Solutions to frequent or odd disconnects from your real-time datafeed (part 2)
by Lawrence Chan on Aug. 3rd, 2010 in Tips & Tricks | Trading - General
Using direct connection has its advantage (over Wi-Fi)
It is best to use direct connection (i.e. with ethernet cable and all that) over Wi-Fi connection, because it can remove one potential cause of disconnect easily. Interference within your home can sometimes disconnect your computer from the Internet.
For example, there are some wireless home phone that, when in use, can drop your computer’s Wi-Fi connection quality significantly. If you experience data lag or disconnect when you are on the phone, then see if you can move the base of the wireless home phone away from the computer to improve the situation.

Something About DaytradingBias.com
by Lawrence Chan on Aug. 2nd, 2010 in What's New
I promised to provide some details on DaytradingBias.com. Here it is!
The concept came from the mass amount of emails I received throughout the years asking for help from retail traders, both beginners and struggling ones. It is no secret that learning to trade is not easy and that daytrading is well-known for its 90% failure rate within first year.
I have answered as many emails as I could and posted some pointer articles in the neoticker blog site. But it seems like the knowledge and information are lost in cyberspace as I keep receiving more questions on similar topics almost all the time.
DaytradingBias.com is my effort to organize the knowledge and information in a way that is easy to access for all.
General trading related materials, educational materials for trading, and commentaries on various markets will be posted in the DaytradingBias.com website, while NeoTicker specific materials will stay with NeoTicker blog. This will make DaytradingBias.com pretty platform neutral and encourage healthy discussions among traders no matter what tools they are using.
