[05:59] <@NihabaAshi> Here's the reason why I asked... [06:00] <@NihabaAshi> We have a problem with many users in this room "unwilling" to give a little back to the room while they use it. [06:01] <@NihabaAshi> Thus, I'm going to make it "mandatory" that all room users have till the end of next week to post a basic-simple profile of their trading experience, trading style at the snail-mail discussion board. [06:02] That's cool, easy enough [06:02] <@NihabaAshi> I'm currently working on it right now to setup those special forum threads at the discussion boards. [06:03] I gotta reboot, every time I load IE, it stops dead :( [06:04] <@NihabaAshi> What version? [06:04] <@NihabaAshi> Are you also running any firewall programs in the background like ZoneAlarm or Norton... [06:05] I think it's 6.0X [06:05] I didn't have a problem until I loaded e-signal [06:05] <@NihabaAshi> they slow down IE and many trading chart programs. [06:05] <@NihabaAshi> Slower split second trade executions. [06:06] <@NihabaAshi> Not important unless the market is moving fast.
