El-cheapo 9mm FMJ stuff is ~$.65/round. That means you to go the the range, shoot up 200 rounds in an hour and be out with a bill of $150 ($20 for range time). Shoot... my hookers cost less than that! (At least the good ones.) :)

I wasn't thinking about "hardware simplification", but rather trading approach and style.

I'm a KISS advocate. Read a story one time about some guy saying, "simplify your system as much as you think you can possibly can. When you're done doing that, simplify again!" I'm onboard with that. Trading usually requires some sort of simple rules and understanding so that we can actually...

Apparently you never heard of KISS. (Eventually, you'll come around to it. All the winners do.) :)

"More RAM is always better" is not a general rule. One needs to build his rig to accommodate his maximum use requirements.

What I suggest, you're not going to want to hear.... That is, stop doing tic charts. Do something longer. Archiving tic charts stresses the heck out of every aspect of your rig. Even 10-second charts would be a huge relief. Besides, tic charts are sooooo focused on the moment, it's easy to...

Not necessarily. No need to have more RAM than is actually used. Even more so with more expensive ECC. Best way... check task manager to see how much RAM is actually used and buy accordingly. My trading rig has only 8GB RAM and usually runs ~40% usage. Therefore, 16GB would be a waste...

The i9 has more cores so it rates a higher passmark score. However, the "single thread" performance of the two is nearly the same. So the question becomes, "does the software use more cores if available"? Lots of multi-thread software use 2 cores intensively and ignore others available, so...

No way to know prior to doing a test and comparo.

The take on Xeons is (1) they have more features than non-Xeons... features that may not apply to you, and (2) they were built with the expectation that they might be left on 24/7. Hence the greater cost. Even saw a claim once, "Leaving your Xeon on 24/7 for 5 years will not invalidate the...

That's only part of it. The notion of the "P/L being the same" depends upon the question asked. The OP who stated "Naked puts are the same as covered calls" is correct under 2 scenarios. We'll use a "portfolio" of $100K to illustrate... writing covered calls on the entire portfolio equal to...

Are you DENSE? With that leverage it takes only 1/3 of 1% noise move against your position to wipe you out.

On a contract obligation of $180,000... you'd either have to be a fool or a noob with "stars in your eyes" to think you might "make it" with only $500 margin per. At that, you're playing with <1/3 of 1% cushion. Powell could cut a fart and wipe you out before you could blink!

Ever try Viagra??

I give up. You've outed yourself as a fool. ON IGNORE!!

You bozo. Rich people, black or white "don't take the bus". When I was a poor college student, I "took the bus". My neighbor, Von Miller, pro player for the Denver Broncos making $40 Million/year... he don't "take the bus":. Apparently you are "grinding an axe". You need more backup and...

Lots of people bitch and crusade... 'cause they want attention. You don't know that?? In America we don't concern ourselves with "Spanish soccer players bitching... about anything". We don't watch soccer, you know. (90 minutes of up-and-down the field with a score of 0-0 or 1-0... BORING...

Maybe blacks wouldn't be getting that kind of treatment if they weren't criminal, violent, thugs. Ever consider that? Of course all blacks aren't getting that treatment... just some of the CRIMINAL, VIOLENT, THUG ones!! DUH!

They're already rich and in the limelight. Perhaps they really don't have anything to be bitching about?? I don't want to argue this, but I think blacks have already been given WAAAAYYYYY more than they should have.

"...The mantra "get woke, go broke" is one both the NBA and the NFL are becoming intimately familiar with..." Glad to see it. I for one have grown tired watching rich black guys play sports... then throw their "woe is me and my kind... and we all need to get paid in reparation for what your...
