2000i is not sold in the US, it has a history of being buggy (but that might have changed) but has a lot more functionality than TS6. TS7 which is due out next month should have most of 2000i's funcitonality--so I'd go with that. I'm currently using TS6 and like it but am looking forward to...

Thanks a lot guys. :)

The biggest problem with Dell is that they use some proprietary componets that make serious upgrading difficult/impossible. For example, their power supplies and motherboards are made to their own OEM specs, so you can't just go out and buy an aftermarket motherboard and replace what's in there...

I'm about to install IB's TWS software and am wondering which version to go with: stand alone or browser based. BTW, my computer is a little underpowered & I would like to run the Bracket Trader VB app that works with IB. I don't know if these should influence my decision on which version to...

I've never used the IB API so I don't know if you can access fill information with it--if you can't you can't program this feature. In any event, if other platforms, i.e. X-Trader, allow this feature w/o self-programming so should be the case with TWS. It WOULD be a very useful feature/option...

I think what being suggested about bracket trades should be OPTIONAL. Give us CHOICES to decide how our bracket trades will be handled. Because I can see good reasons for both the way they are currently executed and the alternatives that can be found in other platforms like Trading Technologies'...

WELL that sounds like a very good point. Anyone care to respond? Thanks.

Not to be obnoxious, but a lot this is just not correct. The Celeron, P4 and AMD's use the SAME instruction set: 32 bit x86 w/ MMX. If they didn't, they couldn't run the same programs! The difference between the Celeron and P4 is amount of L2 cache on the chip; the P4 has more which means less...

Nihaba, Are there any news sources that you particularly like? Thanks agian--and for pointing out the chart pattern.

Thanks, I just filled out an IB account form today. I'll see how it goes. :)

I was trading the ES today and tried shorting on the dips but the market would rally back--I lost, but could have lost a lot more if I didn't get out pretty quickly. If I had the news going, I probably would have heard that Iraq agree to U2 over flights, and would have had more confidence in the...

:p

I believe that options on ETF's is a grey area that has not been 100% resolved yet (as strange as that might seem).

I've got a TradeStations futures account, but haven't traded it yet. I'm primarily looking to day trade or even scalp. What firm do you use and you "like" them? (It seems like IB is the most popular around here.) Thanks :)

Page 21 of this booklet says it does, but it's from 2001, so I guess the treatment could have changed, but I doubt it. HTH :) http://www.cboe.com/LearnCenter/pdf/TaxesandInvesting.pdf

I'm almost positive 60/40.

But if you're getting a new machine, there really is no reason to not go with XP. It will be around longer than W2K, so why not go with the platform that will be supported, written for and around longer. This will put off as long as possible that inevitable OS upgrade that we all hate to even...

LOL, no I wouldn't.

I'm going w/ a little higher. I know it's not the popular choice, but I'm a contrarian @ heart :) . For more reasoning: people will have had the weekend to get used to the orange alert (assuming & hoping to God nothing happens), they will think this is buying op., Iraq looks like it's starting...

I use SBC Yahoo. I have to say their support is excellent and service very good (hope I didn't just jinx myself :eek: ).
