Gnome happens to know a lot about this. Mixing video cards is much like mixing spices. They work based on how they integrate with the other cards, the operating system, the motherboard and chipset. My personal experience has been that ATI's cards are somewhat picky. I find that Matrox and nVidia...

I have several machines set up with nVidia Quadro4 NVS 200 PCI cards. They work great together. Here is a link: http://www.compuvest.com/Description.jsp?iid=72391 You just have to be careful not to buy AGP since there is usually only 1 AGP slot in most computers. The great thing about nVidia...

I have been trading on these for a while. I also use one of them as a small TV. I think 8 ms is great for gaming action, but I can't see why you would pay a premium for it to trade. I have scrolling text on my screen (T&S) and I don't notice any problem with it. I can hardly imagine that you...

Have you checked to make sure your resolution is set to 1280x1024? Also, go to the Image Setting menu and have it Auto Adjust to properly calibrate the monitor. Finally, these monitors are very bright, so be sure to reduce that if you are going to stare at the screen for long periods of time.

Interesting results so far. Nice poll.

3 YR. I had one show up with 2 dead pixels. They took it back and paid for next day shipping both ways.

What charting package do you use? You should chart the spread itself with a dynamic ratio and get live feedback on whether the spread is expanding or contracting. I wouldn't trade a spread without it.

Who do you use Trademaven through (if you don't mind saying)?

Great comments again. I think it is telling you that you will require 88% of full margin for each product. Remember that when spreads are going wrong, you lose on both legs of the spread.

I see more similarities between poker and trading. They both require the same hard work, knowledge and discipline. How much hard work? Well.... that depends on how much you love it.

I know this has been posted before, but the word gambling is a bit of a general term: [/b][/i] It all depends on your definition and perception of gambling. Based on this definition, can you think of anyone who has made money without taking some sort of a gamble? Will buying an investment...

The 1905FP produces a very sharp picture even in VGA mode. The 20" is not as bright. Don't get me wrong. It is a great monitor. I just think that the 19" is a better choice.

I'm not as impressed with the 20". It is not as crisp and bright at the 1905FP. Also, the 20" has not been updated like the 1905FP has (used to be 1901FP). It is still one of the best 20" monitors out there. I prefer the 19" though.

Are you talking about 20 vs 4 ms (milliseconds)? I haven't seen a 4 ms monitor. That seems amazing. Can you post the model you are referring to? The milliseconds describes the refresh rate. It doesn't mean a thing unless you plan to use the monitor for gaming. Gaming on a slow monitor causes...

This is the spread in a 15 min timeframe. You can see that it is pretty steady except during big events like unemployment, etc.

Dave, those are interesting comments. I'm trying to generate a chart showing the intraday spread as well as interday to see what it looks like. Maybe someone can decrypt it for me. I'm not much on spreads, but I do know the basics. The guy who really knows about spreads is H2O. He pointed me in...

You won't regret it (until 21" LCD's are selling for $300 this time next year... that is. :) )

I emphasize the warranty on purchases such as these. You might already know that LCD's can't be fixed. It is cheaper to replace them. Hence, you need to make sure that whatever you buy has at least a 3-yr warranty (most major brands of new monitors will have this; otherwise, avoid buying from...

The spreads I have indicate that you need approx. 0.8 ER2's per ES. What makes you believe that an evenly weighted spread will yield a good result? Also, how do you know how far off the spread is whether or not you will realize a loss on both sides (spread could be expanding)?

Unfortunately, Dell does a poor job of providing promotional opportunities for Canada. I have helped people set up for trading in Canada and they seemed to have to pay more for the same product. The equipment is certified for both the US and Canada, but there is less competition there and much...
