    Your Thougts on Real Estate Commission

    It's fairly simple, and I've done it myself with 7 figure properties. Write an excellent ad, including great pics. For ideas, review high end properties and properties of strong local agents. Hire a company to list it on the MLS for you for a flat fee of $300-500. This step eliminates...

    Here comes the 12 monitor video card

    Not that big of a deal because the card is 3 slots wide. For multi-monitor trading systems, better to go with this: PNY NVS 450 - each card supports 4 x 30" monitors at full resolution - supports DisplayPort and DVI - based on the more reliable nVidia chipset - occupies a single slot...

    Building your own trading computer

    Probably the nicest "PC Build Guide" I've seen is posted on the homepage of the Eureka website: http://eureka123.com/ Retail traders tend to be more cost sensitive, and the referenced doc may or may not be ideally suited to them. I suspect most retail traders will want to stick with IBM...

    x trader pro question

    As you know, stop limit order functionality exists natively on the exchange to limit exposure to an adverse move. Apart from that, X_Trader Pro order management logic runs on the Client side, and therefore is unable to cancel working orders during a connectivity outage. As a practical...

    System Trading and Shooting

    Well, first I'll say that ya gotta love Arizona for its open carry laws. But, by "insults" I rather think TRO means "exposing the facts." Let's say I see a bad guy stealing a woman's purse and I say, "Stop you fucking thief!" Would one characterize that as "insulting" or rather as...

    Not Holy but Close Grail

    cnb: well done. I happen to have created something similar, and what you created is very useful. Equally important, your chart will spark other good ideas. Here's an additional idea for you. Create a supplemental version by replacing your left numbered column (1-31) with a day-of-week...

    System Trading and Shooting

    Fair enough Art. One of my favorites for concealed carry: Seecamp LWS32, also available in .380ACP in same frame size. Disadvantage: only 11 oz with empty magazine so won't do as much damage when you hurl it at your assailant. F=ma and all. One imagines a wrong handed 'girl throw' at...

    The case against college

    A broad college education, along with one's capacity to adapt and learn, is more important than ever. As a practical matter, I would have HR do an initial sort of resumes into two stacks. The stack without a degree is placed in the cylinder shaped file. There's a nice self-filter as well...

    7 rich athletes who lost their fortunes.

    As I recall, VanWinkle filed for bankruptcy in the mid-90s, spiraled down on heavy drugs (H), attempted suicide, etc. I think he's back on a healthy track now.

    Worst job in the world, Notifying parents back home that US soldiers are dead.

    LtCol Goodson's original article, which differs in some respects to the first post, was published in the Marine Corps Gazette, September 2007, pages 61-64: http://www.marinecorpsgazette-digital.com/marinecorpsgazette/200709/?pg=63#pg65 semper fi

    Zero Sum Theory.

    The physics analogy does not hold. The law of conservation of energy or the first law of thermodynamics says that matter (energy) can neither be created nor destroyed. However, that does not mean that gross global wealth cannot be increased. Make a list of Neanderthal era inventions. Now...

    If you apply to 759 jobs and get 0 is it you or the jobmarket?

    It is obvious that if you apply to 759 jobs and get 0 it is YOU. To not immediately see the answer to this question, also means it's YOU.

    Can I use Technical Analysis on Future Spreads

    mrbochin, I have not tried to apply conventional TA on the spread delta itself, but I can say that doing real time mathematical analysis on the futures contract spreads would not be a waste of your time and can lead to profitable ideas.
