For you other options traders... As I always like to peruse "other" option trading sites just to see what other traders are offering, and just to see if there are any other "nuggets" of info I might find that I don't already know (been trading options for 12 years), has anyone been to or...

I know SSF have only traded for 1 day, but has anyone tried playing the SSF against the stock to make a tick or two. I tracked Dell for example yesterday on my TWS with IB and you could have easily bought Dell stock many times for $.02 cheaper than the bid on the SSF for Dell. Buy Dell at...

Janko, Sounds like we are running parallel lives. I too daytrade the QQQ options in the same manner as you thru IB. I'm trying to find my groove with trading the e-mini nasdaq futures thru pattern recognition, support & resistance levels, etc. So until I can do that profitably, I will...

Hi all, Can anyone tell me if options trading (stock or index options) are subject to pattern day trade requirements? I always thought they were immune and that only stocks were subject to the rules. I'm having option orders rejected in my IB TWS today for "potential pattern day trade"...

Thanks for the advice guys. I do have another problem though. I have one pc with win98SE and my other pc is win95. I've been told that you can't share an internet connection in any form if you're using win95. You must have at least win98SE to share an internet connection. So my next...

ok guys, what linksys router do you use? There seems to be so many different varieties? Does it matter if I just pick the cheapest plain old router? Thanks.

Hi all, I'm trying to share my 1 cable internet connection with 2 separate side by side pc's. I've got a netgear 4-port hub and was told that I could share the 1 internet connection by using a hub. Well, it doesn't seem to work. I can get 1 pc connected to the internet but the other pc...

peterhill, recently sent you a message. check your elitetrade inbox.

Is this the kind of deal offered by Nextrade? Anyone heard of them or trade with them? I've been told that rebates from them is one way some of their traders make money, even if they slightly lose on their actual trading results. If they do the volume, it will sometimes overcompensate for...

Peterhill, Check your elitetrader e-mail box. I sent you a message.

Hey all, Got some general (somewhat newbie) questions about the internet and how it interacts with your pc. 1. Can anyone on the web see what websites I'm surfing? If so, how can I avoid that? I'm tired of getting unwanted e-mails from companies and advertisers who've somehow seen what...

Meetoxx, fair enough... does it have a name, is it for sale, lease?

Mettoxx, What kind of software are you using to trade your multiple systems? (if you care to answer). Thanks

How do you guys trade multiple systems at the same time? Do you manually execute them when you get the signals , or do you have software that will execute all your systems for you when signals are generated (so you don't have to be glued to the screen or wait for alerts)?

Gnome, Thanks again for the advice. I managed to get the mouse wheel to work after talking to the ATI tech guys. All it took was for me to go into control panel and tweak the mouse settings. Something must've got changed around when I initially installed the new ATI drivers. All's well...

When I read somewhere that you should make sure your "system and/or display adapter supports multiple monitor setup", is that telling me that my initial AGP video card and/or my new PCI video cards might not be able to work in conjunction with another video card? I know that win98 has multiple...

Gnome, Thanks for confirming the window dragging for me. Seems a bit tedious to have to resize each window before dragging it, eh? So it seems the only thing bugging me now is my mouse wheel not working. I'll check for new drivers and invest in Norton System Works. Seems like a good...

Thanks for the reply. Here's another question as I'm trying to get used to this multiple monitor thing. If I want to drag an open application from one monitor to the other, the window has to be in the "restore" mode and can't be dragged when the window is maximized? This is what I find...

Just thought I'd let everyone know who helped me out with a multiple monitor setup that I've accomplished the task so far. I installed a 2nd single monitor card on my win98 system for a total of 2 monitors. I know this may seem elementary for some, but I think it was a good step for me. I was...

Thanks for the replys. Apparently the Dell tekkies didn't realize you could do multiple monitors on win98 systems (after I showed them some websites that explains it all). I guess my question comes down to: 1. Leave my Nvidia Riva TNT2 32MB M64 AGP card installed in the AGP slot, and...
