I bought a shuttle X - indeed has only one PCI slot, but also one AGP slot along with the built in video card. Ditched the floppy drive (have an external USB sony one still for emergencies) and ordered it with 2 120Gb hard drives. Nice. Quiet too. coops

www.dvddecrypter.com - is a free dvd decrypter..takes out any copyrighting malarkey, then use say Intervideo DVD copy to copy the decrypted files. Works fine. DVDcopy can also save to DivX files etc so you can keep on your hard disk in a compressed format. coops

AVG - never a problem, used it on 4 pc's so far... would also recommend Opera web browser, excellent and has very good email client built in. Keep your IE6 available just for the odd web site that doesn't work with anything else.... like having a spare free web email account purely for...

also go to http://www.wilderssecurity.com. and get spyware blaster - this runs like a virus checker and will prevent any new infections/ trojan installs etc. The Spybot search and destroy will clean things up great, but doesn't monitor continuously. For regular pop up killing, I...

I gave up on Esignal due to the bad Eurex data. Switched to IRd at www.ird.com, a realtick service, which has been way better. An interesting thing (looking at ESTX50 quotes, but Dax would be the same) has been that IB quotes are still mostly slightly more timely than from IRD. IB's quotes are...

I use IRD at www.ird.com . It's Realtick based. It was mentioned in previous posts that US residents can't use them (!!), which would be a shame. Data is reliable and way better than Esignal was ( i gave up on them due to their crappy Euro feed). btw IB's own feed into TWS is slightly quicker...

I thought esignal were meant to be changing their feed for ESTX etc..... was awful before, no bid or ask size on quotes, no volume, lag etc etc. If it's still bad you should definitely contact them, they were meant to be getting a direct feed from the exchange. I ditched them for IRD - more...

oh dear, oh dear.... ditched by Pepsi, and now advertising....... a Toyota. Oh, the humiliation. I'm in Thailand, so was surprised to see her face on a newspaper ad for the Toyota Vios. You've never heard of it have you? Course not - it's the model BELOW the Corolla (now you know there...

look at IRd, www.ird.com Realtick software, data for US, Europe, Asia. coops the Eurex data is way better than Esignal.

take a look at www.ft.com - global news from the Financial Times. coops

An Access database would be better for analysis etc but haven't got round to that....... here's one sheet from my trading log - it's for futures (either ES or ESTX50 eurostoxx50). It'll calculate profit/loss for either - the commssions used are for IB. To make it easier once you've entered...

Ditch, check out www.ird.com not available to US customers someone mentioned.... otherwise has volume for ESTX. coops

x-or, not sure what time your trade was exactly..... in CET time (ie local time). My IB executions are 6 hours behind CET ie IB executes at 3:04 (NY time) which is 9:04 CET. The only time on the 11th at 10 minutes past that is around the 2410 price seems to be at 11:10, so here is the Tick...

Have been using Esignal - compared to IB i can't say i've seen 20sec delays.... but on the other hand, now have IRD to compare it too.... Esignal euro feed has no volume in the charts, either minute or tick charts. My tick charts have no historical info at startup approx 30min before market...

Mr X, what's with the x penchant...... ? and the alter :- aaaaahh, the days of traderX - i remember them well. He's still out there cranking out millions from NVDA, remarkable.... still mildy amused tho, old chap coops

thanks def, 3am HK is 3pm NY and 2am Bangkok where i am - hence trade the morning session only for US futures - so the one HK server and account should be ok - i'll have a think about it :) have'nt had any disconnect probs etc recently, so ...... if it aint broke and so forth. coops

def, do you mean 24hr server in US? ie no longer having the middayish Asia problem (if you're using a US server)... more importantly, how about the HK server... in other words, if i change to HK server will my account be shutdown some other time (HK midnight perhaps?) for maintenance...

btw, for charting available for HK, IRD at www.ird.com provide realtick charting for HK, Eurex and loads of others too..... they've got a free 7 day trial too. coops

qwiktrade: for DAX futures in Qt use DTB:@FDAX DEC 02 exactly as above with the colon and @ etc.... weird no.... btw the eurostoxx50 is DTB:@FESX DEC 02 go to the eurex website to get their symbol for the product ie FDAX for DAx futures then as above.... QT emailed me a reply about...

feeling lazy - :p how to back up the current TWs version java applet? sounds very useful indeedy...... thanks coops
