    I have an external HD, Maxtor, its firewire so you need a firewire pci card. I don't remember having to do anything, formatting, drivers, etc, I would rec it especially bc you can take it home or where you want. Hope that helps. You can usually get a good deal on them at www.pricewatch.com

    How do these guys make $$?

    In effect, your broker is creating his own personal index. Some peolpe do better than others, [/B] I agree with this, well put, and to the point.

    How do these guys make $$?

    Well, the brokerage biz has taken a hit from the net, (and from their own greed) but there seems to be those who are still doing well, most seem to be getting creamed, like many traders, its a tough mkt. But at some point you would think the brokerage biz would stabilize even if the economy...

    How do these guys make $$?

    Interesting, seems like they are taking a page out of the Hedge fund managers playbook (1.5-2.0% annual fee).

    How do these guys make $$?

    That's my whole point, it is a really bad time, not surprised to hear that (the tax thing), jay, do you know if the 1.5 is a one time or yearly fee, bc, if it is one time, I just can't figure out how he's pulling in that kind of coin, especially since (I have seen no evidence of this but would...

    Dow Emini: how tradable is it?

    It's just a matter of when the institutions decide to get involved in this contract when we will see the number go from 5 digits to 6 imo.........then it should be good. (I think this is a pretty obvious statement, I am just thinking out loud)...then I'll get to add cbot/ace to my X .....fun fun.

    TS7 OCO?

    O I forgot to mention that the answer to the original question is no, no oco orders, at least online from what I have read. Don't know if they plan it, if youre going to wait for it in the next release it might be a few yrs. (Thats how long the first new release took).

    TS7 OCO?

    Esignal has Renko, Kagi, 3point break, and I think with efs you can get equivolume. It also has the standard candle, bar, line, and point and figure.
