    Will trade for food-reminiscense of an unwanted trader

    people will want to ask your record on the other 12 years 4 months. why only 8 months of records? how are you going to back up your claims of steady 30% annual returns with an 8 month paper trail? bear in mind also the past 8 months include a huge bull market run. how does your system perform in...

    8 flat screens, one computer and a question

    something else to consider. if you're going to buy 8 x 22's @ $300 each = $2400 + tax and shipping. I would strongly urge you to consider looking at the Dell 30". For the same price, you can buy 1 x 30" and 3 x 22's. The 30" is well worth it. I have a 30 running next to the 22's, and the 30...

    do you have a link to the review? I'm thinking of swapping 2 of them for 24's. Thanks

    8 flat screens, one computer and a question

    I have the quadro 400 hooked up to 4 22's, and it works well. It fits in the PCI regular slot, so most computers have at least 2 of these slots.

    So what do I do now?

    for example: http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&cs=04&kc=6W300&l=en&oc=bdcwbbz&s=bsd&ACD=qIpcRdgIoDJbAkpFI3IH&AID=0038421795&afsrc=1 remove the monitor if you have one already, and the price of the Dell with AMD Dual core 64 = $419. can't really beat that.

    ergotron alternatives

    plenty of alternatives. but ergotron is great. atdec has a hex stand, but doesn't curve. most stands are expensive.

    IB TWS always downloading

    Strange. Good ideas though, I've reinstalled API and JRE. I've also installed TWS standalone. I trade via BrackTrader anyways, so just need the API. Thanks for your help.

    IB TWS always downloading

    anyone know why IB TWS is always downloading every time I start it? it seems almost every day it has to redownload the 11mb file. they can't be updating it that often, do they?

    Outlook Express

    yes, you just have to locate the files on the drive, and copy with windows explorer. outlook may have an export function as well, I forget.

    Outlook Express

    yes, you need to create a folder or category on the local drive. it should be an option under the create new category. after that, you just need to move or copy the mail to the local drive.

    New Workstation For Daytrade

    depends on what apps you'll be running, but should be fine. why Xeon instead of core 2?

    I ordered 2 gb of memory from Newegg today. hopefully that will allow me to run all apps at full speed. I also ordered DSL as a backup to the cable modem. today it went down. Good thing I didn't have any trades on. I guess even if I did I'd call it into IB to close out the position and pay my...

    I'm just worried I may be trying to draw blood from stone :D I'm running a dell 9150 with dual core and 1gig ram. if I add ram to it, I may end up taxing the CPU - although they're designed to go 2gig iirc. I may end up building my own CPU for fun and hobby. that'll be when I throw in the...

    Thanks StockzTrader, good tip. my CPU usage is fluctuating around 30-90's. with the middle around 65-70. I think I'm hitting it moderately hard already without heavy market action. which means the open may stress it at 100. my PF usage is at 2.18 gb, which I'm assuming is due to tradestation...

    the new setup kicks ass. I love having 6 screens so I can see better the windows that I usually toggle through. I'm beginning to push the envelope now of what my computer/internet connection is capable of. so good timing on quad core discussion. my internet is running around 3-4meg on...

    Thanks buddy. Good fortune to you as well. I used Scottrade elite for a while and had some issues with execution. the platform also blanked out on me here and there. I've had Tradestation lag on me- one day the data was coming about 4-5 minutes after. I knew because IB's data is correct or...

    can't wait until tomorrow though. the first live fire test will be telling. hopefully Tradestation has enough bandwidth to send me the increased amount of data.
