I had previously used some splitters like that. The result was not satisfactory. On both monitors I saw ghost images. If you want to duplicate the image display on a second monitor, I think a dual-monitor video card is the best choice.

What is a VGA splitter? What are you trying to do? Having 1 computer with 2 monitors, and both monitors displaying the same image?

From my estimate: $800 a day, $200,000 a year. That's about 400% a year. Put tax aside, at 400% a year... year 2 you will get $800k. Year 3: $3.2 mil. Year 4: $13 million. Congratulations! Please don't forget us little people on ET.

If you outperform the S&P by 20-30%, you can pat yourself on the back because you have beaten most of the mutual fund managers. Since you are making money, you have beaten perhaps 90% of the traders who are not profitable. As an individual trader, we need to aim higher. Beating the S&P by...

I tend to agress with qwerty. Your posts seemed to have some conflicting points. What you said: Then you also said: Why do you think you can clear some obstacles for newer traders? Paid or voluntary.

Not sure if this question was directed to me. If it is... No I don't have a dual router. I only put different computers (I have 4 desktops and 1 laptop all used in trading) on different technologies. A po-boy load balancing.

Are you profitable now?

I look forward to reading your journal, learningTrading.

The reliability may depend on where you live and how far you are from the CO (Central Office). I have both Comcast cable modem and AT&T (formerly SBC (formerly Pacific Bell (formerly AT&T))) DSL. I have both because I want to avoid having no Internet connection during any trading sessions...

What? You mean trading is not just placing some orders in the morning, go play a round of golf, and occassionally check the price quotes on the I-phone, and get paid handsomely at the end of the day? Now you tell me...

This is a set of very simple questions. BPTrader: 1. What is the purpose of your 3 threads? 2. Are you really finished?

Your world seems to be leaning towards the European side. I have done some full-session trading while in China for a few months. The first thing you need to get used to is the time difference. GMT+8 in China. US markets open at 10:30 pm local time in the winter and 9:30 pm local time in...

Your posts are so predictable now. I have read a few of your 3179 posts. (More than I want) Basically they are all around the same theme of: - Nobody can make money by trading. - If you make money by trading, you are only lucky. - You lose because you day trade. - Nobody makes money...

I don't know what this "being responsible" means. Anybody who is full of hot air can write a book. This is a free country! It's a matter of whether one can find a publisher to publish the work and whether there will be enough people wanting to buy that book. So let's say in the book, the...

I agree. I think he just stirs something up and enjoys seeing how people sympathize with him.

Come on guys! I don't believe all those "Rich Dad Poor Dad This and That" books are written by Robert Kiyosaki himself. Maybe only the first one. Different writters are just tapping on his fame. Like those "Donald Trump This and That" book series. Yeah right... Donald Trump is going to...

I believe the difference is size of the chasiss. Mini-tower bigger than desktop. Mini-tower, you will likely put the box on the floor vertically. Desktop, you can put the box on the top of your desk. Check with the website for sure (on dimensions). For your trading applications the more...

There is no 100% certainty in trading. Nor in life. If you wait for a "100% certainty", (and it wll only reveal itself after it has already happened) you will miss the trade. Sometimes, a 70%+ certain is a good enough bet. Something that happens 7 to 8 times out of 10 is good enough...

My read: BPTrader has many bipolar mood swings, not unlike the S&P movement on Friday (2/12/2010). Often times you will find him a cocky newcomer telling other newcomers what to do. But just as often you find him totally deflated like now. His journal (which he abandoned because he...
