    RAM usage on XP for Ninjatrader

    Much of your performance will depend on how indicator-intensive your charts are and whether the code for them is efficient. Obviously the fewer you have and the more that "Calculate on bar close = true", the better-off you will be. Also minute charts will be easier on the machine than tick or...

    Errand of Mercy

    What you describe is why Henry Ford said he needed to pay his workers decent wages - so they could buy his cars. But now it is all about skimming the maximum off the profits for your bonus. Somebody had mentioned building a highway from Mexico to Canada. Sounds dumb - until you read about...

    Apple seeks antenna engineers after 'Death Grip' debacle, 10+ yrs exp & thick skin

    They can always coat the rim with transparent non-conductive material. Or manufacture Apple Tweezers so you can hold the phone while making a call... :D

    If you want to fail as a trader, study TA

    Catching up on some reading and its gotten earthy in this thread. I don't even understand what some of the words used mean... :D "Traders are born not made" - sounds like the original thought of the thread - that you have to think through enough for yourself before you finally are self-born...

    What Can You Do With Free Ninjatrader

    You can update the free NT charts using various brokers (IB, TDA, Mirus, etc). To trade through the ChartTrader and enter orders directly through the software (manual or automated), you need to pay for a license key (unless your broker provides one free). It depends on how complicated you...

    Too bad we can't communicate with Sperm Whales

    The problem is the same as their Top Hat solution - what is coming out of the well is not just oil but gas hydrates. That is methane. Under the high pressure (1 mile down) and cold, it is ICE. It clogs the apertures and produces flotation (lighter than water) underneath.

    If you want to fail as a trader, study TA

    It sounds to me like once you've developed a decent sized list of "candidates", that becomes your monitoring list. Of course, you can always add/subtract from it as you see opportunity arise, but you have a standard foundation to start with. The list has to fulfill certain criteria of course...

    RBT - Reverse Brain Technology

    Yes, everything must begin with thought. But "from whence" do your thoughts come? There are thoughts that come from first-hand experience, and thoughts from what I call "hand-me-down's" - which are really more "feelings" than thoughts, but which are often erroneously called thoughts. The...

    RBT - Reverse Brain Technology

    I think they covered this in the Matrix movies. There is no spoon. Morpheus: "Everything begins with choice." Merovingian: "No. Wrong. Choice is an illusion, created between those with power, and those without."

    If you want to fail as a trader, study TA

    If you are using TradeStation, their EasyLanguage is a relatively easy lingo to code in, so you should be able to make some helpers for when you nod-off in front of the screen. All charting packages have some stuff you can use these days, though frankly the line-drawing tools are many times...
