There are start button replacements (better than the original) But personally I'd recommend not putting one on for 2-3 weeks to see if you stop wanting it. The crazy screen (press win key) is easy to customize (move em around, get rid of them, press the little - sign at the bottom right of...

I've enjoyed the thread so far. To my surprise I got an insight from one of the participants that has enhanced my trading - the first time that's happened on a board in several years. I also enjoyed marketsurfer doing pretty much what would be expected of him ... and then going into anti-ta...

Thanks to you guys for this thread. Interesting both in the outcomes and the discussion. I'd just like to suggest, Maverick, that maybe its not so much the sports analogies that work - its the mindset and thinking patterns you can develop in playing sports that work. People who didn't learn...

I have used antivir and others but was using Comodo (firewall, defender and anti-virus). I got a little sick of the constant chatter and did some research starting from this thread. Now I'm using Windows 7's own firewall and have added Panda Cloud Antivirus (free version). The result is...

Another vote for standalone. Browser is for experiments and people who cant install the standalone for some reason (trading from work?)

I believe that method 2 in the attached paper works just as well with win 7 and 8 as it did with xp. Clean and simple, basically windows comes up, not knowing its disk environment and does the logical thing ... regenerates it :) I would image my drive before I did it. The aforementioned...

Something simpler to consider maybe. IB's TWS and Gateway both work well with Sierra Chart. You don't need to pay much and you get a lot. SC will give you a nice dll trading interface for trading multiple symbols and multiple accounts while handling the graphical side for you. I've found...

Here's the thing. I've been an IB customer for 10+ years and ... what you asked for is exactly what they provided for me. I don't ask for support much but when I needed it I got it (1 phone call when a flood took out our local exchange and a few minors dealt with on the chat). A number...

Because everyone trades the Osaka or SGX contracts. Why bother with a lame duck version.

Hes just another vendor sucking newbies in. http://goo.gl/ll5Nq

Have a good life post ET NoDoji. It's too short to deal with some of the strange internet enabled behaviour we see here. Unless you enjoy it. :)

You could measure accuracy by doing a statistical analysis of price vs the ma ... perhaps sqrt of average distance squared. Smoothness wouldn't be too hard either. If you look at them hull tends to overshoot a bit and jmas don't so it makes sense. The real question here is what do you...

PLEASE NOTE: The OP said he made the call yesterday. In fact he made it a month ago ... and hmmm ... its gone up since then.

Interestingly ES so did I but I voted differently back then to how I would now. I used to say it wasn't gambling but having understood poker gambling I now agree that it is gambling. In either are skill and discipline will always beat rookie attitudes and luck in the long run. The pro takes...

173 pages ... and it comes down to ... if gambling is "taking a risk" then trading is gambling if its for fun/thrill then they are probably both financially losing propositions if its done with an edge, discipline, and management of thoughts, feelings and actions then its likely...

Actually I can lend my book to someone else, even legally. On resale of books, I never got much for the ones I took to the book exchanges. And given the saving on kindle vs paper books that probably makes up that gap anyway and then some.

And I repeat. If you don't like IB; fuck off Tom you genious !

Now if one is going to rant one should at least read the posts in ones own psycho-thread. Everyone else seems to have caught up. Its resources not bandwidth. And as I used to say to the twats in the old days -- if you don't like IB then fuck off somewhere else. The less time they...

My hardware is simple (intel, gigabyte boards, 8G ram, SSD, Disk, no raid, no ecc so really your target "home" system). I turned aero off in w7 so it was off for 8 too - the tiles will be interesting for tablets but I just clicked the one that takes it to a normal interface and stay in that...

Sadly I think you'll be waiting forever. The market share is too small. If you want the best in class you need to run Windows 7 now and Windows 8 next year (it seems that for traders W8 will mainly be a slightly cleaned up version of w7 - my impression so far). Macs don't offer the...
