You can rationalize anything. How do you expect to win unless a trade is entered? There is an augument on both sides. What happens if a trader over trades and each trade is a winner?

Sounds like your current position involves interpersonal skills. Trading has little to do with people skills. Fulltime traders rarely interact with people. We stare at monitors all day looking for the perfect setup. Once it's perfect the trade is triggered and it may still go the opposite direction, there is a certain amount of luck involved. My advice, learn everything there is about trading. It's a craft like anything else. Pick your specialty, equities, futures, options. Take time to master each. Know what you're getting into. Money can be made but a loss moves much faster...

My experience with HP and Dell purchased at the consumer level last a few months pass the warrante. But I have an old HP kayak workstation i bought new with dual P3, 13 yrs a go that's still running. Maybe you had better luck than me. I will take a dell precision over a dell insperon anyday. Totally differant class but they come with similar configs.

Checkout dell refurb website for commercial grade hardware at reasonable prices. Lookout for sales, they drop the price buy an additional 50%...

We all need to earn respect not demand it. Before critisizing, get all the facts straight. without all the facts. How can anyone say $150 computer is bad when you are on a thread with someone that has one with 8 core xeon. I never said I bought mine on ebay. System displays 2gb ram is normal for win32 XP. As long as bios displays 4gb installed.

It's funny how things don't always appear as you may think. :helloooo: I would plain but I would be wasting my breath. Just accept the fact that there are bargains out there if you know what you are looking for. Now, if you read my comment carefully, :haha: You would notice I said "aapl with similar config goes for over 1k". You most likely don't know what aapl is. moving right along, buy your best deal at best buy or costo, i'm sure your mom has a membership card. Ask them for dual xeon and quad core.. :rofl:

I will open the box and make sure the ram is seated properly. Maybe I will send pics...

Whatever, this computer runs great. I'm sure there is better but for $150 bucks it does the job. I would recommend the dell precision product line. Buying reburb maybe less than building, mine was...

Yeah, I don't know why it's showing 2gb ram. It actually has 4gb ram. I will look into this. I been having fairly good luck buying reburbished commerical computers. It came with 8 cores, actually 2x4 core xeons. Same appl config is over 1000 on used market. http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/precn/en/spec_precn_690_en.pdf

Funny how there are so many negative people in the world. I paid $150 bucks for mine. But I am alittle familar with the topic. This includes separtely sourcing 2 scsi fujitsu hard drives running at 15k rpm. Ask them to guarntee what you are getting. Try dell refurb site fisrt, educate yourself and learn what you are buying. Ask for system print out to verify what you are buying.

Checkout dell and ebay for refurbished dell precision 690 or better. Look for 2 processor, xeon, dual core, quad core is better. They go for around 300 bucks. They are commerical grade not found at tiger direct or best buy. Ugly box but they are loaded. For quad display, checkout nVidia Quadro NVS450 NVS 450 Graphic Card, make sure Cables are included, they go for around 200-300 bucks on ebay or just buy another dell 690. They usually come with highend dual display graphic card. Having a second computer as back up is the way to go vs quad graphics card. Building takes time, minimal savings if any. Just my humble opinion, what do i know...

Think about what you just said. I posted my results, you think they're not real but you post nothing. Before shooting your mouth off, let's see what you have. You most likely have nothing to share ...

I agree with you, no argument here. The day trade charts i posted look nice on the 1 minute though. I also manually day trade along with my auto trades. Just wondering if anyone else auto day trading...

Don't be fooled. I have private messages...

I trade my own account between assignments, I have many results much better than posted. I am an IT consultant for large corporations outside of day trading. I see you are attempting to promote your easylanguage consulting. Please do not consider me as competition, we are in differant leagues. I guess if I make money at it. It's no longer a hobby. But it's a great way to pay for toys...

You have no right to speak on behave of me or anyone else. You are not creditable. So keep you opinions to yourself. There is always someone in the peanut gallary. Seems like you are front and center.

I just added stoploss code to my strategy...

"We're aware" ? You are talking for everyone one on this board, even me. That's a fine way to introducing yourself. Anyone can criticize, even you. So far you are not creditable. I started this thread to share results. Let's see your daily results. Then we can compare notes. Did you read the first paragraph? I am coding my options strategy but have not come across easylanguage with equity options. I am coding option functions but prefer not to work in a vacume. BTW i have over 25 yrs coding experience but only a few a months with easylanguage, but it's simple enough, looks like pascal. It's the strategy that takes years to refine. My work at the exchange comes in handy, SME and my team developed the exchange generated strategies. So what is it, that you want to share? So far you have only shared your thoughts on what I said. And what you think everyone else is saying. On what i said, as you can see, you were wrong. People like you make me feel sorry i am even on this board.

20111202 back test FAZ, 1 min chart

Same program differant symbol, this time FAZ, same setup 1 minute chart.

FAS Performance Summary...

Day trading FAS using my prog on 1 minute chart. Similar results on FAZ, TNA, TZA and more. Back tested for months, now live. The signals are also used for manual entering options trading. Anyone using easylanguage to automate options trading?

hmmm masses of ram? trading systems are not ram or processor intensive. winXP 32 bit OS max out at 4 GB ram, win7 64 bit access 8gb ram. Which is plenty for trading. A 60 inch TV is 1080P which display is the same as 20" LED/LCD 1080P, just larger in size, not more text. i run 4x1200P monitors, 1 desktop and 1 laptop (also 1200p), just in case 1 computer goes down. Highend quad graphics cards can be expensive (as much as another computer) and over kill for trading, same for raid (storage, unless your making videos). Save your money for commercial grade pc not found at best buy, like dell precision series. I run TS, etradePro, spreadsheet, word, multicharts, browser all at the sametime on 4gb ram on my dell precision intel 2.66 duo core. They are available on dells refurb site for 300 bucks with dual monitor support, add 75 for xeon, add $75 for quad core cpu. I have owned top of the line consumer computers, something burns out every 2 yrs. I hope this helps...

What is your price fluctuation? I would be interesting to see your high to low price spread. A 10 year strategy is a long time to put money at risk...
