Don't quit your job. You are not ready yet.

p.s. How many of these Single-Threaded applications you are running? If you run more than one instance of the program, each instance can use its own core in a multi-core CPU. A quad-core will still be faster than a dual-core set up if you run more than 2 programs at the same time.

The fastest Dual core CPU right now is the Intel Core2Duo E8500. They are still new, and is not easy to come by. You can see Tom's Hardware chart below for comparison. I chose PCMark2005 CPU because it is not multi-core optimized...

Do you have to use the Title "Screwed by IB"? I knew the outcome even before reading the thread; we have seen this type of thread title enough times. Feel free to borrow it... <img src="http://webdisk.planet.nl/splin004/publiek/album/eritrea653409.jpg">

1. Basic concerns: Most computer has 4 memory slots. Your memory selection depends on your current and immediate future needs. If you need 4GB, and you think this is all you require in the next 2 yrs, then go for the cheapest selection up to 4 DIMM pieces. 2. Computer geek concerns...

Trading is an undefined word. I guess we are loosely referring to daytraders, both in stocks and in futures. Most trading software require limited CPU power. (in terms of quote and order management.) Charting software require a bit more power, if you have multiple screens/charts with...

[/b] then the section heading should not be "Default Order Offset Amounts*" it should be "Bracket & Trailing Order Offset Amounts*" The bad and inaccurate information being floated rest squarely on IB's shoulder. If that's the default, please show it as such on the configuration window...

increasing black and go short ?????? (just kidding)

This is really scary... TWS updates DO NOT carry the default over from previous version. This means we have to CHECK EVERY DAMN settings in TWS after every upgrade !!!! This is FRECKEN INSANE. IB should haul the programmer out for explanation.

Low dollar is a weapon.

Relax... push the chair back... zoom the charts to different sizes... look at the big picture... look at the small picture... zoom to 5 bars only and get a different perspective... take a walk... I had a 3hrs lunch. It was great!
