    Best way to destroy a hard drive?

    W/ a mini grinder, grind the surface of each platter beyond recognition...done deal. Smash everything else just to vent.

    IB trin/tick data

    Wondering what others had to say about IB's trin and tick feed. Is it faster then data feeds like esignal? WHo's got the fastest? Most venders seem to have a 6 second delay for internals for the time it takes to compute, is this also the case with IB (if you know). Does IB compute their...

    I Blew Up - What Now?

    1. Get a job 2. Look for a firm or something to back you as you mentioned (if you still want to do this) 3. Learn how the market works (all markets pretty much do the same thing) 4. Get your head screwed on straight so you make better trading choices. 5. Forget about credit cards

    QuoteTracker Bought out by TD AMERITRADE! YIKES!

    Maybe it's just me but all this stuff seems cyclical to me (same thing was happening 1999-2001). I hope it does become more competitive by the industry blowing the door off the hinges instead of just keeping it ajar. It would mean the loss of a way of life for some (good ol' boys), but it...

    A NEW STATIC DOM (idea)

    Not sure that SR offers bid/ask ratio. I know it's not built into my lite version 3.1.1. Would be interested to hear if others are using it, what version?

    Is this really happening

    Why do you care about the direction? When the ES cut through 1355 like butta, something should have caught your attention to the possibility of further upside.

    Zen, Yoga, Meditation and Trading

    IMO religion is BS, I'll assume you meant "meditation and spirituality". Why are they effective, because they bring you closer to peace, closer to your source. Being in this state more often will help you cope w/ trading stressors, especially when learning to trade. There are other...

    I want to add 2 monitors..............

    You can find matrox pci g400, 450, or 550 dual head cards that provide all that you need for trading. Also, inexpensive, low memory cards work well too (diamond viper pci single head 330, 550). I've used all of the above cards for trading. Unless you're gaming video is a big overkill.

    QuoteTracker Bought out by TD AMERITRADE! YIKES!

    I too was disappointed for selfish personal reasons when I read the news, but Jerry and Mike definitely deserve the rewards. I can't think of too many that work harder then they do supporting their product and being receptive to new ideas. Change and the unknown are always somewhat...

    Why do I do what I know I shouldn't be

    To the original poster. It seems like you're lacking confidence in your plan or trading w/out a well defined one. Trade setups should be burned into your mind. There's nothing wrong w/ looking for a top or bottom depending on context. The market only goes so far before retracing. Know where to...

    How to stop losing and start earning

    Stop losing = stop trading, like others have suggested. Not exactly sure why your wasting your time w/ your rules if you're complaining about losing. Losers don't generate winning rules. If you're still having trouble w/ 20 yrs of experience you should consider another profession. Trading...

    Willpower

    It's all about leverage. Whether it's choking down a nyc rat shake on fear factor or only taking trades w/ a defined trend (whatever your trend is).

    Willpower

    Will power to me implies you're trying to force yourself to do something you don't want to do (whether you think it's right or wrong). If you think it's the right thing to do but don't want to do it, maybe that's just stupidity or laziness? To get yourself to do the right thing you need...

    Mary Oryhon Dax Course

    Here's a quick course for the DAX or anything else. If buyers are present, buy with them. Selling should work the same way but it's still being backtested. This course is only offered for a limited time, so act quickly.

    Good info paprika. I would like to compare them myself. Have you tested your ping times to your broker or the gateway xtrader connects to, I'd be curious. BTW what broker are you using?

    Is it worth it to switch from MB to IB ?

    Trading w/ MB via QT will give you a free ad-less registration. QT has made huge leaps forward, though they still somewhat cater to the indicator of the month guy.
