    GatlingGun: Thanks for your note. I understand. My last note was more in a sarcastic tone.

    Travel Trading Setup... How to move monitors?

    September 15, 2008. I was vacationing in Seaside Oregon. The Dow dropped 500 points on that Monday. For the whole week, I was trading on the bed at the hotel in the morning. You can't take when the market doesn't give. When it gives, you better take. Go ahead and fly to Aspen to...

    Travel Trading Setup... How to move monitors?

    I agree with you badmrfrosty. People travel for whatever reasons. Vacation or not vacation. I happen to be liking trading while on vacation or on training trips. Same reason as yours: no trading equals no pay. Did that in Seaside Oregon (a whole afternoon to pick up seashells on the...

    Travel Trading Setup... How to move monitors?

    This may not be practical. Not sure about Walmart. But I believe BestBuy charges 15% restock fee for electronics returns. Time-wise: you could be spending half a day or more in looking up store locations, buy the items, and install your trading apps and restoring data (layouts...

    My Computer Expoded - Have $2k budget for new computer

    I think your $2000 can go a long way in buying a new computer. I had spent about $1300-$1400 to buy components to build my own. i7-930 with 6GB ram, Win7, about 1TB disk space, a DVDRW. When I shopped around (about April 2010) there were a few boxes featuring i7 class of processors and...

    My Computer Expoded - Have $2k budget for new computer

    Is yours a PCI base card? Or PCIe X16 base card? Sorry I am not familiar with the XFX product line. If you are using PCIe X16 cards... then the one that I am using is this: PNY Technologies 8400 GS PCIe X16 Works great for me under Windows 7. I have 3 of them on this one...

    My Computer Expoded - Have $2k budget for new computer

    This is my old AGP-based video card. Red-circled are the exploded capacitors. 7 total. After the 6th one exploded, the card gave out. :)

    My Computer Expoded - Have $2k budget for new computer

    It sounds like it's not the motherboard. It's possible that it's the video card that is the issue. Are you using the onboard video outlet? Does it have one? Or is it a separate video card? I had an experience with a bad AGP-bus video card. (PNY Technologies). There are about 7 to 8...

    Quad core doesn't support xp pro?

    In a corporate world, you will never get fired using IBM, Intel and Microsoft. It's not to say there is no market for Linux, Apple, AMD, Dell and such. My last two boxes are HP makes using AMD processors. Athlon chip. Used them for a few years and didn't have problem with either. But the...

    Working on Consistent Profitability

    Definitely tlow. I suggest that you do some studying on Market Profile or volume profile or price histogram kind of material. (See enclosed) The POC is way above... at 1117 or so. My profile chart was as of 13:00 stock market close (PDT) so the histograms are off a little bit. But I will...

    Pictures of your trading stations

    These USB to VGA gadgets work for me. About as good as a regular video card in a PCIeX16 slot. Real time chart updates okay. Tick for tick. I have seen the repaint problem you mentioned. As it turned out, it was specific to that one USB port on that one computer I have. After I move the...
