    The Perfect Platform...Is There One ???

    Jay, I figured out the window situation. But haven't addressed the studies pane question yet. Ya know, intensive platforms should be accompanied by an interactive instructional "video". My frustration (that i guess I expressed here) rolls over from my struggles from other platforms (ie...

    The Perfect Platform...Is There One ???

    Hey Jay, Thanks for responding. Obviously I'm still tackling the un-avoidable learning curve. What I'm still trying to manage, is becoming familiar enough to be able utilize/organize eSig to my comfort. I feel (at this time) that...Main tool bar menu "slides"(ie. files,layout,etc.)...

    Dell Dimension---multi-monitor question

    FWIW... My Dimension 4600 has a standard nVidia AGP 64mb card (* has nView) and am able to run multi monitors w/ an 8 way splitter/booster I bought from Tigerdirect for $79. ( 2 way $54, 4 way $59.) No need to buy any specialty card. :cool: (Although I'm using CRTs, not familiar DVI...

    ig0r Swing Experiment

    igOr , I've actually noticed that you get around a little bit...(WLD forums). I recently became active, and have the SF crowd to thank for helping me to focus (after semi-severe info overload syndrome -2 yrs studying). Most of my gratitude goes to both Zuber and "The Mudster". I have a...

    Stock Fetcher Screener - Any reviews?

    Can't beat the price; elaborate and fast crunch time. Not bad at all! Besides it's FREE until you get into storing multiple filters and watchlists.

    The Perfect Platform...Is There One ???

    For instance... I want to save my recent chart setting or use the edit menu to copy syms to my portfolio, I go to the menu bar and the expanded menu "slides" down to be covered by the window "pinned" directly under the menu bar. Also, I may want to include another column in my quote window...

    The Perfect Platform...Is There One ???

    My biggest problem is with the pop-up/menu windows getting buried under my layout... Am I always going to have to minimize my window layout to retrieve them? Also, I'm not sure about the crashes... I have IB TWS open(minimized for integrated trading) and usually have about fifty or more symbols...

    The Perfect Platform...Is There One ???

    Being disappointed after having tried several trading/charting platforms; and reading some ET threads... I pose this question to ye of experience. Is there a platform that does it all (as we would like it to) and not have some crucial element missing that is obviously needed. My latest...

    New and Improved Qcharts

    In search of the "perfect" trading/charting platform, I just set up Esignal and am having trouble with pop up/menu windows opening underneath my "pinned" windows; And when minimizing charts, then trying to re-maximize, they seem to just vanish to god knows where. Also, detaching the favorites...

    Please believe that I appreciate and respect every response that's been given(setting aside the sarcasm). It's not totally possible to know all now, that will be learned going forward. As It's not totally possible for someone to gauge how well prepared I am, and how well I am going to preform...

    I definitely used a poor choice of words. I am well aware the impacts of drawdown. Forget about the entry price stop loss. With the exception of appeasing my friend I would never have considered it anyway. I am walking into this gradually. My two years have been well spent. I have...

    gms and lindq, I don't feel cynicism is negative per se... It' simply constructive criticism which in depth is favorable. As far the stops go...This would only be used for my initial trade(s). I think I mentioned what I might use in true form. I am using this only to review the...

    I just answered someone's reponse on another site where he referred to trading as "legalized gambling". I thought I might slip it in here as well... Oldsmar, IMO, I will respond. Risk! I feel that a gambler is one who only employs a basic strategy. Maybe a little more maybe a...

    All of your cynicism is truly appreciated. It actually re-affirms (to me) my pre-experienced ability to be mildly successful from initiation. Although I might normally place stoploss at points of support... ie TLines, price, Cpatterns, MA's (w/ confirmations), I think that at first I...

    Zman, I've paper traded intra-day to the extent I believe it takes me. Most simulation sites don't have that feature. Fills/Slippage can only be calculated on an assumed average basis. I am going to walk into my account's maximum with out even beginning to consider full BP. For those...
