    Feedback on Futures/FX trading build with 4K 40" monitor (i5 6600K, 32gb RAM, 256gb M.2 SSD)

    So I've put together a 6-core build using the 5820K processor, after confirming that Ninjatrader 8 is multicore - multithread in live charts as well as backtesting / optimization. Remaining components are very similar. I've changed the case (looks nicer & quieter?) and was considering beefing...

    Thanks for your comments DOM. I've priced up a 6-core 5820K processor with similar components, maybe you can give me your comments. Ninjatrader 8 is multicore-multithread on the live charts as well, in addition to the backtesting / optimization therefore a 6-core computer will probably be...

    3x 32" pivoted ... hmmm :) I agree it would be overkill. But so much screen real-estate!! Must resist.... Actually, I am already running Dell's 3415w and it's a great monitor. Combined with the Philips will be more than sufficient I think.

    I'll check out for those frequency-biased screws on pcpartpicker then. Do they come in red? :) Ninjatrader 8 is a no-go for me at the moment, as I had conflicts between IQFeed and TWS /IB (data would stop refreshing). Didnt want to take any chances so I went back to NT7. I am sure they'll sort...

    The details of the build are straight out of my list on the parts builder website. I guess I should have taken the thermal paste out. http://pcpartpicker.com Not sure if Ninjatrader 8 (still in beta) supports hyperthreading? The v.7 which I currently use probably does not. The i7 is a faster...

    Wallace, As far as I know, all brokers registered in Cyprus (Cyprus Investment Firms in local lingo) are required to participate in the Investors Compensation Fund setup by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CYSEC). This includes all FX brokers registered as Cyprus Investment...

    Pete, Do you know if there's anything similar but not limited to IB? I would like to use it for Forex and other markets if possible. Basically a program where you input something, and it time-stamps it for later study. Thanks again, Loukas

    Lindq, you are right. I was only just trying to add some helpful info to the conversation. I edited the original post, leaving only what's necessary. Not because I'm worried for a lawsuit, but rather out of respect for a writer and trader (LBR) I greatly admire. Loukas
