zboy I have my machine opened up and running. There is a fan in there about 4" in diameter. Is that my CPU fan? It's not running. Could that actually be the problem? I honestly don't know how to check the BIOS settings you mentioned.

Def Concerning level 2 (assuming this idea materializes)--The problem I have sometimes is when I look at a level 2 box, and see an opportunity...then I have to type in the symbol in TWS. A lot of times, by the time I type the symbol in TWS, the opportunity is gone. Or the stock has moved...

Actually, I have an account with OnSite through their Great Neck office, but I live (and trade) in Ohio. Not sure how long I'll give Hold Brothers to come through. Yes, I feel like a guinea pig. I don't know how many remote traders they have, since they only staryed offering remote access...

zboy I've had this same setup for quite a few months, and never had any problems until Graybox. I've tried running Graybox all by itself and still have problems. There are, however, several things running under 'processes' (not applications) in my task manager. None of them appear to be...

klaorman There are certain pulldown menu functions that don't work. I drag the mouse over, and they don't even highlight. It's not all of them, it's just some. For example, when I go to setup to configure my defaults for smart orders, swipes, etc. I can't highlight any of those. What's...

tom p I don't know if you read all the threads, but I've been having problems getting their software working. Here's the thread http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=1446 Start reading with my post on page 1 and read the next 3 posts. Aside from certain functions not...

Yes, Redi Plus

white17 No, my level 2 is still freezing.

Are you teasing us on the level 2? If I could place entries through a level 2 box, I don't think I'd need to find a different broker. It is just very difficult to look at level 2 on one piece of software and trade on another. I miss quite a few trades that way.

I tried Cacheman. Didn't seem to help. Unless there's something you're supposed to do once you're in the program. I just clicked on the icon and ran the program; I'm not sure whether you're supposed to do anything else. One thing I'm noticing is that normally the CPU usage stays fairly...

Baron I loaded and ran pcAnywhere on my multi monitor setup, and it worked fine. Is there a danger of that happening anytime? greydeath What does cacheman do exactly? Do you think I might have a cache problem?

I'm having some problems with some software. I'm working with Hold Bro's (my new broker) to fix the problem, and they think the problem is related to my CPU usage. In my task manager, under 'Performance' my CPU usage is fluctuating wildly. It says 10%, then a second later it's 100%, then 25%...

After a very few frustrating days, I can add one more benefit: computer reliability/compatability. I have wasted the last 2 days trying to get Hold Brothers' software loaded on my computer. After several attempts, it became clear that I needed more space on my C: drive. So I had to remove all...

white17 Are you referring to my level 2 freezing when the market gets fast? I'll keep an eye on that over the next several days and see what happens.

Thanks all for the help. macal425 (and anyone else with this same problem) Here's what I had to do to fix the problem: I installed Partition Magic. Apparantly I didn't have enough disk space for the whole operation. The program itself is 28MB, and it takes another 50MB or so to switch...

I wanted to start a new thread here so as not to get off topic on the 'Great New Pattern' thread. I'm really intrigued about a post from Praetorian about a block trade that occurred after hours on 6/4. It was NIKU 3.6 million shares at .97. I couldn't find it on time & sales. I can't find...

I think the most important question to ask first is what timeframe you're considering. If you're looking to scalp, or trade fast markets, paper trading will tell you almost nothing, because so much depends on getting filled. If on the other hand, you're trading longer moves, like 1/2 hour to a...

me too

praetorian How did you get NIKU at .97? I checked t&s. I don't see anything under 1.07. Did someone sell 3.6 million shares 10% under the going price? That's well over a $300,000 loss if they did.

The problem is, most of the stuff on my C drive was already on there when I got the computer. For example, I have Office 2000 on there, which is about 80MB. I can't remove that from C, because I don't have any disks available to reinstall it on D. I'm guessing I have only about 30MB of stuff I...
