I agree that $1800 is way too steep for having a gadget for the purpose of projecting your images to a few external monitors from your laptop. You can buy a desktop computer for way less than that. e.g. $500. There is some software that allows you to share image displays on a second...

I don't think you need to worry about that. These USB-VGA/DVI devices have drivers that would work. Windows (XP, Vista, etc.) supports multiple monitors and you can opt to have the added monitor displaying the same image or a different part of your desktop.

Are there 2 plugs in the front? What Precision model?

I always had this issue since day one. I thought this is inherant to the USB-VGA adapters and just live with it... until I read some comments in this forum that others seem not having this issue. So I may just be lucky.

That gizmo should be relabelled "Get Me OUT!"

Yes, you can. I have such a configuration. (See attached picture). 2 of my monitors are driven by the laptop (highlighted in red). One via the second VGA port, and one via the USB-VGA adaptor. But... maybe it's only me, I don't know... I have very bad experience with this set up. I have...

I believe: If you report your tax as a trader, then you are not bounded by the wash sale rule. Regardless whether you elect the mark-to-market accounting method. How can you be a trader? Take a look at this link and other related documents...

Sure. Anything is *possible*. Is it probable? My guess is probably not. You are looking for 1% per day return. If they can make that 1% per day, day after day, they wouldn't need to sell you whatever they sold you. GL in any case.

I disagree with this. This implies you need to practice picking top and picking bottom of a price swing (to squeeze every little drop of profit). Highly unlikely you can do it over and over. Many people lose picking tops and bottoms. I think the key is knowing when odds are WITH you When...

How do you find a good trade? Don't you do your analysis based on something that is tradable (e.g. stock, index, ETF, etc.)? If so, would you make this good trade on the object under analysis? You wouldn't see GS being a good trade but then go to buy AAPL, right?

All these discussions... Is it possible to draw $300-$400 a day? Of course! You can have a lot of leverage if you trade futures. Is it probable? Is it reasonable? That depends. How long have you been trading? For a beginner, it is highly improbable. The more experience you have...

All these discussions... Is it possible to draw $300-$400 a day? Of course! Account size may not be much of a factor if you trade futures. Is it probable? Is it reasonable? That depends. How long have you been trading? For a beginner, it is highly improbable. The more experience...

Here is another genius with absolutely no value added to the discussion but playing big shot. Your mind just cannot see what is important. I already had spent the time in typing up my response in sharing my thoughts about Momentum Divergence. I just didn't feel like spending the time to...

Another example: AIG, 5-minutes, 2/11/10: On 2/11/10 shortly after the market opened, you see AIG was brewing a third hump on the momentum indicator. It's likely that it will reverse but you don't know exactly where. Best bet is to wait until you see a momentum divergence: Price higher...

It is not easy and it is not for beginners. There are times to go with a trend and there are times to fade a trend. Both can be lucrative if you trade it right. Fading a trend is inherently highly risky because you are going against the tide. But reward can be great at times because when the...

Low blow. Low blow.

Bolimomo is no idiot. Only if you know how to read between the lines.

You had made 0.11 after... something like 20 trades? How much do you pay for commissions on each trade? At this rate, how long do you think it will take you to reach 5000?

This is only the beginning of your long journey. You have completed some training to build your foundation in trading. The next step is to strengthen each area/discipline/topic in trading to fully understand how the markets work and what is your role as a trader, and to start practising with...
