I live in Wichita, Kansas, so I shouldn't really have a problem.

If I didn't need the apartment for other things, I let it go and get a wireless card for the laptop.
I assume you are in an area that has the wireless data service available.
I have stayed online all day with no problems.

Finally getting back to answering. Don't ever import your daily data into your Intraday database. Ouch. If you do, don't try to fix, just go back to the last backup. Much quicker.
Wireless and Intraday:
I'm trading 30 minute bars, so I just check on markets periodically thru the day. I use stops to enter and exit. I'm a swing trader, not a true day trader. I still work for a living, so I'm looking for a setup that allows me to check on things while at work. I really don't need to be able to go anywhere capability. I have rented an apartment close to where I work, just to have access to my computer at least once a day. (check them over lunch).
$80/mth is cheaper than my rent even after taxes (office).
Right now simple dial-up meets my intraday needs.
Considering my situation, what do you think?
Kevin

The cell phone connects through a USBport. Any laptop or tower will work fine.If you are planning on using the cell phone to receive real time quotes, beaware of two issues: the cell phone will be using up minutes whileconnected; and data transfer rates depend on the traffic through the toweryou are using. If you have a 400 minute per month package with freeevenings and weekends, that gives about 20 minutes per trading day beforegoing outside the 400 minutes. When other users increase their trafficthrough the tower you are using, data you are receiving will slow down. Iwould not depend on a cell phone for real time data. But it works fine forend of day data.Howard-----Original Message-----From: Kevin243@xxxxxxx [mailto:Kevin243@xxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, February 08, 2004 4:03 PMTo: amibroker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxSubject: Re: [amibroker] Re: Laptop and WirelessDid you build your machine?If possible, I'd like to buy a turnkey system?I'm interested in using it for Intraday trading, which I do now, but notvery gracefully.I did join the other Yahoo group.
