitors properties only 2 show up. The third monitor is on but the mouse won't scroll back and forth to it. How do I get the third monitor to show up in the monitor setting so that I can move easily...

Hans, Do you mean the Tradease Platinum platform?

Thanks, really appreciate the input. ross

Of all the platforms I've used (about 4) I found Hammer to be the most effective execution platform overall. Is there a model platform that Hammer emulates? What other platform is similar in feel, look, operation. rossmedia

Great, I'm beginning to see the light. Question, the BIOS settings..how do I access them? and if I go and purchase another Matrox card to avoid conflict must I still mess with the Bios settings.. Thank you. Ross

AGP slot?, AGP card? please explain, would that be the slot where my Matrox card is? Also, I use the 3 monitor setup for trading not for and high end graphics or games. I'm not well versed in motherboard, PCI..stuff. Appreciate all the info. If I can't get the 3rd monitor working today I'll...

Does the physical placement of my cards have any consequence on whether they will work or not? ross

Where do I go to downlad a generic VGA driver? ross

BIOS manual?, what and where is that? Please excuse my novice on this. Is there a way I can make my AGP monitor (I'm assuming that is the NVIDIA one) boot first. Your instruction are great, just a bit over my understanding of the whole video thing. rossmedia

I have three monitors. Two of the monitors are on a Matrox G450 dual pci video card. The third on an Nvidia Gforce2 card that is a single monitor card. I can only get the 2 monitors on the Matrox card to work. The comupter always freezes at the startup screen ever since I installed the Nvidia...
