No, I'm not particularly picky on cpu since I've been on this workstation for years and its only a Xeon processor. Looks like the workstations are out of my range... Joe had suggested GeForce GTX 550 or the ATI Radeon 6850, as both have 2 DVI inputs. Maybe I could run the 4 screens on one of...

Thanks for pointing that out. Noise is big problem with my dell workstation... want to avoid it at all costs... Not sure what to do anymore, it looked like the HP H8qe was only machine that could support two cards (expandable power supply to 600w) but it comes with these gamer cards... does...

that sounds interesting Joe, will definitely look into it. My fear is that the power supply might not be enough on one of the home desktops to support a card like that, but will look into it. How many monitors do you have on that setup?

This is my current system: running 4 screens. 2 of those are on an NVDA Quadro PCI E and are connected in the back via a VGA splitter head to 2 dell monitors. And the quality of the image (different image) has been ok for me. The other two are on an NVDA GEforce FX 5200. So am I...

Am looking at possibly upgrading my current Dell Precision Workstation with this HP H8qe: http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/computer_series.do?storeName=computer_store&category=desktops&series_name=h8qe_series&a1=Usage&v1=Business which comes with 2 PCIe (x16), 1 PCIe (x4), 1 PCIe...

I do, I'm long that and think it's going much higher over long term. :cool:

Tom, Thanks for sharing your story, makes a lot of sense, good fundamentals there. How do you usually eat the nuts and seeds? I've found that adding some raisings/cranberries to walnuts and almonds helps stomach them down. Really helps with digestion too! Also, do you think anything...

shopster, Most if not all the trades you've shown hit your full pull target. Can you show us a few that didn't hit the target and how you managed the trade? Thx.

Amazing... thanks Tom for the link.

Rashid, Chalk it up to FOMC for the sluggishness. Prob best not to trade on those days?

Does anyone know of a good book that exposes the lobbyist-congress corruption?

Killer Instyncts! Great to see you cleaning up, keep it up. :cool:

Yes the file is sorted by date. Here's the issue though: Each date has ~390 minutes of price data associated with it. For example: 09/11/2009 9.30 o, h, l, c 09/11/2009 9.31 o, h, l, c and so on to 09/11/2009 16.14 o, h, l, c That completes one day, and then starts the next which...

That's some nifty processing, Gtor, pretty cool stuff. Re step 3, is the mktime function something from boost? I'll send you a pm too.

I think you're probably right. I was surprised to find out that the basic containers (vectors, sets etc) don't offer a straightforward solution to the issue of dealing with price related data... If you know of any good SQL tutorials or books, please let me know. Thanks.

Agree with your thought on the list. I use a vector of structure objects with my 1 min data file (spans a year). Call the object 'Bar' for example, containing: date time open high low close volume, where date and time are strings. From there, for sorting, I've tried using a set and sorting it...

Question related to data mining and backtesting: what's the best container to use with the typical csv/comma delineated index futures? Let's assume that the basic data components, i.e., open, high, low, close, price, volume are part of a structure or public class. Then should it be a vector...

What is it about a higher timeframe that makes it more significant of a level? Is it that more time was spent at that price, meaning stronger value was established there? Or is it that more volume flowed in at those levels? Or both.

What makes a high or a low more significant than other levels, be they pivot points or whatever else?

What are some of the coolest trading apps out there? And what languages are they usually programmed in?
