{quote} Couple of things to check as far as I know. 1-In Power options of Laptop, High Performance or Balanced there are options for wireless adapter setting and power saving mode. Set it to High performance. 2-In wireless adapter own properties remove check for Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power 3-In wifi adapter settings ıf you have properties like transmit power set it to Max if you want. Hope those will help.
Thanks, all done already and still it is dropping the connection every now and then. No other computer here does it. There are 120 different possibilities, and I'm not going to compile all of them.

{quote} Hmm got the same problem here... is it the rtl8723be module? Switching off power management via a kernel option helps.


Yes, the very same. The thing is, the kernel-module per se is working as intended.

All perfect. Running Windows there isn't a single issue, just using a more sophisticated environment causes problems... hair-curling problems.

I am already checking out Windows10 in a Virtual Machine...

Hello guys, any view on gold? I think there is gonna be a short term retrace as we have run into support before we continue down (chart one). Also supported by divergencies on almost all indics (chart 2).

++ the recent wave could be part of a longer term compresive triangle - chart 3 (even though the counts are not completely coherent - they still illustrate the idea nicely)

{quote} redemption always just around the bend, spoos 1860 double bottom will hold in the new quarter, I reckon
Losing synch with the short term leg in equites left me a bit sideline on the technical side. The floor is still very feeble. I'll stay flat until the Q close and start looking for opps only with NFP.

----- ------ -----

Only equites moving since the the last FOMC, the rest of the board in very comatose sessions. The compression range in oil, gold and euro look al dente for a break out in the next few sessions. Very lethargic and choppy markets, so not much to do but hold (euro & gold) until the Q roll to revaluate mid term outlook and position for NFP short term leg.

Hmm seems you have nasty problem there.
Couple of things came to my mind.
1-Change wireless channel of router.If you use wireless mouse sometimes it may disturb wifi signal. So setting router channel to high values above 9 may help.
2-Disable Bluetooth
3-Assign Static IP and also in router assign static IP for your MAC address as well.
4-Using inSSIDer or similar programs search available networks near you and check if there is another router with same channel configuration near you which may interrupt your wireless signal

Was it you, who mentioned gold pointing to 1190's few weeks ago..? This is what it may shoot for if 1120's holds and 1160 gives.
U/J also.. despite climbing here and there, but keeps finding sellers for 115.80...

Yeap but i just got stopped out with news on the remaining. Both Euro and Gold bulls are choking at these levels and they will need a strong hand from somewhere to avoid failure. It has been a strong basket of hawkish dollar FA reports and comments in the last couple of weeks but TA wise has been pointing up since the FOMC (thus the chop and neutral range).

Losing 1.129x (Euro) and 1108.xx (Gold) for the Q roll will be a strong signal for the mid term swings .... here not much to do for the NY session, only holding remaining very dull euro longs without much expectations at all that they will survive till NFP...

Tracking Quarterly closes across the board and mapping potential NFP swings to get in synch with markets....

Hi Sisse: Can I ask why you been bullish on Gold? Around and after the last Fed meeting Gold went up because there was no clarity from Fed. Now its going down because Yellen in her recent speech gave a clear timeline on rate increase. I expect it to go down until next Fed and may be we will see sell the news reaction as people will realize 0.25 increase with the note from Fed further increases will be very gradual as not a good news.. Is my analysis in line with yours or am i way off?

Interestingly I have Gold intraday level at 1110.5 for an attack on morning highs.

Hi Sisse: Can I ask why you been bullish on Gold? Around and after the last Fed meeting Gold went up because there was no clarity from Fed. ...}

In a nutshell:

--->Last FED announcement = No hikes / confused FED .

Meaning longs/retrace mid term 1108 -> 1190 with the play extended until the Quarterly roll week (today) [check back posts for exact reference on the flows]

---> Yellen went all in with the speech last week announcing Dec hikes and + macro outlook

Markets got caught in between. Selloff in equities first (via 'confirmed' DEC hikes) and Gold and dollar are catching up.

---> Why did I hold so long Gold (and still Euro) after Yellen words:

  1. Boat was full to the other side after the FOMC (strong TA long signals in both)
  2. Yellen announcement was outside the normal official channels right after a very long and detailed FOMC (which made her look very stupid to be honest)
  3. and with the Q roll still in play so decision was/is "Why bother closing for crumbs without a clear FA confirmation when there is a slight chance for a swing Homerun ...."

I hope it helps

Yeah I have the same card. Sucks balls but setting fwlps=0 and swlps=0 at least improves the wireless disconnects a bit. Still not optimal but at least its workable and I can trade. I'm using linux btw.

It's funny to say it, but I don't trust those "workarounds". It will disconnect in the worst possible moment or I forget to recompile when a kernel-update happens. Unfortunately, I didn't include the rtl8723 in my research before ordering the computer, because it never gave me any trouble before.
Well, it will be dual-boot, just for the Jekyll-and-Hyde inside of me.

well don't miss it...

"...Most FOMC [Federal Open Market Committee] participants, including myself, currently anticipate that achieving these conditions will likely entail an initial increase in the federal funds rate later this year, followed by a gradual pace of tightening thereafter," she said, according to a transcript of her speech ...

Hmm I understand it's not cool to have a card that's not too well supported but honestly if it works by adding parameters (to disable power savings on hardware and software level - hardly a workaround but more disabling malfunctioning parts) then I say, why not? Also if you're adding kernel parameters (e.g. via /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf) then you won't have to remember to recompile. Hope it helps. Good luck.

I also thought about dumping the card and getting a new one, but I'm lazy lol.
