One of the reasons I liked DSL better than cable for trading is because you don't have to share bandwidth with anybody. Cable will give you a higher speed, but the pipe is shared by the users on it. This means that the more subscribers they have, the less bandwidth each subscriber gets. The...

At which point does it hang up and wait... is it while you have the big Windows screen or after the desktop appears?

This is what I was going to suggest.

Signal will degrade substantially with distance. If you want to spend a bit of money, there are better solutions than having a stiff VGA cable running across your house.

The service is location dependent. I used them in Chicago and they were outstanding. I think the connection pinged from my apartment on Ohio St and Michigan Ave to the CBOT building at 10 ms consistently. I never had to call in any problems and they moved the service from one apartment to...

Sounds like your motive is exactly the type that will guarantee you a loss of your money. Don't walk in with expectations for $$. You will be badly disappointed. You should come into trading because you think it is the type of challenge that will intrigue you and that you can overcome. The $$...

Interesting. I never thought of that. So you only have one drive connected at a time so that nothing can transfer the infection from one drive into the other. Great idea.

I use my trading machine for nothing but to trade. Fortunately, I use a private T-1 for trading activity. Even if I had to trade over the internet, I would configure the router to only accept packets from the trading firm's network and block out everything else. It is worth while at the current...

Can anyone recommend any futures clearing firms in or around San Diego? Thanks.

You can set this up as a study and plot it underneath your chart.

Come on, Nitro...... Greenspan say inflation is completely under control and is hovering at only around 2%. I'm in the DC area and I haven't seen housing prices double every 3 years.... what the hell are you talking about man? :D PS: Being sarcastic. I never understood where inflation is at...

I wish I could discuss them here. They are not what is being discussed here. He handles some large accounts with on and off-floor traders. The traders he has are very well capitalized (some of the biggest guys in the wheat, 10's, etc pits). He says that although this year has been unusually slow...

It sounds like you all should get together and find office space. I am sure that the synergy of all these traders (equities, futures, etc) will be beneficial to each one of you. The kicker is to make people commit to the office space through some sort of a lease agreement or contract for a...

I have a friend who was with Altea and is looking for a trading room to trade at in San Diego. Does anyone have any contacts? Thanks.

I don't get the same numbers from my accountant. He handles some of the biggest gorillas in Chicago's pits as well as others who have been in it for a while. The stats that he and I have discussed earlier this summer don't sound at all like Green's. I think that stats will give you whatever you...

Your Planar PL191M are all LCD displays. The specs for your monitor can be found here: http://www.planar.com/Products/Print_layout_1_951_951.html They are a bit older and less bright than the ones that are coming out now, but they are definitely not plasma displays. You will get 60Hz as...

I'm sorry that you are going thru this. Your experience presents a special problem many of the prop shops currently hiring. Your experience, as successful as you might be right now, presents "baggage" that many times must be retrained out of your system before you can "fit in". Many props have...

Sorry man, but this must be one of the un-coolest posts I have seen in some time. That is just not funny to say about anyone here.

Why? Do you think they are broadcasting anything of value? :)

It can do that on oil tomorrow. That's just 50 pts away. Hard to tell. It does seem to close to ignore though.
