    DDE hangs Excel with Windows 7

    From what I gather, it is a problem with 32-bit rundll files (such as chromes internal flash plugin) in a 64-bit system folder. Printers, various browser upgrades, etc. could make use of these rundll libraries. Killing those processes should fix the issue.

    K-1 from echotrade

    I'm reviving this dead thread to see if anyone has a definitive answer to my question. I do not see Form 4797 (line 10) mentioned anywhere in this thread and that seems to be the area to report "Other Trading Gains/Losses" that were listed on Box 11, Code F on a K-1. Is this the correct path...

    DDE hangs Excel with Windows 7

    Win 7 64-bit, Excel 2003 SP3 Anyone had this problem before? I upgraded to Win7 and Excel freezes anytime I try to initiate a DDE link. Crashes and I have to force a shut down. Spreadsheets still work on another PC running WinXP, so I'm guessing it's either a Win7 or 64-bit problem (or...

    Excel Macros running slower in Windows 7 than XP

    Thanks for the responses guys. I don't run some monster systems like some of you do, and my trading is not super low-latency, but it's irritating to see the degradation in performance. I recently spoke with an HFT who scoffed at my use of XP, which prompted the upgrade, only to be even slower...

    Intraday Pair Trading/Stat Arb

    I could never get the hang of this. I'm guessing you need a driver to start the pair divergence? Why not just trade the single name that is trending due to the driver?

    Intraday Pair Trading/Stat Arb

    Been trading pairs for four years now, have had both good and bad years. Let me give you a bit of advice: 1. Cointegration wont matter much intraday. High correlations (>90-95%) won't give enough opportunities to trade either. 2. Keep it simple when it comes to weighting. Feel free to...

    Did you try 'admin'? Dumb suggestion, but you never know That or login to another account with admin powers and see if you can change it there.

    You and every other newb arbitrarily going long everyday is making money. Dont chalk it up to your infallible trend-sniffing instincts, you will lose your account on false entries, flat days, and letting your obvious inability to recognize shortcomings prevent you from capitulating on bad...
