Long,
I see that you try to track 1200 stocks. I admire your ability to do so.
If you are running a trading service or a mutual fund, I can see the
purpose.
However, if you are trading for a living. You may need to ask youself this
question is: for what?
I used to do that with RadarScreen. It created nothing for me but computer
crash, headache,
confusion and losses. Then I narrowed it to 300. Then I narrowed it down
to 20.
Lately, I found on my most profitable days, I am only tracking 3-6 stocks
real time. The rest if EOD.
Even the most famous Jesse Livermore could not handle more than a few stocks
at a time
(maybe he did not have TradeStation 8 and triple processors). What make me
think that I would be
more profitable doing otherwise?
Regards,
hc

Subject: 2000i and Dual Processor
Hello,
I read a complain about TS7 with a dual AMD system.
Now I am thinking of using Dell workstation 450, dual processor capable, to
do some of my work. Tracking about 1200 stocks in real time with Radar
Screen.
Can we have some feedback from people with experience in using 2000i running
on a dual processors? Is it necessary to have a 15,000 rpm SCSI hard drive?
How much Ram? Will XP hit 100% CPU usage? Which OS is more stable?
Have a good weekend!
Long
