I know what I would do. I would get the degree of my choice and get on with making money for all of the years of study. One can always go back to school at a later time or change the field of work.

I got a mechanical engineering degree in 1967 and then spent 18 years working in the design and manufacturing of nuclear power systems. There were about 100 engineers in my group. Of the 100 engineers, 3 were hired by what is now UBS to work in market related function. I know these three...

I think magneto optical drive optical disk have a life of 20 years minimum. MO disk are reasonably priced but the MO drives are a bit pricey.

I did not sleep well last night due to thinking about this tax reporting issue. Thank you Lakefront for the information. I will sleep better tonight.

There is nothing like doing the research for making a bid for Refco to stimulate IB's interest in offering pit traded futures. I am sure IB learned much in their Refco discovery. For one thing, I think IB learned that submitting a winning bid for Refco was not the best use of IB's well earned...

Electricsavant: Thank you for the info and link. I will file this information in case I need to replace one of my IBM model M boards.

I have been using Comcast in Chattanooga TN for about two years. For about the last month my connection is dropped on an average of three times a day. Some days could be dropped six times. I may be able to obtain a reconnection in three minutes or it may be hours. I have long since quit calling...

That was not the case for me. I had TWS 851.6 or 851.7 on two different PCs and had to upgrade TWS on both PCs in order to receive any data of any kind. I did figure out why I could no longer receive the "Realized Profit and Loss" in the account portfolio window. The upgrade cleared the "Show...

There was no advance warning about the upgrade. I opened TWS this morning to find I was not receiving data even though the pop-up message said I had until 11-14-05 to do the upgrade.??? I did the upgrade and now the "Realized Profit and Loss" no longer function in my account window.??? This is...

I second this solution. I bought the same quad card from eBay and run 9 monitors on one of my PCs using a single AGP card and two Matrox 200mm quad cards. This has worked great. I bought two spare Matrox 200mm quad cards for backup just in case I had a card failure. I have used one of the backup...

I am sure Def will not be pressured into "stepping out of the field of play".

RealTick has worked great for me for years.

On boot-up of PC, look in the bios settings and be sure the selected display mode matches the card you are using (PCI or AGP). I hope you can get to work. The seller on eBay may not have test it on a PC with Windows or did try it and did not get it to work on a PC with Windows. The product...

I have bought several Matrox quad cards via eBay. I have always avoided any cards made by Matrox for other vendors. I have seen many of these cards that were made for Compaq that the eBay ad stipulated that the driver could be obtained from Compaq. For me, I do not need to know any more as I...

Three or four years back, I was paying several hundred dollars a day in commissions. I decided I was paying too much in commissions; So, I decided I needed to quit playing "market maker" and trade less but trade smarter. I have been trading since 1972 and I hope I am still learning. I still keep...

One of my brokers gives me the rebates when I provide liquidity. What I have found is that when I provide liquidity, I am more likely to be a looser because I did not get the trade I needed when I needed it. For me, the most important thing to determine is when and what direction a security is...

Not a high priority fix, but I do think the "Toggle Help" will be a nice feature when fixed. Thank you for your reply.

I also agree it sucks. I can not even adjust the column widths without this annoying feature interrupting. Tried to use the "Toggle Help" selection, but it does not function. I am using TWS 851.6. Does TWS 851.7 correct this problem?

Bob: Sorry about you problems. Did you remove all shortcuts to TWS 4.0 (normally one on desktop and one in start > Programs > Trader Workstation 4.0) before downloading and installing TWS 851.7? If so, TWS 851.7 installation should have created new shortcuts correctly provided Java 1.4 had been...

I am beginning to think the problem is TWS 851 can not properly update a TWS from as far back as TWS 831.4. My TWS upgrade from version 831.4 to version 851.6 shows only the "Default (Current Workspace)" where you are seeing the three options you can choose from.
