    Myths Regarding Optimizing Windows XP + Optimizing

    Interesting but not 100% correct. For example, if you use Superspeed Ramdisk then XP 32 can benefit from more than 3G of RAM and thus a page file on the ramdisk will operate outside of the 3G limit nullifying the argument.

    When your system overrides work...

    FWIW I trade in a semi-discretionary manner now, automating only elements of the strategy. The reason I do this is that I haven't been able to figure out to get an automated version of what I do to qualify "context" properly. I like the automation that I have because it frees my time and...

    IB developers suck, I can't trade FX with IB

    As everyone knows, I don't whinge about IB. I love em. And, God forgive me, I even like TWS. But it would be very nice if the handling of Fx position display and reporting was changed to make it more "contract like" instead of blurring all the boundaries.

    Computer for trading

    I didn't see a description of your trading style, apps, number of charts etc or where you might take it. Basically most trading apps don't need much compared with the top end of the range. So for normal (not automated high frequency trading) uses then Landis's comment about internet...

    Widescreen vs Square Monitors

    Widescreens can become Narrow-High Screens if that format works better for you.

    Windows 7

    Windows 7 is Vista 2 or Vista the way it was meant to be. Even the early betas were better than Vista. The latest ones have been getting the user testing that Vista got by going live - notice how many copies MS gave away free and for how long. So the "stick with Vista (the alpha) until...

    I bet the best traders on ET do this...

    Its an interesting bet but you will lose. Why? Not because psychology isn't important but because its only important at certain phases. So once one has moved past the "I" can't do it phase then unless you have a particular interest in psych there is no need to spend time there. Look...

    Suggestion to IB

    The "I already have an account" demo mode is good. I've been using it to test strategies and its very close to the final results. The "show me TWS" demo mode is just for doing that - nothing else as IB doesn't want to be a free data provider, even delayed to non-customers.

    Is it legal for IB to do this? Considering pressing a charge...

    1 post suggests someone who has multiple ids and just dug up one of the old ones they invested in. It would be funny if the OP was silly enough to waste their money with litigation though. Always good to make the lawyers richer.
