    Matcha's Dow E-mini Journal

    I too just started to look at volume profile to assist my trades. I just completed my own volume profile indicator "BoliVolProfileRT". :) Here I looked at the DIA (proxy of Dow). Early in the morning, today's profile has not been built in the first few minutes. So you would lean on...

    Quad core doesn't support xp pro?

    I hope that the term "upgrade" you were thinking of was not just buying a new processor chip. You are limited to the chip socket's design and the motherboard. You are pretty much better off to buy a new computer. I have made my suggestions a few times in other threads. A summary is...

    first basic home trade station questions

    Hmmm... my search didn't show any from PNY Technologies. But ASUS card 8400GS for $32.99, and EVGA card 8400GS for $39.82. I have some EVGA cards myself and they are pretty good too...

    Slow Computer: RAM??

    Some members on ET are very uncivilized. See what I needed to put up with whenever I mentioned I have many LCD screens? That's the first thing that came out of their mouth. The second thing is "what you need that for?".

    Slow Computer: RAM??

    Standby is >850MB. May not be too bad. But did see a few hard faults. If this is constantly spiking, then CPU is spending a lot of time swapping/paging data to disk from memory. As I thought... a lot of Internet Explorer instances. Each ate up a chunk of your virtual memory. Be careful...

    Slow Computer: RAM??

    Win7 only: Turn off the automatic aero peek and other stuff: 1) Go to System Properties (right click "Computer" in an explorer window and do properties) 2) Click Advanced System Settings 3) you should be on the Advanced Tab, in the performance section, click "Settings..." 4) Uncheck...

    Slow Computer: RAM??

    To capture the image: When the Resource Monitor app is up, do a Alt-PrintScreen to capture it. Start Microsoft Paint. Do a control-V to paste it to Paint. Then do a SaveAs, give it a file name. "Resource.png" or something. On ET, when you post a reply there is a button "Choose File" at...

    Slow Computer: RAM??

    Also... forgot to mention: If you haven't done so already... Win7 by default uses those aero schemes (like translucent windows title bar, 3D task selection, the whole 9 yard. All those are CPU hogs. Eye candies. I have turned them all off and get back to the basics (like solid blue...

    Slow Computer: RAM??

    I tend to think differently. I don't think 32-bit versus 64-bit are relevant. I use all 64-bit version of Windows on my trading boxes. They run in 32-bit mode, I believe, but I didn't notice any difference. No faster/slower. Agree that 2 computers are best to separate office work from...

    Slow Computer: RAM??

    You have Win7 Ultimate 64. Good. Do this to take a look: Start Task Manager. Go to "Performance" tab. Hit the bottom to invoke "Resource Monitor". Go to the "Memory" tab. What do you see? (Enclosed is my example) Pinpoint the processes (image names) that commits the most memory...

    buying a computer for day trading

    Yes, the technology is called "routing". You can use your computer as a router to route packets between two networks. For example, you hook up your computer to the Comcast cable modem, and on the other Etherport you hook it up to a switch. Then your computer #2, #3, #4, etc.. can share the...

    first basic home trade station questions

    1. Looks like you can order the card 8400 GS DMS 512MB PCI-e 2.0 (SKU VCG84DMS5SXPB) directly from PNY. But they charge $59.99 (probably the list price) for each. This is the one I am using and I know it works in Windows 7. http://www3.pny.com/8400-GS-DMS-512MB-PCI-e-20-P2875C269.aspx...

    Who Am I Now Friends With? Part II

    Good for you! Those 3 are what I trade on a daily basis. I have slowed down on my trades. Not as many as you these days. I monitor only 5 stocks/ETF. Those 3 you mentioned, plus RIMM (don't know why I still keep watching this dog), and SPY - that's my center piece for benchmarking. I...
