Computers are so cheap and powerful these days, there is really no need to penny pinch to compromise your trading activity. I would not buy a used computer myself, not for trading, and not even for playing. The reason is very simple: a "deeply discounted", most powerful dual CPU xeon of yesteryear is not nearly as powerful as a middle of the road computer of today. If anybody wants to save some money on computers, the only place I would trust is Dell refurb. They often have "new" computers, either due to overstock, or corporate customer restocks. Make sure you buy current models and not end of line computers.

you love my bod? ;-)

I read it again, you are right, it shows 2 GB physical. Stange.

re: 64 bit XP although it shares the name XP, it is actually a totally different OS (internally) than the 32 bit brother.

the Task Manager screen capture shows 6 GB. I do not have a XP machine anymore, can't double check how the system property looks like. IIRC, it should show more than 2 GB. btw, 32 bit OS can access 4 GB, but under Microsoft's legacy architecture design, only approx 3.5 is usable, and only 2 GB is available to each app. btw (2), Xeon is the first CPU with Intel's Hype-Threading technology.

that's 6 GB the 2 GB committed refers to what is used... probably due to a 32 bit app limitation. ps. that's only 4 cores with multi-thread...that's why it shows up on the TM as 8 core. (4 are virtual cores)

Thanks for the update. 5 years from now, you will say to yourself step #3 again. no, this is not a discouragement, merely a reality check, so that you can prepare yourself. Good luck.

ALLL of these syndicators don't know what content they are posting... they are marketers, not traders. They get whatever essay from the pencil pushers and post them without even doing a proof read. LOL. good for a laugh.

what can you do with 2 vaginas? [puzzled]

if you can pick the top and bottom, you have a unlimited bank machine. why bother going through all the trouble to set up a website and conduct webinars? so that you can deal with greedy noobs who are broke and wants everything but do not want to pay for anything? LOL yes, I am talking about you. yes you... who is a noob and broke and do not have any money and wants everything but do not want to pay for anything by reverse engineer whatever fruits of labor others have to offer. I can tell you, because I have first hand knowledge, when people post a chart, they don't show you everything for free. They would erase some pertinent info, hide some key points, or move data around to confuse you. You would be wasting your time trying to reverse engineer some impossible task. ps. most vendor would cherry pick ONE section of the chart that WORKS, and post it for you to drool on. If you apply the same indicator to one month's worth of data, you might find 10 false signal for every 2 good ones. LOL. but most people would dwell on the good section of the chart and blind to the bad signals... we see what we want to see. Enjoy.

you should be looking for correlations between the volume behavior and whatever patterns you are testing. what patterns are you testing?

if you make the volume pane bigger, much bigger, maybe you can see the correlation between volume and the pattern you are using.

there is notjhing to be afriad of "HFT fear" is just a trading action myth created for the noobs, by the noobs. trading is trading trading goes hyper, then goes slow, then goes hyper again, and the cycle repeats if you know how to read the market, you will find that the so called hft is just as apparant and as transparent and as easy to read as any other market participants. sure there are exceptions, but don't bblame it on hft or mystify hft. vendors like to exploit fear, so thtat they can sell you a solution. LOL and the fear of hft is just the ticket.

just go with the biggest, who supports the widest selection of products, in multiple countries, someone who is a public company, ie. multiple level of regulators and government agencies to scrutinize the accounts, so that they won't/can't run away with your money, someone who is technology savvy, gives you a fast and feature rich platform to work with, have 24 hrs around the clock service, answers the phone with a real human being instead of a voice mail, does not put you on a 40 min hold when you call, have an online ticket system for technical issues, answers email within 24 hrs, with a good and almost free datafeed, have been in business for awhile, so that you are not a guinea pig for their inventions, look around and observe who the professionals use, and go with them. if the professionals think they are ok, they must be doing something right. some people like to try out different brokers. most of them don't have enough money, so they go with the ones who are desparate for your business and are willing to give you 400 to one or 1000 to one or whatever leverage you want. some people think if you have a lot of broker accounts, you must be good. LOL.

if life is so simple, we would all be millionaires years ago.

it's the election year... there is no place to go but up.

What you have written is a blob. You might think it makes sense. Evidently it did no help you to see through the logic. try to reformat your "blob" into simpler thoughts: Buy the break out of opening range. Time frame for opening range is one hour. After one hour fifteen minute .... if Opening Range has not been broken .... then ....strategy would look for .... ....break out of highest high of last 4 bars .... ....( time frame is 15 min through out the chart ) .... ....provided .... .... .... the open type is either .... .... .... .... open drive, .... .... .... .... open rejection reverse up .... .... .... .... or open test drive up note how you breakdown your blob into one thought per line, one action per line one line per sentence... if you are attempting anything half sophisticated, you cannot escape the effort of a flow chart.
