    3k to 30k during 6month

    Interesting thread. On first CL contract you were ~28 ticks underwater. How do you calculate your stops? What do you correlate CL contract with?

    College grads getting 10-20 job offers before graduating!!

    It's temporary occurrence lasting until old workforce is replaced by those who don't mind working weekends, have no distractions from working long hours (like family), don't mind brain teasers like reboot this, plug and un-plug that :D

    Dual Screen laptop?

    If internet is wireless - link both laptops with ethernet patch cord and assign static IP to each Local Area Connection ( your wired interface ). If internet is wired - use a hub or a small router/firewall in front of the connection

    ES Journal - 2012

    Should people follow your rules (however right their are) or stop/never post? What if some doesn't feel comfortable for whatever reason. Sharing of opinions or sentiments (all taken with a grain of salt or two) is just as valuable as postings of exact entries. If someone is underwater...

    Milton Friedman Puts A Young (and skinny) Michael Moore In His Place

    A lot of people died or got hurt in the process of "correcting" and while they had no say in that matter, they were quite thankful for the loaf of bread, I'm sure.

    Milton Friedman Puts A Young (and skinny) Michael Moore In His Place

    "placing value and price on someone's life" is being done all the time in environmental controls, food safety, work safety, transportation safety, healthcare, infrastructure, sovereignty. Human life is priced in everything we do or create. Most of the time the goal is to protect as many...

    Intel 80GB SSD $80 w/ 5yr warranty

    320 had a bug but it's been fixed. Intel SSD are head and shoulders above the rest in terms of reliability. For example Newegg's reviews of Intel are much more positive than any other SSD brand. Another brand that might be as good as intel is crucial since both use the same fabs. I also...

    Intel 80GB SSD $80 w/ 5yr warranty

    As you say, faster boot is just one of the benefits and usually provided as a point of reference (benchmark). Why waste your life waiting for things to load or install? SSD make those tasks almost instant. In addition they are shock proof, run cool and are practically noiseless. No laptop...

    From sim to real life

    Stops depend on strategy so no one will be able to tell you exactly what will work in your situation (it seems average stop used is about 3 points). I'd say what's more important is to know resistance levels, average daily and hourly ranges before you can figure out your stops. In addition...

    Excel Trading right from Spreadsheet?

    Calculating s&p 500 index with Excel 2003 takes about 80% of one core of 2.2GHz i7. It recalculates about 2 times a second (DDE is not synchronous so it's hard to say). I read that 2007 version is slower than 2003 and 2010 is the fastest.

    Need advice for new trading laptop

    That's quite a stretch: 17" MacBook Pro $2400 17" Dell XPS $1200 There's little point of getting a MAC if your intention is to run Windows 7. By doing so you're increasing your failure rate (having to maintain two OSes instead of one). If you can use Mac OS exclusively (interactive...

    CPU usage haywired when laptop power unplugged

    Check your power profile. Your maximum processor state while on battery is lower than while plugged in. This means that your laptop will not run at highest frequency (speed) while on batteries to extend runtime. It could also be that your power settings are set for performance while plugged...
