    One more newbie question

    Yeppers. If you are trading during "normal" trading hours (ie 9:30AM to 4:00PM ET) then spreads should just about always be one tick on ES and NQ.

    Buying A Computer From Dell Direct

    Assemblers like Dell don't go around adding fans to video cards. Esecially assemblers like Dell and Gateway who cater to price conscious buyers. Just a quick lesson for folks who are kinda new to the whole multi-tiered video card thing, nVidia makes video-card chipsets, and various...

    AMD vs. Pentium Chip

    Fuq that small form factor bs. Sheesh. I encourage traders to build boxes in full size towers, not them washed down things that are easy to carry to LAN parties. It's much easier to work inside a big box, than some freaken palm-pilot thing. Go full ATX. There is plenty of competition there.

    Math problems

    Midpoint of the day: (high-low)*.5 + low I'm not sure what you mean by 75% range, so I cannot give you a forumla for it. Percentage between high and close would be either: (high-close)/close (percent difference compared to close) or (high-close)/high (percent difference compared to...

    Your first stock and what happened??

    Man, I waded into options. And I'm sure all the option folks where like "MMMMM Fresh Meat." But my very first trade made like $400. I got my butt handed to me later though. And several times after that. They made that $400 back many,many times over. In the end however, I paid for part of...

    Separate trading office

    I've been tossing this idea around in my head for some time, but have not reached a conclusion I like. Why do you like having a seperate office? I trade from about a 30 second walk from breakfast. If I want a beer, I go downstairs to the kitchen. My wife works, and we have no kids or pets...

    Trading ego or Trading genius???

    I don't understand what difference it makes. :confused: As I see it, there are basically three categories: 1. He's a good to awesome trader. 2. He's a break-even kinda guy, and only posts his wining trades. 3. He's a complete loser, and tries to make up for it by posting...

    Options Myths

    Heh, I almost fell for that myth. I read that stat and thought to myself "Well sh!t, there's an obvious strategy." Upon further research, it didn't work as well as I thought.

    Buying A Computer From Dell Direct

    I'm pretty sure Dell doesn't make video cards, and I don't think video cards slow down due to heat (although they may shut down or burn out). I do suspect they overclocked your video card, which theoretically kills your warranty on that video card (and mebbe on the entire system). There's no...

    You can do an aysnch call to a routine (plysound I think) in WinMM, so that might help on the skips. I'll give that a try. . . EDIT: sndPlaySound is the name. It's in WinMM only in XP: Private Declare Function sndPlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "sndPlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszSoundName As...
