    LCD Monitor Buying Help Needed

    It does help. Thanks everyone. 3vian, I've never heard of Hyundai as a manufacturer of LCD monitors. Are they the same as the car company?!? Do you have a URL for them?

    LCD Monitor Buying Help Needed

    Going to buy a 2nd monitor to go along with my 19" CRT for trading and have decided to go the LCD route as prices are more reasonable. I've checked the major review sites (cnet.com, pcmag, pcworld) and read various threads here and elsewhere. I also read Baron's section on monitors in...

    ISP Reliability - How do I test it?

    j medved, thank you for the post. Now, what is considered "good" for these trace routes? How about the ping times? Once I start trading remote, how do I measure the performance of my connection with my trading firm's servers/network? Does such a tool exist?

    ISP Reliability - How do I test it?

    Thanks for the comments. I don't really need the speed test - I'm getting a consistent 1MB + speed, which is nice. I was more worried about diagnostics and the like, if such a thing exists. As far as downloading the auto ping stuff, how about when you open up your DOS window and just...

    ISP Reliability - How do I test it?

    I have Verizon DSL. It seems to fluctuate in and out sometimes, which scares the crap out of me as far as using it for trading. I don't know if I'm being paranoid or not, but it does worry me. Is there a way for me to test my connection? Also, is there some sort of monitoring tool I can...

    Asking this again: Can't Hammer do the same thing with its hotkey settings?

    Remote w/Echo, Andover, or GreenTree

    Thank you everybody for your comments. "The more you know..." Hammer v.s. EchoPro - lots of debate it appears on which is the superior platform. It appears that monthly fees are (slightly) higher at Echo than Andover, but Hammer does not yet come with a charting package and bullets are...

    Remote w/Echo, Andover, or GreenTree

    Yes, reliability of software is my main concern. Tenths of a cent commission differences are not critical at this juncture as my volume will initially be low. So how do I find out "which platform best suits (my) workstation"? I've got a P4, 2.26, 512MB of RDRAM running on W2K and a Verizon...

    Remote w/Echo, Andover, or GreenTree

    Input appreciated on these three firms as far as trading remote. Strengths/weaknesses of each firm, reliability of quotes/feeds/platforms, bullet formation (hotkey or separate platform), fees, overall experience. I have Series 7 and 10K to contribute. My volume would initially be low...

    The Matrix Reloaded

    Mr. Error/Mr. RS, your son's assessment was quite accurate. Reloaded IS effects-laden, but after so many slow-mos, spinning kicks, and frozen crane-stance shots, it gets to be rather numbing. I would give the first Matrix almost a 10 out of 10, and this one a 7.

    Sportscenter

    Apparently, this Optional person is not that big of a Lakers fan! I too am savoring their defeat. I think the Kings will be physically ill should they not win a championship with their greatest nemesis now removed.

    The US really needed to be humbled like that to wake up. I was actually hoping the US would lose as I was quite sick of their rich-boy, arrogant attitudes. When Lithuania nearly beat 'em a few years ago I was rooting like crazy for Donnie Nelson and his crazy Lithuanian white boys! Not to...

    Remote ECHO Traders

    because I'm considering trading remote with Echo. I would greatly appreciate input regarding the following: 1) How has the merger affected operations if at all? Has quality stayed the same, improved, or degraded? 2) How's the software? 3) Can you create bullets with a hotkey or...

    Sterling Trader Pro

    I'd like to know this too. What about Echotrader 2? And just so I'm sure, does Sterling=EchotraderPro only?

    Best prop firm for remote trading

    (Sorry, but I don't know how to do that quote stuff yet) I don't understand you. I'm asking for information that's all. No agenda, really. Maybe I need to change my name to something about being in a sauna or a jacuzzi or whatever. I'm getting a lot of private messages about this...
