    Windows 7, Intel i7 Chip Combo

    I don't know what your point is. The OP did not ask for any comparison. I just cited my own experience.

    Argh new Vostro 3700 Dell Laptop has a high pitched noise

    CDN: sorry I didn't re-read the entire thread in details. When pulling the specs on Dell Vostro 3700, it said Featuring up to Intel® CoreTM i7 Quad-Core processors. But it looks like it could be equipped with i3, i5 or i7 chip. Exactly what chip are you using? I have a HP dv8t 1100...

    Note that these momentum oscillators... there are two groups: bounded and unbounded. The bounded oscillators, such as Stochastics and RSI, go from 0 to 100. No matter how bullish a move is, the value will never go above 100. The unbounded oscillators, such as CCI, Momentum, Squeeze and...

    PO: Different momentum oscillators react to price moves at different speeds. Stochastics is the quickest. It can be a blessing; it can be a curse. If you follow it immediately to trade you will end up having lots of whipsaws. If you follow something that responds slowly you would miss a...

    Powerful laptop

    Why is the most powerful laptop you can buy today still so much slower than the fast desktop? For example, the faster laptop you can buy today probably is only about 60% performance that of an i7-930 chip? What are the limiting factors? Is it in power consumption? Is it in cooling...

    Matcha and tlow: I feel that candlestick and bar-by-bar analysis are so overrated. Many discounted, or totally dismissed, any kind of indicators on a chart. Quoting that all indicators lag price. True, price action is important. But indicators, when used well, can also help us decide on...

    To trade stocks well, one needs to watch the futures very carefully. Others said I am a confused/crazy person. Remember I bob my head among 20 monitors each cluttered with useless indicators? I am a 51 year old woman living in my Mom's basement trolling the Internet all day. :D :D No you...

    Travel Trading Setup... How to move monitors?

    "Hombre" means just like "dude". If you were specifically addressing the OP, you could have, and should have, used his login handle. It's "badmrfrosty" if you are not willing to look it up.

    Travel Trading Setup... How to move monitors?

    1. I drove this time. No problem. 2. If I fly, the monitors and electronic assessories would be in the check-in luggage. Only the laptops will be in the carry-on. Just take the laptops out from the backpack and let them scan the laptop separately. Is that a nightmare? I didn't feel that way.

    Working on Consistent Profitability

    tlow: Take this little tip from me. On FOMC announcement induced move: Your trade to long 1143, target 1147, stop 1139 was very, very risky. 1. FOMC announcement induced moves are prone to reversals. Sometimes even 2 reversals. Although there were times there was no reversal. You...

    :) I did well and love today's market action. First time going through a Fed Announcement game? I should have warned you. Wild move one way or the other, and typically followed by sharp reversals. (Though sometimes... no reversal. It's not a given. May be need to observe the actions in...

    Sweetie... a retracement of only ~23% (or less) is extremely bullish. Besides looking at the retracement amount, you also should take "time" into considerations. Peak: 8:00 am PDT. A drop to about 10625/30... at 9:30 am. 1.5 hour. 90 minutes. A typical run: 30 min, or 60 min, and...

    Indeed, a day like today... it's "long only". If you missed the first move, the best to do it to wait. Mid-day doldrums. 9:30 am PDT, market went lower... only a tad bit lower. Bounced up for a small protest. Again low at 10:30 am PDT or so... no lower. That's your confirmation to long it...
