    Life span of a Desktop PC

    Most of the reviews (probably written by Dell!) I've read about XPS have been good. But, of course, not written by those who trade. Do you mean the 3000 Precision series or the 5000? The 3000 CPU is only i5 and can't upgrade. And 5000's CPU is Xeon, and 80% more expensive than XPS8900. These...

    Yes, They are good. I do know though that they are living on borrowed time, but so am I for that matter!! Dell's 8900 series looks like a good replacement for Dimension.

    The Bank of Japan – Ringing in the Endgame?

    Whether Abenomics will/won't fail, has,hasn't failed is not for me to say. But what you guys should keep in mind is that things take much longer to get done here than in western countries. So 3 years seems quite short given the scale of what he is attempting to do.

    The Bank of Japan – Ringing in the Endgame?

    I traded JGB futures for 10 or so years when Kuroda's actions resulted in lower volume, narrower daily range, and sporadic price movement rather than that of an actively traded contract. Given these and other factors, brokers increased margin rates to as much as 5 times over SPAN.

    Anyone Here Been Trading 20+ Years?

    Yeah, the traders who traded for the broker's account. True there were days now and then when you entered a trade and it exceeded the 3% commission. But as so many stocks were manipulated back then, if you could read the price movement, it was best to ride the short term runs.

    Anyone Here Been Trading 20+ Years?

    You can say that again. Where I am(Japan) I had to put up $200,000 just to open a margin account to trade stocks, or the same to open an account to trade options. Now it's zero.

    The Bank of Japan – Ringing in the Endgame?

    Do what I did and put out a contract on Kuroda!:D He destroyed JGB Futures, which was the greatest futures contract in the world.

    Anyone Here Been Trading 20+ Years?

    Been at it for 40 years. Commission back then was around 3% round trip. So no day trading. A usual short term trade was 1 to 2 weeks. The basics of trading are the same now as they were then. The major difference is the speed of price movement. That results in so many more intraday trends...

    dont mean to be complaining but

    Below is what I told you 7 months ago in one of your threads about TA. And, as you say, and as I thought, you have gotten nowhere. You're running around like a chicken with its head cut off. [You've started a large number of threads asking such questions. I and a few others have tried in vain...

    Anyone use esignal?

    I didn't use eSig to place orders, so I can't say if it's easy to use in that respect. If they would just review all of their features and functions and ask, "How can we reduce the number of steps the active trader must go through to use this function?", and ask the same question for anything...

    Anyone use esignal?

    I loved and used eSignal for about 10 years up until about 2 years ago. The reason I stopped was that while the new version 12 had many good and useful features and functions, the guy in charge of building 11(now 12) from scratch left the company, and the following features and functions were...

    Why do traders still use lagging indicators?

    Why do traders still use indicators? Some people who do not have the time, desire, or ability to learn true TA find indicators easy to learn and use. Some people believe that TA ='s indicators, and that's all there is to it. Many people are lead to using indicators by the salesmanship of...

    Trading in coffee shop?

    You may find when you reach his age the comfort of a coffee shop. And also that if he made good money in his younger days, it is now 'winning' that gives him pleasure. Getting old is the pits, and values change dramatically. So rather than wonder about his PnL, prepare yourself, because where he...
