Spoos to sub 800, IMO. Plus, I expect the bad guy to prove he has (and is willing to use) chemcical weapons :(.

Uh oh. I just reconnected to everything because that's what I thought - we'd tank at close. Now I'm not so sure, if lots of people think that, we could do the tank thing, then bounce up.

Hey Nitro thanks for the link and the story. But CPUs don't have caps in them :D. That's going to result in bad mainboards for folks at our level. And potentially, bad power supplys as well :(. So, you might want to change the title to Bad Mainboards.

Nope.

I have no idea. Just read the post about Vlad starting with an back-tested strategy and 50-100k of somebody elses money. Noticed it was from last year, so maybe somebody knows how it turned out. I reviewed some of his posts, and in one he said he averages about (dog! Lookit ES tank...

So how'd Vlad do?

I was going by the Bloomberg live video feed vs. Briefing's free web page :D.

That would be impossible. :D

In the old days, there were many websites offering level II quotes (for a fee) and a *free* trading "class" in how to read these quotes. Theory was, that you could just look at a lev II screen, step in front of the big boys and scalp your way to riches. Yeah right. A quick search on the...

Be advised that some sellers are not sure if their card is PCI or AGP. And, the one card I bought on eBay did *not* come with a digitial to analog adapter (not that I needed any more of these things). But, I got it cheaper than a new one!

Go for it. You've got principle on your side. If you get access to ET once you are behind the wall, let us know how it is all working out.

I ***KNOW*** that is correct, the sundog can run three monitors :D. I however, went with the G450s, used to have six slots with nothing in them at all - deliberately choose a mainboard with onboard RAID, NIC and sound. Dual G450s is a cheap way to go, if you think you won't need those slots...

Geez. On one hand, that stuff about IT being dead is mostly just true for the "nonbelievers" - folks who got into IT cuz it was hot, and full of money and jobs. If you are one of the people for whom coding is in your blood, you can get a job in virtually any economy. I love to write programs...

As a trader you are running a business and it behooves you to test things (if you can) in addition to gathering opinions. That said, fire up your system(s) on your broadband, and try a (small) limit fill in a fast market that is moving in your positions favor (short something that is tanking...

So do inmate get net access? Maybe one can trade from prison. . .

I think the Dow will be minus a million before anything like this worked (for not paying income taxes), but here's some links: http://www.lessgovernment.com/views_incometax.html http://www.sonnet.com/usr/kidogo/remedy2.html http://www.givemeliberty.org/features/taxes/usatoday.htm

Haven't seen the demo, but have read about this, sounds pretty neat. I've got more horsepower than I need for now, tho. My CPU hits util highs of 15 to 20% during normal trading, and is usually just idling along - waiting for something to do.

Designed it and put her together by myself early last summer.

True Power 430w PS Intel P4 2.26ghz w/ 533mhz FSB 1 gig PC1066 RAM 850e GA-8IHXP (running onboard RAID0, sound and NIC) 3 PCI G450s 1 AGP GeForce4 4600 No other cards 6 Samsung 191Ts, using all the digital outs, and the analog from the GeForce and one analog from one of the 450s.

100:1 suggests that he has not done a true statistical analysis of the markets. Can't remember who it was, but somebody did one, and odds came out like a bell curve, except it had "fat ends" (higher than bell curve odds at the extremes). I'd be sorely tempted to put 100 bucks on that 100:1...
