    Quiet in trading room

    Hey Triple. What office are you in? I used to work in the SF office with Dale Pitt and crew. Great guys (Tom, Alan, Greg, and Dale of course). I never could make money the way Bright guys do, but have you ever considered trading minis ? I've been supporting myself on futures for 15...

    Anyone else get UAL buy-in?

    True. I only have a small amount of my total investments in it though. I have done this before and paid a few times (like Enron at a buck), but overall it has worked out well. This type investing is in a long term IRA account and I never put more than 20% in any single position. I also have a...

    Dual Video Cards

    Good to know for the future as I may look into a sysytem for a trading buddy. 4MB works for me though. I only use about 4 colors, and have 17 inchers so the res doesn't have to be that high. Cheers, Jay

    Anyone else get UAL buy-in?

    What the ---- are you talking about? You can buy any amount of UAL on the market. Personally, I picked up several thousand shares due to the fact that they have the best network (so did another major that died, TWA). Anyway, If you have to ask how ya get stock, then what are ya doing...

    traders in the sierras?

    Not if you want untracked. Better be at the lifts and ready when they open. I traded from Park City for years and we had the 12" rule there too. BTW, I would be very interested in working in an Incline office except that windsurfing is the sport now! Where you are in the Bay Area is ideal for...

    Base Capital

    Me too. Lasted for six months in 1987, but hated it from day one. I wanted to be a trader, thinking that would be the first step. Ha! Traders labled me in the same group as car salesman with the "broker" title on my resume. Luckily, I had some cash left over from a college fund to get going...

    Macd

    MACD is one of my main indicators. I use it, as others, in conjunction with other stuff. I use it on 5 and 15 minute charts as a direction indicator, but use traditional chart patterns to actually plan the trade. When the 5 and 15 line up, I am much more comfy in my trading. Jay
