I think adding a SSD, which would jack the cost up by at least $100, would make them less price competitive. As the general laptop consumers probably have no need for it yet. At today's price level, adding even a 40GB SSD costs more than $100. And 40GB is not quite enough for today's use...

I agree. You know what the most lucrative business in Hong Kong is? Selling small eats. Fish balls, fake shark fin soup, eggettes, etc.. They are willing to pay highest rent for a tiny outfit in the most busiest corner in Causeway Bay (where PO had a hard time getting oriented)... to sell...

Hey how about me? SPY has a much higher chance of moving against the gap than with the gap. So chasing a gap at the US opening time is quite risky. Just kidding. Good job! Today's market was very volatile. Be careful with scalping on such days. Sometimes the market may move...

Is that the same person? "Day Trading" back in 1922? "Wow"!

I agree. I watch SPY everyday and use it as my benchmark for the stocks that I trade. SPY has gaps while ES doesn't. SPY is a proxy for ES. SPY has a much higher chance of moving against the gap than with the gap. So chasing a gap at the US opening time is quite risky.

Does it mean you will take that motherboard?

I agree with Scataphagos. I don't know a whole lot about SLI but it didn't sound right. From what I read SLI was for parallel processing to combine your multiple video cards together and use them as "one". Good for 3D performance for games and stuff. For your trading, charting use, you...

Retaildaytrader: Why did you take a few paragraphs from a webpage posted on July 12, 2002 by "Adam Hamilton", titled "S&P 500 Slow-Motion Crash", and posted here on ET as if this was your own assertion... and give no credit to the original author? Are you telling us you are Adam Hamilton...

Pardon me... may be I am ignorant of the technology. Why are you concerned about SLI? You are using your computer and video cards for trading (mostly 2D charts) primarily, right? Or are you building a machine for 3D video games?

RE: How Do You Get Paid to Lose Someone Else's Money... Perhaps you can ask your buddy Aaron at Schindler Trading.

If you change the column display and check on "bytes received" and "bytes sent", you will see the actual numbers. You can compare the ratio. In my case, download-to-upload is about 10 to 1.

Also note the "Network Utilization" statistics. You may have a 100Mbps adapter (these days, common). If the percentage of utilization is 1.00%, then your actual use is about 0.01 x 100Mbps = 1 Mbps. This way you can roughly figure out if you have saturated the download pipe size or not.

I think it depends on how you trade. How do you trade? Many retails like me: I have lots of charts and indicators (download side). From time to time I place an order, or change a symbol name (that's upload side). The software has some sync signals, keep-alive kind of messages (upload...

Not the bar tab. Just an admission ticket to go into a bar.

It seems that you had paid $500/month, or $6000/year, for a socializing opportunity?

What is considered a spam? Case 1: Somebody posted a note congratulating his buddy for a great performance in July and a link to his buddy's webpage. Is this considered a spam? Case 2: Some university studies want to solicite traders to participate in their "survey" (not sure if it is...

I am sure you can find some animated GIFs for rolling eyeballs. Then blast it to your buddies via Yahoo IM, ND! Ask Petsamo. LOL

ND: What you said was quite funny. But I have the impression that WF is a very seasoned trader as well. And here is my alteration of Mark Douglas' five truths: 1 Anything can happen - But how likely will it happen? You trade the probability, but guard the possibility. (William Ng)...

I think you may have misunderstood my point Mark. I know the OP wants some real trader-to-trader interactions. Not playing the masquerade parties online. The question is: do you have to do it eyeball-to-eyeball? You have seen some of those trading room pictures... hundreds of traders...
