    Is it Wise For a Trader to Move to Los Angeles for a Girl?

    How old are you ? If you're in your early to mid-20's, move anyways regardless of what happens between you and this girl. You might like LA. You might not. But the 2nd or 3rd place you move to might be one you call home for a long time. She might be the one, she might not. But the...

    TSLA the next leg up

    Are you sure this is a bad thing, in light of the recent increase in volatility and downward pressure on the general market? To me, it sounds like it's resisting any move to the downside, and when the general market / QE turmoil subsides, could be one of the first stocks to take off. But...

    Firewall - Hardware or Software?

    Just so you know - what you're asking, security professionals spend years learning... What do you mean by "see what's happening from the outside in.."? My guess is that your "network" is experiencing a lot of script-kiddies rattling your door-knob in search of low-hanging fruit -...

    Multi-Monitor Video Card Help

    Sounds like it would be easier to choose different monitors that natively support DisplayPort instead of wasting time and money finding compatible adapters/cables. Are you sure your video cards can power the higher resolution?

    Should I build my own or buy refurbished

    Building your own is always more fun, and it's a great learning experience... And ATX boards are designed so you can't fry them, unlike the old AT boards from the mid-90's (blacks (wires) in the middle (otherwise you'll be having a barbeque)). You can check out how your CPU ranks here -...

    Are java+netbeans+mysql+ubuntu 64 bits LTS the best for fast develop trading system?

    Why do you keep posting crap like ... "I wanna build a trading system..." "I'm gonna a build a trading system ..." "I have the parts to build a trading system, but my system is slow as shit and I don't really know how to program..." "Which OS should I use ..." "Which language should...

    Learning to Program

    Yes, this is true. But he is requesting how to start learning how to program. Telling a newb to jumping right into learning vendor APIs and other 3rd party software is like taking someone fluent only in Farsi and telling them to translate the Koran into Korean. He has to learn Korean...

    Emperor trading stations

    Better for an avid flight simulator than a trader.... For traders, it'd be better if it inflicted pain when ignoring your trading rules: - hot seat up to 250 degrees to burn your ass for losing trades - electric shocks for adding to losers - punching bag to the solar plex for...

    Darvas or IBD?

    CYH looks good. It broke out a few days ago (not very convincingly), and reacted back to the 8-day EMA. Looks like a good gainer, though not an explosive one. CONN is good ... if you bought the breakout on 8/7/2012... But it's been on a tear since 4/3/13... DPZ first broke out on...

    Darvas or IBD?

    In a less restrictive scan, I found all the above except for CTB. I track the 1-Year High/Low Ratio each day, and it appears that CTB fell below 2.00 on 6/6/13. Note, I use the adjusted highs and lows for my calculations, not the unadjusted figures... I'll need to debug it and see exactly...
