That's exactly why I don't allow Windows Update to access my rig by default or automatically!

I doubt it. You might try selecting a different resolution to see if it makes a difference... like 1920x1080

Sorry, I was thinking you were needing to choose between installing W10 or W11. You already have W11 installed... so you can just do an update/upgrade. Windows Update will likely ask you if you want to do that and you just click yes. (Might be automatic update also... MSFT presumes you intend...

You will need MSFT's "Media Creation Tool". You can look that up. All you'll need to get started is a flash drive of at least 16GB (the media creation tool will erase everything on the drive and reformat before installing files for the fresh OS install). It doesn't take very long. I don't...

On my screen, the chart on this has disappeared (??). Suggest looking lower in the thread for the graphic.

IMV, it's that $5T Covid stimmy + another $4T Dem deficit spending.. $9T of EXCESS money sloshing around in the system. It keeps changing hands for new buyers to buy again and again. Fed never drained excess reserves, so we're likely locked into high inflation until Fed does something about...

What can be the culprit? Virtually anything. I once had an issue where I started out with a RAM test... passed as "OK". I eventually swapped out everything except the MOBO and still couldn't get it. Turned out to the RAM... even though a RAM test had tested OK. Waaay aggravating.

Can't say the market didn't give y'all a shot at it.

As to the notion of a "false upside breakout", we all just have to cope with it. Suggest playing the breakout level to be a pivot... so that however it plays out, you can't get hurt much. As for rate cuts... IMV, rates were never high enough. Neither was excess money in the system from covid...

If SP breaks above, holds, and follows through, it's a buy/long indication. If this level fails, it's a sell/short indication. (Not a specific "price to the tic", but rather a small zone... you'll likely need to use some judgement on this play.... but up to this second, this high has backed...

Slippage is still a concern. I define slippage as the price differential between the time when I "decide to make a play" and when it gets executed... even with today's market in the SPY or other, you still have to "construct" an order on your computer and then submit it to the market. How much...

IMV, one should not be trying to scalp the ES/SPY... too noisy for small potential gains. Suggest playing for "swing" type moves.

Electronic markets evolved to replace "open pit outcry markets" like in the old days. The primary benefit was reducing the overall transaction cost of trading.. primarily slippage.

Could be just the failure of your keyboard. Do you have a spare you can test? If not, you should have one... even a cheap one for backup.
