After buying, building, upgrading, computers, I have moved to all Dell. If you get the XPS series, there is 24 hour tech support, if it breaks they come to your place to fix it for one year, which you could extend, and the best feature is the microsoft program. NO KEYS. You can reinstall XP as many times as you like, add more back up hard drives. Still stuck on XP. SAme for Vista. Dell sells the XPS 630i with XP installed. Just make sure you get the XP disk with the delivery. If you want to get cheap, go the dell outlet. Still the same service. I have a 30", 25" and two 20 inch Samsung monitors with no problems. on one system. dual Nvidia 8800gt. I use the core extreme 3000 on one and the core 2 q6600 on the other. I also use the WD raptor as the primary hard drive and a 1 terrabite slave. (all with microsoft XP installed) I tried mirroring two identicle drives as a safety so if one hard drive goes the other take over, but found it slowed things down. A friend of mind who assembles system for big comanies advised me to go to Dell or another company These companies that sell trading computers are just some guys building them in a room somewhere and you pay the markup. Dell has tried and tested a system. I tell you after having a 30 inch main screen, you can never turn back 2048 x 1536 res. Good luck

Hello dkny919 Definately want to participate. A little down the road for me. what system are you using for EUR/JPY Intraday Bid and Ask Scalping? Who is your broker and what trading platform do you use? I sent a lot of info about me and resources I use to Bootstrap today. Not sure how to link it. Thank You.

Hello Hrokling Which Broker do you use with IDEALPRO? I am new to Forex. Been in Equities with the Q's (qqqq) option trading. I sent a long post to Bootstrap today if you get a chance to see where I am in trading. Thank you

Hi Bootstrap Very honorable of you to reveal your struggles. I am at the starting gate in trading. Sold my property, moved away from everybody (NY to Las Vegas) and sit and study solid. It has been 2 months now and have tremendous amount of info and still feel like I know nothing. I have been practice trading the Q's (qqqq) with options. This is what I learned at first. Getting ok with understanding candlesticks, being able to get out of a trade moving against me (paper trading). Just funded an optionhouse.com account, but use another program to watch the charts and the option movement. At the same time I have been looking at the Forex. I have been drawn to added programs that claim to make you money. A lot of them seem to be Meta trader Add ons. One that is very different is Wave59.com, adding intraday predetermined patterns using astrology. Pricey, though. Being a visual person, I like dynamic charts that I could trade on in Forex. I invested in Visualtrader and got an IQfeed for it. I like it, not sure how much it will really help me in the end. I tend to overdo it in the charts and programs right now, but I like to see everything before I decide. Out of that kind of research, free useful info came as well. The best economic calendar I found so far is http://www.forexfactory.com/calendar.php?do=geteventinfo&day=2009-3-10&c=2 Out of researching Forex, got help for equities as well. On trying to decide which broker to use, Still at a loss. ECN's MM, and the rest. These are the two most exstensive sites so far: http://www.goforex.net/forex-broker-ratings.htm and http://www.forexfactory.com/brokers.php The rest I saw in various Blogs. QUESTION..... ANY RECOMENDATIONS ON A WHERE TO TRADE FOREX AND WHAT PLATFORM TO USE? I know you said the add ons are a waste of money. Nothing useful? Thanks again Bootstrap and anybody who will reply. If you are trading the Q's (qqqq) options, and want to interact on this, let me know. Success to all Todd
