    Andy's Day and Position Trading Journal

    Hi Andy- While I don't trade futures (yet) I am more interested in how you find trading from the Carribean. I am contemplating making the move myself for portions of the year. Do you have a reliable, high speed connection to the markets you trade? Did you bring your own hardware with you...

    Any VLO traders here?

    Are you an investor or a trader? As a trader, I don't really care about the fundamentals or the crack spread, but rather what my technical indicators tell me. Right now, my indicators say buy. As an investor, I might be concerned about the crack spread, which for VLO, isn't as important as...

    Do I need a new video card?

    I did look in the box and there does appear to be an addition PCIe port. The guy at dell told me it was for something else and that i couldn't put another card into it. I will get the 2 PCIe cards then and disregard what this clown at dell has told me. Now, would anyone like to buy a slightly...

    Do I need a new video card?

    Can you recommend some other Nvidia cards? According to Dell, my mobo can only handle one PCIe card and a PCI card. The cards you recommended are PCIe. Could I use the nvidia geforce fx5200 256 MB pci card with the quadro nvs 285 PCIe card? Doesn't seem to be much on ebay in the <$100 range...

    Do I need a new video card?

    I don't think this is going to work with ATI. I think you're right gnome. There are NO ATI Radeon PCI cards that are compatible with the catalyst driver, only PCIe and AGP. I was told by Dell that I would not be able to use the open PCIe port as the guy said it was for something different...

    Do I need a new video card?

    I haven't tried your suggestion yet as I was told that the Radeon card I purchased was not compatible with the catalyst driver. When i get the correct card, I will try your suggestion. There is a list of cards that are supported by the catalyst driver on the ATI website (wish I had seen that...

    Do I need a new video card?

    I'm on the horn with dell customer service and they are trying to tell me that there is no way possible to add an existing video card to the one currently installed, even though i have 2 available PCI slots and 1 available PCIe slot in addition to the one being used. Can this be possible?

    Do I need a new video card?

    So, this project has turned out to be a complete disaster. Here's what has happened so far. 1st card purchased: ATI Rage 128 Pro 32MB. Plugged the card in and when rebooting my system, it would shut down after 10 seconds. Could not install the driver as the system kept shutting down...

    Do I need a new video card?

    Any suggestions? Do I also need to get another ACI radeon card? Or would you suggest something else? If I get another video card, do I need the VGA splitter? Thanks again.

    Wall Mount or Monitor Stand?

    ss- I just left my prop office to begin trading at home. Because I am limited in space (NYC apt.), I went with the wall mount option. I have 3 19" flat panel monitors and have set it up so that 2 are at eye-level side-by-side, with the third mounted above the 2 and centered. It looks...
