    Trading with Windows 7

    I would go with the 64 bits version, it is the future and you can have much more ram. Here is a humble suggestion: spend 100 dollars or so more and buy a new hard drive; uninstall your current hard drive with xp and install the new one; then, install windows 7 on the new hard drive and keep the...

    Yes, in many cases. I like options because they are "hard stopped", that is, you really know how much you can lose, no matter what kind of black swan crosses your path. So that is great for multi-day, as stops don't quite work outside of RTH. It is riskier too, due to the time value decay.
