The best thing to do is to backup your computer to some type of removable media (hard drive, tape, CDR, etc) and store the copy off premises. Disk mirrioring is going to limit your chances of loosing data if a hard drive crashes but it will certainly not protect you from a fire or lightning...

Ghost Rules! I use it all the time. I created a bootable DOS CD with ghost on it. The CD automatically detects your network hardware and allows you to map from DOS a network drive. Then you can run GHOST and save or restore an image to or from a mapped network drive or a CDR. I have also...

I think that members who rarely post but always have something of substance to offer should obtain a higher status than those who post frequently and have very little to offer. Sometimes silence is golden.

I just upgraded my Esignal to 7.2. With regard to the SuperMontage that replaces the Level II: 1.) I am unable to rearrange the order of the columns for the MMID, Bid, BSize, Ask, ASize, etc. It would be nice if I could make the Bid column right next to the Ask. 2.) A scroll bar now...

On an Advanced Chart, Is there a way to display only two decimal places for study values on the price axis? I am displaying 4 and 5 decimal places. This makes the price area wider than it needs to be and eats up valuable screen space. Also, On daily charts the name of the month is displayed on...

Could someone please tell me how to do a symbol overlay with an advanced chart? Thanks, Mike

I used Esignal 6.0 and cancelled and went to RealTick earlier this year. Now I'm back to Esignal, primarily because I'm not trading every day and REalTick was costing almost 3 bills. I really miss the Oz scanner! Today is the first chance I have had to work with the platform Esignal has...

I use newegg.com for almost everything. I use ussa.com also. Sometimes they have better prices than newegg but it takes them a while to get it out the door. Mike

3Ware and Adaptec are much better that Promise and HighPoint for this reason. However, Raid Level 1 still requires backing up data because OS/viruses/software can still cause data corruption. Some cards support multiple mirrored sets. Mike

IB's "BEST" route could cost you. If they hit a route that is not IOC (Immediate or Canel) your trade could get delayed do to their algorhythm. With RT, all of the ECN's will go outside of their books automatically if you become their inside bid or ask. In, a fast moving market, you can...

No, I mean RealTick. Mike

It's a tradeoff. RT has an awesome trading platform and excellent reliability. RT is definitely better than TWS. It also has hefty broker commissions compared to IB. I highly recommend GlobalTradz.com. They have the lowest commissions of all RT partnered brokers and excellent support. IB...

Would someone come over here and kick me in the ass! INTU traded up to 48.18. Mike

It traded up to ~47.60 two more times, but could not break through. I was thinking about selling at ~47.50 when all of a sudden it dropped like a rock. I bailed and got filled at 47.25. Mike

INTU came up on Usual Suspects Scan. I bought in after it made a slight pullback at 9:54 - It did not make a lower low. Entry 47.26 Stop 47.10 Target 48.30 At 10:00, it rocket up to 47.60. I did not sell. I knew it would pullback but I wanted to ride it out. The futures turned. As...

Long CKFR (Usual Suspects) Entry 9:48@20.75 Stop 20.70 Target 21.45 I bought in on a slight pull back. This trade was painstakingly boring. It traded between 20.70 to 20.90 until 11:11. It broke out and reached 21.15. I should have sold there, which was just over the PivotLine. Instead I...

I traded ERTS 3 times today. It came up on Ususal Suspects. 2 Days ago it broke the 50 Day MA - showing some weakness. Yesterday, it busted through recent highs (64.50) and closed at 65.21 (High of the day). Today, it started showing weakness as the futures peaked at ~10:30. The MM's...

Long VRTS (Bottom Fisher) Entry: 21.57 Stop: 21.45 Target 23.23 Bailed at 21.59 - stock not moving & selling pressure. Mike

Is that the $50 dollar extra question? Mike

I will be trading later this week and intend to post. Mike
