I have a G450 and haven't had that problem, but my primary monitor is on a GeForce3, with the second and third screens on the Matrox. I had terrible driver conflicts between the Nvidia drivers and the Matrox drivers to the point of the monitors on the Matrox card being unusable. The Matrox...

Does the broker offer an API for order entry? If so, you can automate just about anything with a little programming. I am the n00b of all n00b programmers and after some reading/trial/error I am doing most of my stuff with Excel and VBA (although not with FX, so I don't know which spot brokers...

I'm pretty sure that SARS was somehow responsible...

I have used both (although I have not tried any file sharing on the LAN). One of my complaints with Citrix is that it won't save multi-monitor layouts. So if you have any windows on a second, third or whatever monitor, it all gets crammed back onto one screen when you reopen the software and...

I took it in January and passed. I used the STC manual. It was not complete since it was an older version and had none of the SuperMontage stuff, but there were only 2 or 3 questions about that anyway. I didn't say it was easy, just not too bad if you have a study guide. There are definitely...

I don't know about the waiting period, but the test is not that bad. Just invest in a study guide and read it through completely, then take a few practice tests and you will do fine. At least the 55 is related to trading...the 7 and 63 were so boring it was hard to get motivated enough to study.

Thanks. I did just what you said and it still resets that setting each time the GS is started.

I use it for intraday data with TS. I noticed that I had to change the setting again today. Is this something I will have to do each time or is there a permanent fix?

That worked for me, thanks...I am running TS 2000i with it.

AT Financial does.

Ok, I was told you can filter for regionals by putting an ' around the quote like so: =WINROS|BID!'GE=N' However, a friend of mine said he used this and still got bad ticks and Esignal told him it was because Excel couldn't handle the volume of ticks coming in or something like that.

I want this feature too. I didn't even know about the =N option, but noticed the DDE didn't filter by exchange. I will email them with a request too. Maybe if enough people ask...

Not sure if you meant this to be in the Retail Firm section, but if you are refering to system testing, out of sample data is data that you test your system on that was not part of the original data set used to create/optimize the system. The idea is that your system will not be biased by data...

They actually had a listing for a junior trader with Hotjobs.com a few years ago that I applied for...got a form letter and that was it. I knew it would be a shot in the dark. Surprised they even went that route.

Why not go directly through the fund families you want and save the commissions?

You should be fine that way provided its not a catastrauphic power outage (like the whole city goes down). But its also no different than a cable modem...as long as the modem and computer have power, it should work provided the CO or cable office is still running. I have my modem, one monitor...

I still don't get the logic behind prop futures trading. There is already tremendous leverage in retail futures, and at much lower commissions (using the $8 trip example) and you don't have to split profits with anyone. If you have to put up $5k, why not just trade with a firm like IB? Perhaps...

I like Active Trader the best. I used to really like TASC, when I still thought you could come up with a mathematical solution to trading. I used to really like Traders World, when I still thought you could predict turning points by some kind of esoteric natural order of the universe. In...

I have a friend that is a network admin and he just bought the 191 from Dell (their branded version) for around $600. He buys a lot from them, so I'm sure he got a discount, but the rep told him that Dell was discontinuing that model and that was why they were selling them so cheap. So that...

I just bought Amibroker and it was exactly what I needed for scanning. I am using the EOD version ($99), but there is a realtime version for $199 (one time charge, no monthly fee). I'm pretty sure it can do everything that you are wanting to do. Email the developer from the website...
