Al Gore had not invented the Internet yet back in 79. BBS was just starting... with 300 baud modems. My first computer was an Apple II+, circa 1981

If you are so fed up with Dell, or so fed up with HP, or so fed up with Apple... why not build your own? It is really easy these days. And you don't need to deal with nobody.

I hope you have a stop on your bet.

Didn't stop AAPL from falling to day low... 254 and change. I shorted the spike. Just regret not holding longer. I usually don't like to hold the spike fade for too long, in the event of some real moves.

At exactly the same minute, RIMM down 1.50. Some kind of news I assume... that benefits AAPL but bad for RIMM. Both surged in volume.

The objective is to let you, the trader, have multiple views of the market data. It could be multiple symbols instead of one. It could be multiple time-frames of the same stock instead of just 1-min or whatever. It could be a market profile view versus multiple moving averages overlay versus...

How can you back against a wall and still have a flame coming from behind?

The Nasdaq index measures the entire Nasdaq market. QQQQ is just 100 of the Nasdaq stocks. http://www.investopedia.com/terms/q/qqq.asp

You can trade only a few stocks and be good at predicting their short term movements and be able to profit from them. They can be AAPL, or AMZN, or POT, or AIG, or GS, or CSCO MSFT DELL you name it. In the Internet boom, it used to be AMZN CSCO KLAC AMAT EMLX. Or even Iomega. The key to look...

90% of my trades are AAPL for the past 6 months. These partial fills are killing me. 794 shares. 107 shares 75 shares Are there really so many Apple employees exercising their options????? May be they are like fruitcakes... got passed around from one Apple employee exercising options...

Do you really want to drive that many monitors from the same CPU?

You are welcome SWAS and sorry to hear about these issues. I know RealTick is inferior in charting (e.g. compared to TradeStation) so I never really used that capability... therefore didn't experience the problems like you did. Good luck in locating a platform that meets your needs.

You do Kung Fu in your mind with trading. Study hard Sun Tzu Art of War. A must read for business people and traders.

The two you named are not brokerage firms from my understanding (unless they have changed recently). They are trading software and datafeed providers. You need to have your own brokerage accounts to trade. I use both TradeStation and RealTick. TradeStation is great in their charting...

Did you see any physical signs that the old video card "blew" out? I had video cards failed on me before and: Case 1: Many of the capacitors blew up like popcorns. Really, literally exploded. Overheating inside the box. Case 2: The mechanical fan on the video card got stuck from...

In my trading room I have Win7, Vista and XP all 3. I certainly don't hate Win7 - except the Aero Peek stuff, which I turned off. I do like it that it recognizes all 6GB of my RAM. And I bought Win7 64 for that reason. But they are not all the different to me. I use a box for the...

Don't know what you meant by "on the top" or "on the bottom". 1. Are the 2 video cards of the same make? If they are from different manufacturers, there may be compatibility issues. What makes and models do you have? 2. What OS are you running? (Presumed Windows)... but is it XP...

Not to take away the skills of Soros and Buffett, as they certainly are great traders and investors. But I think your question, or quest, has, at least partially, a survivorship bias. You are looking at the two among the top who had made it, out of tens of thousands or even millions who had...

Don't feel too bad. This market has been difficult even for the most experienced. Alan Farley's book is a bit scholaristically written. More like a theory dissertation than a trading "how to" manual.
