Actually, I was hoping to be either wrong or for an admission together with an undertaking to correct the problems, then I might have put up with it for a while. But since limitations will continue, consider my pursuit ended. The DTNIQ feed deal is very good at $75 all in for globex...

Switzerland is relatively good overall but gets really good in certain cantons. Schwyz, Zug, Oberwalden (10% flat income tax) and others. Also if you have a substantial amount you can cut a deal with the local canton for a fixed annual amount that makes it a lot lower. Amazingly peaceful, well...

It seems people get emotionally attached to their software........ I've heard of it but I thought it was only mac or linux people? Anyone else not have $2000 to waste on a non-futures broker when all you trade is futures? The next part appears to be a rhetorical question? Or is it an...

Took another look at the globex time settings and it is not handled well considering the ES is maybe the biggest market out there. The 'rollover' time ie. end of trading day, beginning of another is set to 3.30pm. That means the Sunday opening is set to 3.30, but it actually opens at 5pm. So...

Another helpful PM from JM came in seems like jeb9999 is correct and a blank space is displayed - that is actually better than both multicharts (worked in v2 stopped in v3)and (until v7 later this year), Ninja. Holidays and half days are handled by QT much better than these also. But if QT...

Jerry Medved kindly and quickly replied to me privately, as he said he cannot (not allowed?) post publicly, I trust he won't mind my posting his response... "Paulxx I cannot post publicly so will answer here. Max # of days on regular registered version is 10. If you have a TD...

I've been looking at quotetracker and have been about to go for it, except for some shortcomings. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Most important, if I understand correctly, even with the pay version the maximium number of days for, say 60 minute intraday bars is ten? I need much more than...

In the unlikely event...... that you haven't backed up, you will need to run data recovery software to undelete the files. You will need to know the file suffix/extension of workspaces ( '.xxx') You can then search for the suffix and recover and undelete them. Go to download.com or google...

On top of all that has been said, intellectual 'property' is also a government monopoly anyway, not some moral or ethical right. Freedom loving US founding fathers like Thomas Jefferson were against it for example. If it were some natural right, rather than a monopoly that violates actual...

Good point, let us know what happens after you clean it out. Still 90% sure it's heat causing it. There is a fixed CPU temperature, often set in the BIOS, at which point the computer cuts off. If your temperature is hovering about the maximum and something you did tipped it over, then it may...

I agree with kinar (not the useless condescending post by Tums). And the video memory is irrelevant. The extra $100 is well worth it. Even bigger speed factors though would be either tweaking and cleaning up Vista or a clean install of XP Pro if you are able. Get rid of norton/mcaffee also...

Almost certainly a heat issue. I come across this quite often. I'll be more detailed than you probably need in case of others having the same problem. First, take a powerful vacuum pipe to all outside air holes. Then, leave the mains power plugged in, but switch off at the socket. That...

Glad to help Loren. I wouldn't bother with RAID, the new drives are really fast and though possible, data recovery if your system crashes can be more tricky. Charting programs are not usually that disk intensive either (nothing like audio or video editing) - maybe backtesting years of tick...

Mostly fix broken computers (two or three a day for years) but have built some also. It all looks good, asus are a good name. Asus 'barebones' and cases are also excellent. The Core2Duo should be more than adequate - charting programs are not usually that demanding anyway - it's all the junk...

Had my first customer today who called me out purely because of AVG 8 and vista SP1 conflict. His internet slowed to crawl with AVG 8 after installing SP1. His ISP helped him uninstall SP1 (leaving AVG). It helped but was still not right. I suspected that AVG was the problem. It wouldn't...

Yes, sadly AVG is not what it used to be - check out my full post with solution, here: http://elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=125518&perpage=6&pagenumber=9

Having put many hundreds, maybe thousands of copies of AVG on home users computers in recent years - I now have changed to Avira Antivir. Version 8 of AVG has gone the way of bloat and the seed of the idea that your system resources are theirs to control is growing. It is not too bad yet...

Beware if you are charting eminis, that an extra hour bar gets added than should not be there - just after the 3.15 close. Didn't check other intervals. I tried it with open tick data with the trading hours set up corrrectly in the symbol quote manager options as CME index emini globex. For...
