hello guys

I have these indicators that my pc cannot run on the 1m frame...yet on a demo account with a diffrent broker i have no problems at all!!

Why is that?Do you think that if i upgraded my pc with a dual core processor it will make a diffrence or is the problem with my broker and not with my pc.I really don't want to spend money on a dual core and then have the same problem.

Your input would be greatly apprecaited.

I'm not that technical but I know you dont want dual core you want duo core. dual core splits 1 processor between background and operating functions whereas core duo is a single processor for each specific type of task.

A dual core processor won't give you double the speed of single core - usually about 75% increase. The big problem is that a lot of the software today is not written to take advantage of multiple cores so adding more and more cores to the processor will give you diminishing returns.

thank you.I changed my mind i i'm going to replace the entire thing with a new pc.I'm going to from a 2 ghz single core with 1 gb memory to a 2.8 ghz dual core with 2 gb memory and it will cost me with today's exchange rate about 390 u,s dollars.

I wonder how much a g force costs these days?
