    Centrino Laptops -- powerful enough?

    Eminence: I appreciate the thought. A couple of people have mentioned this and I have made a couple of quick tests with the optical mouse. You are correct in that when you click the center wheel, a scroll "icon" appears on the screen, and then the screen moves when the mouse moves. This problem...

    Centrino Laptops -- powerful enough?

    Hey folks: for the record, I have a Dell Dimension 4550 that I use for trading only. I bought the computer a little less than a year ago on the internet and it came with standard dell keyboard and standard (wired) mouse) all having the dell label. For a monitor I am using a ViewSonic A70F+...

    Justin Mamis and his indicators

    Hello DB: I have not read Mamis books however, I notice that Lowry's suggested recently that A/D is no longer as useful as it used to be. This because almost of half of the listed companies on the NYSE are not operating companies. On Lowery's website they showed an "adjusted" advance/decline...

    Praise For OANDA

    Blah blah blah. Another fantasy. Your trades are non-existent and the only reference I can find for a "Kabir" is a moslem camel thief who was beheaded in the 12th century. Thanks for the continuing entertainment Mr. Gamel, or Mr. Weston, or Saham. "Ladies and gentlemen: I would like to...

    Praise For OANDA

    Yawn: Its really too bad you haven't learned anything from you last experience. Based on what I hear, I think you are a con artist. This reference from Moneytec should help others to put your ridiculous rants in proper context: MoneyTec FX Forums™ - Gamal Ruach Banned? ... Yet MoneyTec...

    Can a System be reverse engineered just from viewing daily trades/account statements?

    Thinking of trying eminis out. Traded Prop Before

    Well, I have to admit, on days like today it is tempting to run out and grab people off the street. It can get pretty quiet. OK then. Why not. Wastrading, forget what I said about being careful and taking it slow. Come on big boy, lets see that bankroll. In fact, if I were you I would jump on...

    Thinking of trying eminis out. Traded Prop Before

    Hi there: I'm glad your risk capital is just "laying about". At $50 a point, it is quite possible that some portion of it will soon be laying about in someone elses account. I say that because I estimate that it will take a while for you to aclimate to the futures market. For one thing it is...

    Esignal - no customer service

    To all posters: I guess that it is a matter of experience, and as I get a little older, I am more cynical and less tolerant of this kind of marketing crap. The truth of the matter is that in meetings, people who make decisions at companies like Signal say to each other, "what can we do...

    Are trades indepenent?

    No problem, thats not a bad question. Take a moment to think about it. The result is you win or you lose. The switch is on, or it is off. The selection of trades is not that simple however. It is based on a point of view, and a selection process that includes some type of indicator, system or...

    Are trades indepenent?

    Hello folks: The answer to the question is that the RESULT of each trade is independent. I assume that the person who asks the question does not have a background in stats, so I wont go into the issues surrounding dependency and covariance. Regarding the question of why you need to scale down...

    how does the computer know what country you're in?

    Hello Corey: Best I can do is point you in a direction that I hope is right. I believe that computers identify themselves with what is called a MAC address (medium acess control). This is an ID that is transmitted from the NIC when you communicate over the internet. If I am correct you need to...

    Traderbrad - Is this worth $7.500.00 ?

    Samson77: I hope this is the worst mistake you make. If losing $4K opens your eyes then it was worth it. You should read some of the responses to my previous posts, where I am called cynical (and worse). On second thought, they may have been removed. I think everyone should have a skeptical...

    Ned Gandevani S&P System

    Wally: I looked into this system a little bit. I think the problem is that it is difficult to gather enough information to develop a sense of confidence in the system or Dr. Gandevani. I suppose you could subscribe to the daily or intraday signals for a limited period to see how things go. I...
