Don't know where you get your calculations from but it took approx 14 bars of 377 ticks to go down and 16 bars to get back up and it ain't even where the high was before and it is going pretty slow........ The last few days the market could nicely be traded both up and down. IMHO there is no...

when I read a thread with this title I am starting to think it is a good time to get out / go the other way. ( yeah, yeah! Keep nodding) ( ~ 1.2560) Thanks for the heads up! Maria

I see someone else has already answered it (S.M.A.R.T.) However it will not prevent dried up bearings & dropping of hard disks (laptops) although in the latter case Lenovo (ex-IBM) has come up with "active protection system" which measures the acceleration of the machine and then parks the...

the hard disk has some internal monitoring and when you keep an eye on that then you have advance warning of a hard disk failing. but for the money that hard disks cost once they get two years old I just replace them - waiting until failure (and you are in the middle of a trade) is not the...

It is hard (impossible?) to do with the ordinary retail software / indicators but it is being done with the right tools. Even the "machine actions" can be read like an open book. Have a nice day Maria

Just on the off-chance: are you using by any chance a Lenovo / IBM machine and have their "Access Connections" software running? I had no end of trouble with data corruption caused by that piece of s*&t and since I uninstalled it all has been well. And this (besides data corruptions)...

Gnome with due respect - there are different quality DVD writers and some of them create a large number of sector errors. Recently got a new laptop which had a Mas***** (relabelled Panasonic) in it about which I had heard some horror stories. Sure enough after torture testing the setup for...

A lot of vendors will "filter spikes" but that does not reflect the real market. You will get spikes when the market is thin and stops got hit like at last weeks open in the NQ / ES. Cannot get away from the impression that these moves are made deliberately ("running stops with overshoot")...

very simply put: if you back up your "data" to an encrypted file ("virtual hard disk") and your "Programs" partition gets hacked / corrupted / virused then all that needs to be done is to boot from CD, start Acronis and wipre the whole partition. Within 10 minutes you have a clean install up and...

always wait until SP1 has come out and others have ironed out all the bugs. was running for a long time win2000 and only switched for two reasons: the extended desktop capability in XP and the painless wireless setup that arrived in XP SP2. Maria

I may be mistaken but that may mean a reinstall :-( (Believe it is set before installing). Have never had to deal with this since I use laptops and there this is not possible. Maria

no, it is not. basically you can do a backup to one of the other partitions and restore, you can keep the crap on one and the valuable data on another. no need to uninstall, in internet explorer , tools, internet options, settings you can do a "move folder". similarly you can do the...

Trade with averaging down on a simulator for half a year and you'll be forever cured of that folly. (likely sooner but I doubt any longer) I do not want to sound person bashing but (long) experience taught me that those who revert to that strategy have not a real (strong) edge in the markets...

Best is NEVER to use your trading computer for anything else except for trading. If you absolutely need to use the same computer for browsing then get one of the Kubuntu live CD's and boot from that after you have finished trading for the day. That does not access the hard disk so nothing can...

Am sorry but you are mistaken. Java is only utilising one CPU and is not multi threading. This leads to inconsistent behaviour like when starting IB's TWS up you have at times first to minimize TWS and then restore again before you can see the quotes. This never happened in the 4 years we...

We have been customers with IB for four and a half years and there was a time before when they had data problems. They changed the basic datafeed structure so it would "never happen again". LOL here we are again. It is all this darn tinkering they do with their stuff - their basic philosophy...

and the rest - am using another datavendor and have seen some horrible lag at times. Maria

Problems here in New Zealand too, tried both machines, one through dial-up and the other through ADSL (different ISP and international connection too: no single point failure). Definitely not the internet connection. I am done for today, not going to put money on the line with a flakey...
