    Trading from Koh Samui ?

    I hear it is virtally impossible to get a 1 year B or O from the UK Thai Embassy. Visa issuence has a large element of discretion so it varies at each Embassy. Some are paranoid about a foreign stealth takeover of Thailand it seems. You need all the correct paperwork to get a 3 month B or O at...

    Trading from Koh Samui ?

    For Thailand, if you are from a western country you can get a 4x3 month non immigrant B or O from a Thai consulate in your country. In US it's any of them other than the actual embassy in LA apparently. Same with UK, Consulates will give you a B or O, Embassy in London sems reluctant to issue...

    eSignal RAISING FEE'S AGAIN!!?!?? WTF

    Competitors are focussing too much on ESignals obvious defects of poor reliability, overpricing, and annoying pricing tactics (just about everything is an extra with an extra charge). If competitors want to take business away from eSignal they should also work harder at making 3rd party apps...

    Monitoring 200 stocks w/ alerts based on price

    If it is only price alerts then Quotetracker with RT feed will do that. I found eSignal clumsy and overpriced for this. Data corruption was another issue.

    Trading from Koh Samui ?

    Bangkok. The pollution acts as a filter to block out some of the suns rays and the internet is faster than in the provinces.

    Trading from Koh Samui ?

    Thailand may (may) improve in the near future as there may finally be some progress on freeing up the CAT monopoly on the inernational gateway. In addition to proxies you have the ISP shaping the traffic and then the CAT presumably shaping it again, in addition to reliability issues. ADSL will...

    Yes. When you transfer funds you need to ensure that you are issued with a form stating that the funds came from overseas to ensure hassle free repatriation of your monster profits. As you are long term I would recommend Seamico as they routinely deal with these expat issues. Boom.HK.com is an...

    Seamico would be a very good choice for someone located outside of Thailand and doing non platform intensive trading/investing. Flawless service (very rare amongst Thai brokers) and Expat friendly. Phillip https://www.poems.in.th/home.asp probably have the best "platform" for ST trading and...

    I did it!...I just configured and ordered a Athlon Dual Core from CyberPowerSystems

    Yep that's another option. Thx Trying to work out if I can get away with adding an old corporate box for RS or if current 3Gz P4/2GB RAM must become the RS box on the LAN for 1 market with Dual core for RS on another market + trading apps/charting. Sounds like comlplete overkill but I want to...

    I did it!...I just configured and ordered a Athlon Dual Core from CyberPowerSystems

    Quick question on dual core as you guys seem ahead of me in your knowledge. Q Is dual core useable with any software or does it have to be written for dual core (which is the situation with hyperthreading as I understand it) e.g would it be pointless buying a dual core to run Radarscreen on...

    Upper limits for Radarscreen 2000i and Excel DDE

    Maxpi, quick question, what kind of PC Spec i.e. CPU RAM are you using to handle 1300 symbols. Don't want to spend on 2 x 3.4GHz + 4GB RAM if an old 1 GHz with 1 GB will do it...........

    Upper limits for Radarscreen 2000i and Excel DDE

    Curious if anyone knows what the upper limits are for RS2000i* and DDE if the processing power is there. Or put it another way, Can RS realistically track 2000 symbols with 5 fields? Also interested in upper limits for Excel/DDE with 3 levels of Bid/offer and a simple alghorithm. *1000 with...

    Tradestation. Yes or No?

    Very powerful - Radarscreen gives you your life back - can be made to do much more than tell you when e.g RSI is overbought.
