Used to run two surface pros with 2x34" curved widescreens each (4 in total), the only issue was when you get down to tick charts, don't switch off indicator on tick updates, and have too many charts with 15-20 indicators. Then you need something powerful. You can try an HDMI switch or a USB3...

Because there are billions of combinations of signals, very few high probability, and some whales manage to move the trend using their strategy. You put yourself in the right place, keep a level head, and click the button when it's your turn. You miss it you have to wait, but most don't, so they...

Of course, the dailies are setting up for a move! And no, news moves x not y, why no-one gets this is beyond stupid!

Of course, Tulip Mania, the central banks are trying to buy time expecting that the economy will rebound, however, there's a problem. What happens if the economies don't rebound in time and the only thing propping them up was the easy money. It's just history repeating itself, the only question...

Seriously, who comes up with this stuff, 80% of the the forex market is controlled by 10banks. If you don't know how they work, or have no idea how to follow them you will lose money. Then you have the data issues and brokers with trading desks trading against you 'slipping' the data. Forex is...

Being really smart or really stupid.

Yes, but the the system costs $40000 and have to sign an NDA anyway so no. With 1-2trades per day you are looking at 1min timeframes if you concentrate on high probability trades. The problem with the pairs is that they are 80% correlated these days, so a 5min pair produce 1-2 high probability...

Were given the stats on the financial compensation scheme, basically it only has assets to cover one major, and two smaller, bank runs. But as the banking system is intertwined it will be a domino effect, that is what they mean. If Greece goes it will damage the German banking system likely...

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/almost-no-one-can-beat-the-market-2013-10-25 "Fewer than 1% of mutual fund managers persistently beat the market based on superior market-timing or stock-picking skills." "found that only about 1% of active traders outperformed the market. The more frequently...

It's called the Market Wizards series of books.

Look at Olympic rowers, they spend years training for a few minutes. It's in those few minutes and especially the last 250m that separate the champions from the rest. That's trading, you train for the few minutes or even seconds for trade entry and trade exit, it's the bell curve. The stress is...

Seriously, what is wrong with everyone and these questions. They closed down all these things a long time ago. You 1) go and live in that other country; 2) you have a base in x and move backwards and forwards on 'working-holidays'; 3) you pay it and enjoy life wherever you call home. Anything...

It used to be 95% failed at trading, now it's 99% and soon it will be 99.9%, they can't handle the volatility as everything is moving to fat-tail events, lots of flat and then rapid spikes. The people who make the money are those selling the services, seminars, books, and managing funds. It's...

Am absolutely convinced people who say backtesting have never actually built a strategy and run it live. Signals change interbar, meaning with backtesting you only see the close, if it's a 60m bar you do not see the signals during that period. You can also bet that your strategies profitability...

There's a problem with the 3200MHz memory, most MBs cannot handle above 16GB in 4x4 configuration, the system crashes constantly. Have an overclocked 5820K to 4.4GHz, it runs at 17,000 passmark which is the same as a 5960X, it's fast but had to use 2666MHz at 32GB. The M.2 SSD is fantastic for...

Which banks aren't, there was some analysis a little while back the FSC (Financial Compensation Scheme) can only sustain a partial run, if two banks go at the same time depositors are out of luck. Fractional banking works in low volatility, it doesn't work going forward. To make profits in high...

This was known by us some time ago via via, most Twitter users are fake and heard estimates of 80%+ that are used to generate traffic and increase profiles. You can't monetise bots and offshore follow creators, so Twitter's now priced correctly, probably go down to $7-10 so it's oversold but...

Trading news, the release doesn't affect y, it affects x. Then it comes down to reliability of the news and even the best get it wrong but at least you have more confidence in the quality and, in theory, less whipsaws. As if the outcome isn't already factored in when the news comes out, funny!

Depends what you mean by mentor, using a system that a hedge fund designed and they pushed it out via channels, up +19% this month on single trade via 240m, documented here. It is very difficult to find a consistent strategy, especially one that is transferable. Trading is about psychology...

Personally Amazon AWS but also Softlayer, the multi-nationals use these and are running a 24x7 for Tradestation & eSignal. Was setup by some specialists and pings sms (60m+) or iphone twitter messages (<5m) when signals are hit. It looks like it's the foothold in to automated trading for small...
