Dell used to have a "21 day free return, no questions asked" policy. Are you within the 21 days? I could direct you to a really great computer for $1100... or one almost as good for $300-$400 if you were interested. :)

Sorry, man. You're probably astonished I paid $72 for mine.

Is there a tag somewhere on it? There certainly should be a Service Tag (as do all Dells) and you can look up the specs... this aside, I looked up the specs for XPS 8920 desktop. Unfortunately it's a "low-end consumer computer". I has "onboard video" which in my mind has always been a no-no...

Is that a model 8920 or other?

Is your XPS a laptop or desktop?

Any modern computer with at least 2x, PCIE x16 slots will work for you. To run multi-monitor, you need a proper video card. Lots of 2-port and several 4-port cards available. Personally I like Nvidia Quadro Line, but AMD has some which are OK too. (The computer you have now may be perfectly...

Trade only the most active contract... the front month. When time expires, trade the next contract. Nearly all of the liquidity is in the front month.

1. Shorter time frames are less reliable. Suggest watching daily charts. 2. The most valuable/indicative patterns are the reversal ones... morning star, evening star, engulfing, hammer, hanging man, etc. Candle patterns are not especially definitive. Whatever you see in candle charts, you...

They give us a "new" definitions of recession, bull/bear market, etc. It's all just media rhetoric. Bottom Line... prices are in an uptrend or downtrend... or maybe "sideways, indecision", waiting to break out on the upside or down when the market psycho changes. As an investor/trader you...

You don't need no "economic predictors"... what traders DO need is the charts. EVERYTHING traders know, hope, fear, feel, anticipate, etc is reflecting in their decisions to "buy or sell". Traders need to get a handle on that. All other considerations are just schmeckis.

Make AH trading life simple (well, as simple as it's going to get).... trade the ES/MES.... buy support, sell resistance, chase breakouts... KISS baby, same as always. The overnight action is slower, but there's plenty of liquidity.

Neither does anybody else. They both start out looking the same.

You know how that works out... kick the can down the road to be somebody else's problem later. :(

Powell is being a big PUSSY... trying to "ease us" into a decline that is minimally destructive for the economy at the expense of ever higher and continuing inflation. That's apparently his play for now... we'll see how well that works and what follows.

When I was a kid, my shit/mean cousin (he was 12, I was 10) dared me to pee on an electrical fence which held the cows in a limited pasture. You can imagine how THAT turned out! :) (I can hardly understand why he was so mean... nor can I understand how I was so stupid... we used to wake up in...

Maybe I'm answering on the wrong track... but not talking about my getting shocked, but rather damage to computer from static discharge. Apparently static discharge can be in the "thousands of volts" (?)... low amps, of course.

Not sure everybody knows this, so I mention... (1) I've been in almost all parts of the US, and nowhere is humidity as low as the desert southwest. (2) It's typical for us in Colorado to have relative humidity 20-25%, and sometimes <10%... so static electricity is potentially greater here than...

50% humidity... nice idea, but I live in Colorado. Would like solution other than "add humidifier to house". :) I've never had a big static problem until just recently. Apparently static can get into the computer through USB. I've had one computer (apparently) knocked out and 4, USB drives...

My thinking... when I replace a CPU, I use a wrist strap clipped to the case... which through the power cord is connected to a power strip which is switched off. Hopefully any static charge dissipates through that path. I'm considering creating something similar with more "range" around my...

There are "static grounding plugs" available that connect to the ground prong of 3-prong socket. They all (most?) have "built-in resistance for safety". Can anyone explain the resistance/safety aspect? Thanks.
