Unfortunately Windows on OSX has become an afterthought. I've left the Apple platform and went to a windows platform after running 6+ years on Mac mini.

Amibroker, have been using it since 2005.

Tried one out and got a sore neck. Had a Dell U2713H - 27" and even that did hurt my neck after a while, went to two Dell U2515H - 25" side by side and all is fine.

My experience has been exactly the opposite. If you have a genuine Windows license and follow the proper installation procedures it is the easiest, foolproof way to install Windows and I have not had a single hickup in all these years. Bootcamp holds all the drivers you'll need. Prior...

Have been trading Interactive Brokers - Amibroker on Windows 7 /8 in bootcamp on a Mac mini since July 2011. Advantages are multiple: No brain dead idiots in a plane wrecking a laptop in my carry on luggage - just take the mac mini, next to indestructable. Keyboard and mouse in checked luggage...

You can tell Time Machine to back up to multiple drives, suggest one locally attached and another across a network. (it is trickier to restore from the network one).

Statistics can be found in this report: http://www.unodc.org/documents/gsh/pdfs/2014_GLOBAL_HOMICIDE_BOOK_web.pdf You may have to interpret the numbers.

Similar to the stance President Roosevelt had - if you do not adopt to the culture of your new country then you have no right to be there.

Only ever heard the name, would not have a clue how to use it. I trade discretionary and even do not follow the news - the charts tell everything there is to know.

Have been happily using Amibroker on two 27" monitors on a Apple Mac mini. CPU load runs at approx. 7%. The 2014 model natively supports two monitors (2560 x 1440 in my setup at the moment). I like these small computers - they do the job and they have no noise. And when travelling I can just put...

Depends - loss of power can result in corruption of OS requiring restore from backup. Also depends on trading interval - some may look at 1 minute chart while others look at 4 hour charts. Writing to SSD - windows continuously writes to storage and some trading software writes every tick to...

What is the cost if it acts up during a trade? Not worth the risk. Penny wise and pound foolish is the expression.

I do not believe in funny mentals, eh... fundamentals. The chart tells me everything I need to know and on what timeframe.

I would NEVER buy a refurbished. It could be that someone returned it after they could not solve a issue even though that the computer passed all tests. You are facing enough risks in the markets without having to cope with a flaky computer. (Dad once returned a laptop computer that was...

I remember dad buying a new laptop every 6 - 8 months and performance being about doubled every time. I don't know but he must have gone through 20 or 25 laptops. I am now using the base Mac mini 2011 and 2012 one running Windows 7 and the other Windows 8. The CPU load is around 7 - 8%, far...
