    Trader Monthly

    That's me too. (Well, not the toilet paper part. Eww!) I've never paid a cent for it and seeing the pics of the well healed always helps to imagine the money trading can generate. Not that I want a 40K watch, but it'll sure be damn nice to be able to afford one.

    amazed no one is talking about this Sunday's YM move to CME Globex from eCbot?

    Am I reading this right to mean once the conversion occurs, in order to trade the YM, ES and NQ, one would only require the CME data feed, and not the CBOT data feed at all? It seems obvious, but I just want to make sure.

    Raised fees will kill the YM

    As a Tradestation user, I got this email today. Which sucks ass. But I wonder if since YM is going to Globex if the CBOT fees won't matter at all? I wonder if the current CME fees will also then include the YM...

    Wiring for a trading computer

    The wire from the wall to the DSL 'modem' isn't that big of a deal. Use a good quality phone cable (if it's new service from ATT, the modem should have included a phone cable) and you'll be fine. Any wiring concerns you might ever deal with would be inside your wall wiring. If it's an old house...

    When is YM going to be on Globex?

    I know the CME Group says by 'the end of January 2008' according to their very old press releases. Anybody heard anything specific?

    Did I screw this up...

    Doubtful. It worked until you installed new drivers. Could it be underpowered? Sure, 375 running two cards? That's not enough. But did that cause the card to die at that exact moment you put in new drivers? Doubtful. And this isn't a Windows problem, since it doesn't even boot...

    Did I screw this up...

    baller1069, your MB have onboard video? Even if it sucks display wise, if you pull the video card, you *might* be OK, unless the onboard video in disabled in bios. Newer MBs will disable the onboard when it senses a video card, but will work fine when there's no card. An idea....

    Did I screw this up...

    Unsure since I've never seen this firsthand. But, if it won't boot AT ALL, I'd see about borrowing or buying some cheap cheap cheap card to see if the PC will boot at all. Then if so, thinking about buying a new card. Sucks I realize, but if it won't even boot............

    Did I screw this up...

    This exact thing happened to a buddy of mine after he downloaded and installed MS recommended (Windows Update) video drivers for his card. They fried the card. Completely. To the point the PC wouldn't boot at all. Not even a bios beep so he couldn't run his CD based recovery media. The...

    Email software that updates every second

    Your post said "updates every second." That means Active Sync or an Exchange server. Now you say every 5 seconds. Which is it?

    Email software that updates every second

    Ignoring the inevitable posts to follow that will ask you WHY? You will need an Exchange server and Outlook (full, not Express) as your server/client. The instant the Exchange server receives it, a connected Outlook will show the message. No Send/Receive necessary. There are lots of web...

    Question about Mac/PC internet speed

    Well, you're definitely on the right track if you wanted to keep messing with it. But a RWIN that big is not better. It just ends up causing packet loss and resends. But that's why it's a crap shoot for your particular system. That said, I do believe there is an FAQ on dslreports that takes...

    Question about Mac/PC internet speed

    What about the RWIN of XP? Since Mac's aren't subjected to the Receive Window hangups, perhaps a good ole Dslreports.com Tweak Test then running Dr TCP and resetting the RWIN and rebooting would do the trick?

    A day that will live in infamy.

    Nice Animal House reference! Bluto:What?! Over? Did you say over? NOTHING is over until WE decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? HELL, NO! Otter: Germans? Boon: Forget it, he's rolling. Bluto: It ain't over now! For when the goin' gets...

    I Quit

    So if I read between the lines correctly... In the beginning, you had a method that worked really really well given the market conditions at that time. Then the crash happened and what worked in the beginning stopped working. You continued to use this method against a changing market and...

    Dell PC... Upgrade From XP Home to XP Pro

    Isn't there a COA and activation problem with this since anybody else's PC clearly isn't the same PC that the disc was first installed on? Or does a reinstall Dell OEM disc not in any way need activation?
