    Can you think out of the box: show that Capitalism REQUIRES Socialism :D

    Capitalism certainly requires mass markets, but the contradiction is that while it requires individual buying power to drive these markets individual capitalists are more than happy to have wage slaves. How do you sell more at a lower price ? Drive labour costs down. Elementary.

    Asian daytrading makes a comeback

    The minimum tick size for the SGXNK is 5. Can anybody explain why the IB data feed reports trades at other than multiples of 5 ? Some from the current session - Bad tick value: SGXNK 15486.0 Bad tick value: SGXNK 15477.0 Bad tick value: SGXNK 15472.0 Bad tick value: SGXNK 15481.0 Bad tick...

    Matrox G450 MMS vs G200 MMS

    Have got got enough memory ? (main memory not video adapter memory). These sort of periodic delays can be caused by paging to/from disk as memory is running low. Number of open windows/charts has got nothing to do with video memory requirements.

    Free-market "failures" and South American socialism

    There is a good case to be made that so called 'free trade', free markets or whatever you want to call them do not necessarily benefit developing counties. This article http://business.guardian.co.uk/story/0,,1664984,00.html cites numerous cases. Amongst them South Korea and Taiwan where...

    Explorer vs Firefox

    I reckon there are vast numbers of unpatched instances of IE running in the real world, with administrator privileges no less. in particular lots of them on Windows 98. Of course one should keep up to date with patches but many people dont and it affects the entire internet. The blame for the...

    Explorer vs Firefox

    "Internet Explorer users can be as much as 21 times more likely to end up with a spyware-infected PC than people who go online with Mozilla's Firefox browser, academic researchers from Microsoft's backyard said in a recently published paper." http://news.yahoo.com/s/cmp/20060210/tc_cmp/179102616

    GeForce 6800 and 2 monitors

    Y cable is irrelevant. It's just a cabling issue to reduce the size of the connector on the back of the card. There are two seperate DVI channels. In the case of the NVS 280, probably so they can fit the half height card into low profile PCs.

    IB Suggestions & Improvements

    Provide two separate access levels for API connected clients. The high level should be as now with full privileges. The lower level should not have access to 'sensitive' functions such as place order or portfolio updates. For example if a client is solely a charting application (or only it's...

    IB's Trouble tickets

    I think they are essential, especially as organizations get larger as personel become accountable for individual issues and management can monitor whats going on and get figures on how things are going. Not perfect but emails alone can just fall through the cracks. I know when I was a tech...

    Platform-Independent Data Feed/IB Data?

    I'm not sure which issues are important to you, but I find the IB feed to be fast and reliable. Others have said that it's performance in a fast market is a least as good if not better than many others. And the price is right. As for Java footprint 1Gb is not a realistic assessment of how...

    Not impressed......

    I doubt if it the main problem, but the G200 is a very old card now. I've found that the G200 MMS Quad is dramatically slower on a Linux system than the dual head Nvidia NVS 280 which is a newer card intended for this type of 2D application. I've seen a review that rated the NVS 280 as...

    Market Profile Plus by bolter

    Possibly because my calculations are incorrect :( I've only put together the code in the last few days. I cross checked against Bolters and some Esignal charts that were posted (which are also not exactly the same) and my figures were close but not the same. The levels I posted were for the...
