I agree with most of what Scataphagos said. Trading is my business. I do what the business requires. No less. If the trading platform/software says "XP 32", so be it regardless whether it's buggy not buggy, feature-rich/featureless. If I use a trading software that runs only on DOS I...

This is my normal view too. I am aware of the performance difference between a PCIx based card and USB interface based gadget. However, I have been using the 2 SIIG USB-VGA display adapters to drive 2 external monitors on my new box with no problem. My application is only 2-d graphics...

Here is a web page that listed all the features of Win 7. See if there is anything that you gotta have, like IE 8, Aeropeek (which I turned off), enhanced calculator (Wow!), HomeGroup (this one is nice if you have multiple computers), Scenic Ribbon, Paint and Wordpad (Double Wow!), Enhanced...

I use Comcast cable modem at home and recently often times it has 30 Mbps on download side. I am happy with that speed. But with Comcast, I am not happy that they have occassional outages - more often than I like. DSL is only 5 Mbps download side. But seems to be more stable. Recently at...

Was your husband surprised by the profit, or you became a man? :D

My favorite chart patterns: Madonna's Bras (on left) Top. And Madonna's Bras When She Is 75 (on right) Bottom.

Good for you. A ted closer to buying your mom a dream home.

To add: "ping" by default only does 4 attempts. The packet loss based on 4 attempts may not tell much. You can use the continuous ping: ping -t www.mybroker.com to do as many pings as you like. At the end, do a control-C to interrupt. (e.g. 100 times) and the statistics will be...

I have met him face to face and I have read his book. Like his book. But he is a snake-oil in real life. My read. Very true. Being a trader is a lonely journey. Unless you find some partners. I suppose it's similar to trying to explain to your family that you are an aspiring actress...

Perhaps you and I are the only 2 who believe in this. Almost every time I mentioned my multiple monitor setup in my trading room I got chatised.

I agree with killthesunshine. The 28-inch is nice... but the resolution of 1920x1200 is too coarse for its size. I can have a 23-inch for 2048x1020. For the 5 more inches diagonal space, one is not getting any additional resolution. This will be the effect of having a 52-inch plasma TV but...

I don't see any big difference in using wide versus the regular 4:3. You adjust your layout to place your charts/boxes accordingly.

I have seen Rob McNabb delivering a short segment in an OTA class. He did seem to have a bit of a strange temper (which surprised me then). Thanks for the update. I have been wondering why he disappeared from OTA.

Check out some of the older threads in this hardware forum. Lots of answers and opinions. Regular: I assume you meant the conventional 4:3 ratio LCD monitors. They don't sell those any more. You can only get them used or refurbished. All new ones are "wide", or 16:9 ratio. Size...

Flipping is an advanced-level maneuver. I would not recommend it for beginners. Because if you flip, and flip, and flip... you may end up frustrating yourself in a whipsaw market. Flipping is warranted if your original assumption is obviously wrong (or that the market has changed suddenly for...

Such a good kid! Don't forget the second dream house/paradise would be for your mentor. :D

Glad that it worked out Matcha. This week I am tied up. More tips later. The next to practice is overlay the daily pivot lines (PP, S1, R1, etc.). And watch how price action behaviors around these levels. In short (under "normal" circumstances)... price likes to gravitate towards the PP...

You should be able to trade 8am-8pm on ARCA. What in particular were you confused about? The paragraph you sited talked about how they tag the last sales information (with a "T") outside of the primary hours.

That is one of the reasons one should use at least dual time-frames (I use 3). Higher time-frames hide details. When you look at the 5min, the up move seemed to be some meaningless arrangements of green/red bars. You can "Al Brook" all you want on each 5min bar and scratch your head on what...

No this (e.g. today) is not the most difficult market to trade. It was volatile (which was good) and orderly. Not volatile and chaotic. September 2008 was the volatile and chaotic market. And I did great! :D I have been wishing for its return. If you can survive that market, you can...
