    Where does everyone live/trade and how old.

    That means that for as long as I'm here, I'm 71.... I should have chosen a smaller number then.... ET is the new fountain of youth. :)

    Where does everyone live/trade and how old.

    As long as you are making money every month, you can be provided with a nurse, flight attendant or whatever does it for you..... but only after trading hours are done. :D

    Where does everyone live/trade and how old.

    Washington, DC. Newly (since April 05) transplanted from my favorite seat in my office in Chicago. :( My handle is an obvious clue of my age. Fun thread. Nice to see something personal about many of the members here.

    Surge Protectors In Another Surge Protector

    The way to get around this is to buy a 2-prong plug available at Radio Shack really cheap. It is a short cord (6 inches) that has 2 female outlets on the end of it. You can then plug your large transformers into it. For $2.99+tax, they can't be beat. Here's the link...

    CCO.TO or CCJ (NYSE)

    I have owned this one for a while now. I prefer the Canadian stock over the US. The Canadian currency is more stable than the USD and I prefer to have some of my assets in that currency. Whenever a foreign stock trades on a foreign exchange that I have access to, I will buy it at the foreign...

    Are we all Market Wizards?

    I disagree here. I believe this to be more of the truth: 7. Life is NOW, not in the past or future. The past is gone and future is created in the NOW.... therefore, live in it.

    TT Xtrader Connection loss safeguards?

    Nope. None that I have heard of and I have been using it for years. Once your machine loses its connection to the Gateway, then your only choice is to get on another machine and log in to see your orders or to have someone else with Admin rights do that.

    CBOT Member Commission

    Almost the entire stock is owned by members, so not very likely. Only a small percentage of the entire company is available to the public.

    Anyone use my method?

    Doesn't match mine either. It looks the same if the bands are set to 100% rather than 250%. I have dropped Ilganzo a PM. I hope he will reply here instead.

    XP Slow to Close Down

    Your system may be waiting for one or more programs to shut down prior to killing explorer during the process. I would turn on your Task Manager and look at the processes sorted by CPU usage from high to low. I would then initiate a shutdown from there and look at what processes at the top of...

    Big LCD Monitor Question

    A problem I see with a wall setup is that it is too stationary and probably flat. Imagine having 4 LCD's on a wall that are perfectly flat. It tends to cause eyestrain for me because I'm not looking at the monitors while they are pointed to me. I prefer a good stand where the monitors are...

    Education for a Proprietary Trader

    Kravitz, Don't be discouraged so quickly. Where a desire is strong enough, there will be an opportunity created. On a more immediate note, I don't disagree with TrendReaction's comments. I have come across a similar development as well while looking to hire the next trader. You would...

    Need some advice for a trading position

    Without have further information, I would strongly lean on the side of taking the bank offer. At 200k per year, you can create independent trading opportunities later on in life. At some point, you can have enough funds and knowledge stashed away to realize your dream. I run a small prop...

    Live News Service, Free

    It is possible that this is a service that they are rolling out to compete with NTKN and TTN. They might be offering the service to a test group for feedback and to work out kinks in the system. For my money, NTKN still offers the best overall service for the price (comparing TTN and NTKN). I...

    Trader P/L 2006

    I didn't ask about the reason. I'm asking those who participate how they feel it has benefited or hurt them in their trading. Thanks for replying anyway.
