    IG Index ProRealTime Problems

    Sounds like the new chart window is covering the ProScreener list, in which case try pressing Ctrl and E to get the Proscreener list back on top. If the drop down in the list window is highlighted, try pressing the tab key to remove focus from it before using the cursor keys. Personally I use...

    Handle leak in CMC MarketMaker

    Hi, Managed to 'cure' the handle problem by moving the main MarketMaker window across to the other monitor and back again, after that is stops it's handle eating... :confused: As for the minimum spec, I'd advise plenty of memory, I think CMCs recommended amount is 1024MB though 512MB might...

    Handle leak in CMC MarketMaker

    Hi Marben, Thanks for that, looks like the problem is elsewhere then. I've 10 charts open on MarketMaker and 1.25G of RAM which should be plenty. Looks like a reinstall of XP will be called for over the weekend... :frown: I'll probably just create another XP install on a second partition...

    Handle leak in CMC MarketMaker

    Hi, Would like to know if anyone else is seeing the same problem as I am with CMC MarketMaker 5? Handles can be monitored in XP Taskmanager by clicking on 'Processes' then 'View/Select Columns.../Handle Count/OK' What happens is when the main MarketMaker window is not minimised, the handle...

    Live Charts???

    Hi Chuck, Does Marketcenter work with QuoteTracker at all? Also how would I get real time DAX, would it come under the Deutche Boerse exchange fees at $23/mo? Thanks, Pete.

    Any users of Yahoo MarketTracker

    Hi Perrington, I have used it in the past as a cheap way of getting real time FTSE/DAX indexes but the charting is useless. I now use QuoteTracker (free with ads or $60/yr) and IQFeed for US ($20/mo), and MoneyAM for UK (£20/mo incl FTSE index) If you want forex open a CMC account, CMC's...

    dc2000, Does psycology play a role in your trading? Do you trade a system or discretionary? cheers, Pete.

    Commentary on The Journey from the Basement

    Hi, Some more ideas and views on trader psycology would be nice instead of knocking each other (bit of irony there... :| ) cheers, Pete.

    Commentary on The Journey from the Basement

    Hi JungleJim, Mark Douglas wrote 'The Disciplined Trader' and later wrote 'Trading in The Zone' which expanded on the ideas in the first book. He came out with some very good ideas on trading psycology, although the books do labour the point a bit. If you can borrow them or have an hour to...

    Time - Developing JftB Issues

    Hi, (Someone pulled my previous post so I am reinstating it): As far as trading psycology goes, IMHO it's a personal thing, some traders may not have any psycological issues at all, and some may have to delve deep within themselves to gain success. But the same approach will not work for...

    Commentary on The Journey from the Basement

    Jungle Jim, You and Socrates are by no means the only people to think of survival in those terms, and it's by no means new. Check out Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=lang_en&ie=UTF-8&q=survival+love+%22self+actualisation%22 As for Trading Persona and Higher...

    Time - Developing JftB Issues

    OK, I'll say something more sensible. As far as trading psycology goes, IMHO it's a personal thing, some traders may not have any psycological issues at all, and some may have to delve deep within themselves to gain success. But the same approach will not work for everyone, just as some...
