I've got both TradeStation 2000i and Amibroker. In the past I used to trade intraday using IQfeed but I've switched to currencies and longer timeframes. What is the best datafeed for forex so I can check the market every 4 ~ 6 hours? Ideally I like a datafeed that goes into the Amibroker...

Finally got the solution: Use the windows key and then use the left or right arrow keys and it jumps to the primary display when the second display is off or disconnected. Thanks to all for their inputs, Maria

I only see "Open", "run as administrator", "pin to taskbar" and "properties" when I do this. Maria

Thanks for the suggestion which will work if your second display is still connected but switched off. However if you switch the computer off and then disconnect the display before rebooting the computer then this ain't working either. Am attaching a picture of the menu which comes up when you...

That ain't no longer working in Windows 7. :mad: Maria

Running Windows 7 64 bit. So far pretty good and only a few nags with IE muttering about that the last session was not closed properly. OK, today I came across something that has me baffled: Normally I use two monitors. Today I had to go somewhere else and started up a program that normally...

We are late adaptors. We recently migrated the backup / development machine to Windows 7 from XP professional. Liked it enough to upgrade the production (trading) machine to Vista Ultimate with service pack 2 after having gone through the learning curve on the development machine first. ( Would...

Beg to differ with a few of you. Two laptops are sufficient. Every 12-18 months buy one new one and decommision the oldest. Have one total backup install in VMware on a USB key with up-to-date VMplayer install software. If PC can handle it then make the VMware environment your primary...

IBM bought the PWC consulting arm - the most glib salesmen you could ever find. They have dropped their PC making business which apperently never made them any money because they were over engineered and could not compete against the cheap knock off copies. Will take some time before IBM...

Me thinks the scenario might be a bit different. Oracle has bought Sun and now Oracle is able to deliver desktop - to - server solution. This desk-to-server is what has in the past made IBM strong .The companies left IBM because IBM put them in a straight jacket which killed initiative...

:D

better just to make a decent backup with Acronis and backing up to DVD. Maria

And run the risk of a third party extracting info from your computer? No thanks! Maria

Why junk it? Do the new bells and whistles that are in the latests software iterrations make any change to the human psyche that has existed for tens of thousands of years? Is human greed and fear changing so rapidly? If you look at the present economic situation then imho nothing has been...

When dad did his exams back in the mid 80's one of the papers he had to do was writing an OS in assembly language. He also programmed in Algol, Fortran, Borland C (using a single sided 5.25 " floppy when the doulbe sided 360K / 1.2 M had not become commonplace at that time) and used punch...

Investigation of Linux took a long time and some suprising information came to light: a number of flavours are "bleeding edge" and require frequent upgrading of which some are not painless - i.e. they require a total reinstall. Stability is another issue with these versions. VMware is only...

IMHO it is same same as the 1930's when everyone thought it was over when the reversal hit 40% and then the market went down until 10%. IMHO this is not the normal correction, this time (just like in the 30's) it will need a change of attitude of Joe Public. In any case just watch out in...

Keeping at the front desk is not always safe, dad had once a laptop gone "missing" and another one tampered with. After that he thought it was better to use two pelican boxes: one as his "suitcase" and the other as "carry on luggae" which held his laptop. In the room he would take a stainless...

Hearing rumours of IBM buying up SUN, any idea what this implies for OpenSolaris / Virtual Box? Thanks Maria

The big 3 make some of the most gas guzzling monsters so if they fail then more efficent cars will get on the road. ( Europeans have had smaller cars for decades... ) When the big monstrosities get off the road then it is only logical that demand will drop. Its enlightning to see how not that...
