Check out your local chamber of commerce. I became an independant computer consultant last year so I had to get my own health insurance back then. From what I have gathered it is one of the cheapest ways to get it when you are self employed. Garet

Magna, I had the same problem on one of my win2k machines. I have two machines (One with a linksys and one with a dlink) When I installed the latest java and the latest tws on the linksys machine I got the bsod. I then installed java/tws on the dlink machine and it worked great. I...

niner, Make sure it is really 2 way without a modem. DirectPC from direct tv uses a modem - download speed is fast using the satellite but your upload speed uses the modem. 2 way systems are very expensive so I would be cautious about what they tell you. Do you have any more details on the...

Actually, you could open a margin account with $2000 and get 4-1. See my other post under direct access brokers.

Hi, I just got an email from Datek on how they are handling the new rules. They are offering all margin accounts 4-1. I stil haven't opened an ib account. This makes the choice a little harder. Below is the email contents: GaretJax On September 28, 2001, new NASD/NYSE day trading...

Thanks Fohat. Yes I ran into the nextrend limitation last night - only 4 indicators per chart for the free version. The subscription version allows 16. I will probably trial the qql for a month since I really can't get a good feel without playing with it - I really like that nextrend allows...

Fohat, According to their websites (QQL and Nextrend) QQL has 21 indicators and Nextrend has 34. Does QQL have more than what is listed on the site. I am a newbie and right now I am mainly using bollinger bands, stochastic, RSI, and Parabolic SAR. According to their websites QQL does not...

I have been playing with Nextrend. The charts are really excellent - a big improvement compared to datek/quotetracker that I have been using. The scanner is weak - datek's realtime scanner is better (you can use criteria like % above/below ema etc) but it is the charts that are the bread and...

Thanks guys. I am downloading nextrend to check it out now. I also received tc2000 in the mail today so I will compare them. Interesting that nextrend has picked up several brokers and intergrated with them. I wonder if IB is considering it. GaretJax

TradeRX, Have you used nextrend's scanner? I am interested in what indicators can be used for scanning. Thanks - GaretJax

I am looking at using IB and I need real time charting/scanning software to go with it. I am a newbie and want to keep my costs down which rule out realticK and esignal. Any comments on these or other suggestions: Nextrend - Charting/Scanning/datafeed $79 a month TC2000 - Charting/Scanning...

For those of you that use IB what data provider/charting software do you use? I am looking at IB/NextTrend which will give me data/charting/screening for $79 a month. TerraNova has realtick at $60 a month after 20 trades and charting as well. Unfortunately there websited isn't very...

I understand where you are coming from. I traded options for awhile and it was hard to describe techniques to options trading newbies. Most of them don't last very long. I usually never held more that 2 or 3 days - sort of an options swing trader. I used no technical analysis while i was...

Turuk, I welcome all advice. I am paper trading now while I watch nvda etc. until I learn the ins and outs of ecn routing etc. I have traded stocks since 94 but I was always long ie holds of at least two weeks or more. Intraday trading and swing trading is new to me. I can see that those...

Hi MGB, My initials are also MGB and I am in the same boat as you are. I am a high tech guy and I will be unemployed tuesday. I have dabbled in trading for awhile and I am going to try doing it full time while I wait for the high tech world to turn around. I am on the east coast (outside...

Aranha, That is a major ripoff. You could easily build that yourself for much less money $1380 to be exact without even shopping for the lowest prices. I build all my pc's. Here is an idea using the same parts (all from newegg.com unless noted) but if you searched pricewatch you could get...

I have an ati radeon ve running a 19" crt and a 17.4 lcd and it works great. I picked it up at best buy for $99. The lcd is a Planar 17.4" using a dvi connection at 1280x1024 and it is really sharp - it make the crt look out of focus in comparision and the crt is a good one (NEC 950FP). Garet
