a great idea which has been attempted numerous times on many similar forums across the net, thus the cynicism (?) when its proposed yet again. However i do believe that many people learn by taking part or watching a system get dissected by more experienced players or fails due to market...

yes, mac addresses can be captured and spoofed. :evil: Use WEP, yes .there is a performance overhead depending on the encryption level that you set ie. 128, 68 bit etc. As with most things this varies with manaufacturer and the location of your laptop with respect to your wireless router.

Thanks Anon, looks like i will have to delve deeper into Limit orders etc :cheesy:

LOL Anon, havnt looked into betting exchanges, didnt realise they had progressed into trading stocks etc. Im assuming from your comments that you have some experience in this area. Not quite sure how a program makes a calculation error unless the data that it relies on for computing the output...

Using a software program to do the spreadbetting, i seem to remember from a few years back that someone was playing with sreenscraper software to automate the placing of trades. Just curious if anyone had been able to do this succesfully since i would imagine that the screenscraper software...

Has anyone figured out a way to automate a spreadbetting account? :cheesy:

Yes, well done indeed Sunny, an excellent location with a good mix of interested traders who im sure would want to repeat the experience now that we have "broken the ice" so to speak. Has anyone got any further info on the "execution brokers only" ban, it would be devastating if it comes into...

Count me in as well. There were several people living around this area a few years ago who were playing the markets. It would be nice to meet up and exchange ideas etc. Its always interesting to get others peoples "take" on the game and put faces to names etc. Hugh

i dont drive (medical reasons) so for me the location would have to be accessible by public transport. :rolleyes: Otherwise the date proposed would be fine, perhaps the next meeting might be closer.

Hi folks, i would be interested in attending if u are meeting up in Nottingham! :lol:

Just replacing old hardware with new, companies are forced down this road when they want to upgrade to the latest and greatest Operating System, usually XP nowadays. :rolleyes: This frequently leads to problems when legacy (and not so legacy!) software is reinstalled on the new machines thus...

The simplest way into IT for the inexperienced is doing deployments ie. putting boxs on desktops. Due to the pressure to complete these rollouts on time/budget there are frequent opportunities to pick up techie skills and start doing desk side support work. If you are reasonably familiar with...

LOL! i was just starting out in the trading game and investigating everything and anything that looked interesting! Holy Grail etc. Wave 59 (if thats what its called) looked much to complex but intriging. Eventualy settled on forex, keeping it as simple as possible!! No need for seperate...

i looked at some software called wave59 (i think) a few years ago which incorporated astrological predictions which seemed highly accurate. Didnt have time to test properly and have always meant to investigate further but not got round to it yet.

Yet another thought, is the reset a "make" or "break" action. ie does the reset switch have to be "made" before the cpu will run and "open" to reset. Just thinking that all those components cant be duff! Could it be a motherboard link or switch settings.
