Wasn't there a disco song called "You Ring my Bell"?

For a discount solution, you can have one PC that is dedicated to trading only, and the same PC also have games, movies and whatever else you want. You just have two different hard drives, and you switch between them. Of course, there's the small inconvience of having to reboot each time...

That song's hilarious! :D

That might be enough to push my recommendation to more than a gig. Your system will run much smoother if your recording/playing app can have the whole thing in core, rather than on disk. I'd consider 1.5 gig (three sticks of 512MB) if you expect 500+MB files. If you're just going to have a...

563 counting today. Can you believe it? Wow.

There's an awesome way to understand all these simple option strategies. Plot the profit curve based on the exiting price. If that's too complex, plot the curve for each instrument based on the exit price, then add them up.

I don't record, but I do a screenshot, and sometimes print charts. I know that NihabaAshi occasionally records his trades, you might PM him for some ideas. Take a look at the file size of your recordings. Are they megabytes or gigabytes? Meg, I bet. If you only have files that are a...

To give folks an idea of how big 18 exabytes is, if you started DLing an 18 exabyte "file" at 3 megabits/second (decent broadband cable speed), it would take about 1,558,778 years. Assuming no down time, of course. :D A million and a half years, LOL.

2^64=18,446,744,073,709,551,616 addressable bytes, which is either ~18,446,744,074GB or exactly 18,014,398,509,481,984GB (depending on whether you're old school with 1024 as a K or new school with 1000) as a theorectical limit to the 64 bit CPUs. Either way, that should solve memory problems...

Or even (since 6 months is already a long time for a contest), start trading December 1 for 6 months? You'll get some year end stuff, plus holidaze doldrums plus tax time and the whole month of May. Not quite summer snoozefest, but close.

"it's different this time": A reference to the common idea during the internet bubble that there were other things more important to a stock's value than making money.

And no Szeven posting since? Dang. I was pulling for the guy.

Man, do I hate that meme, it's too clever by half. It's not a stinkin' zero sum game, it's a minus sum game. You got commish, info fees, computer costs, etc. - you gotta be awesome to break even my friend.

Further, not all ticks are sent to the API. On rare occasions, I won't get a new LOD or HOD on ES if only a few contracts trade very briefly in heavy action.

What about paying a neutral party to log into the trading accounts, DL and post the daily results?

Top! We're Doomed!, DOOMED I tell you! ;) Seriously though, yeah I'm a bear. But we've had light volume for a month (more or less) now. And we're due for one of those big ol ~20 point day ranges on ES on high volume. But that could be to the upside. And by now we've a whole new batch...

Might not need to be said, but turn your computer off before you reseat the card, or even open the case.

And especially on these low volume days we've been having. Seems like one never gets a fill unless it trades through when there's not a lot of action.

Thanks. The site emails you with a link to the book soon after signing up. It's a short read, about a couple dozen pages or so, I put it in my stack of reading material.
