I just use Norton Ghost to back up my drive once every other day so just in case disaster strikes, spyware, virus, malware, crash, dead drive, I can click a button and my drive is back to where it was a few days back. Try it, its really great.

Sure, treat yourself to a new PC, if it makes your charts move faster, then good for you!

Re: Should I buy a new computer for Trading?
Would you say the best trading computers deal more with the more ram you have as you open more and more charts? CPU really doesn't matter unless its ancient.
The superior person uses his mind like a mirror: it accepts all, it reflects all. It recieves, but it does not keep.

Re: Should I buy a new computer for Trading?
Personally, I would build my own box and partition the hard drive for two OSs (probably Win7 and Ubuntu), that way if Windows crashes I'll still have access to vital data. You could also use an external hard drive for this utility though.
Another thing you could do is make sure your firewall, anti-virus and malware removal tool are up to date and functioning, with these tools in place most of the time a computer will last you two-three years.

Re: Should I buy a new computer for Trading?
Go ahead. Invest in one. It's your stallion; your tool; your best friend. The charts move faster, you can execute trades faster and you will certainly like the feeling of "new". Indulge, buddy!

Re: Should I buy a new computer for Trading?
Forex Ninja has a good point, it will make you far much more in the long run. Just sucks when you start out having nothing almost in this industry.
Maybe Forex itself isn't for public consumption.
