given you are using me as a supporting argument for your case, here is what I will say and will make clear ... I was never "moderated" when I posted over @ BMT... again, read why I got banned which I stated clearly ... I wasnt "nice" to a user... and am sure that those that sided with the...

nah, I dont really care if you believe me or not, is not that relevant to me... I've never been big on "proving to others" much of anything... but here you go... Membership Permanently Revoked Trading Experience: Intermediate Posts: 1,176 since Dec 2009 Thanks: 121 given, 987 received...

I dont get it... why is everyone so obsessed with shaving every penny off their tech budget?!... listen.. this is simple.. trading is a business... your edge is increased by your tech... for a good, and amazing computer to handle your trading you will spend at least $1K... anything...

yes, and no... as I mentioned, depends on what you are doing... because you are doing all the things you want in a single system, you would want to go with i7... but my suggestion is to split them... for the same cost... i3/i5 ($300-400) and i7 ($500-600) refurbished of course... the only...

I quoted the cards and SSD's separate for a reason... they can be placed on any PC... so simply put... the video card will be more than capable to handle your requirements...

long ago, I was a BMT Elite member, not only that... I was a "Market Wizard"... I was banned because some idiot started an argument with me over something he knew little about and the "community" was offended by one of my responses to the guy/gal, which wasnt offensive(I dont curse or anything...

wow, that was stupid... to risk your reputation and company over something so silly... at least the lightspeed reps were not duped it appears... that would have made it worse..

I hope you didn't get offended, wasnt my intention at all... to me titles are worthless... I have met lots of CIO/CEO of 5-10 employee companies... or even better, MD's of the same size co's... and I chuckle because they think title means something... heck, i am CEO/CIO of my own conglomerate...

I've never met a "CIO-SysAdmin" before... that must be a rather small manufacturing company for you to set the direction of the overall technology in use and have to manage as well... anyhow... systems and application integration, sure... you have a place with your current skill set...

ok, now that your utilization scenario is clear, I would suggest something different... separate your opts workstation from your trading workstation... spend funds on i7 for the opts and just get an i3 or i5 for the trading one... 8GB on each... and the opts does not need fancy video, just...

TransAct Futures is a division of York Business Associates, LLC... not a clearing FCM... regulated by NFA(a lot of good that does)... decent ratio when compared to the great velocity and crossland... you should check for complaints on the cftc/nfa site... CROSSLAND LLC CBOT 7,505,031...

furthermore, part of the "benefit" to Velocity is that they bundle their platform fees in... I say "benefit" because if you do any kind of volume it becomes a negative... as an example... regardles of what they tell you... if you pick the bundled CQGTrader client, you will pay transaction fees...

processing power is all relative to what one is doing... some of my custom indicators on CQGIC evaluate every incoming tick, others dont... doing calculations will consume CPU resources... use a "less powerful" CPU and you will pay a price in latency on those calcs... if we were talking about...

luckily for the rest of the world, intel is not the only mfr of mb's...

DDT is an IB for Crossland... so Crossland is your FCM and yes, IMO in a better stronger position than Velocity... I used to have velocity, I have an account with crossland directly... anyhow, the comment about comms being negotiable is correct... if you have volume, anything is negotiable... I...

it all comes down to what your requirements are... so that would be the future for some users, while not others...

hmmm.. too much money? but it all depends... personally here is what I would do.. 2 x NVIDIA NVS 310 Graphics Card or you can get the NVS510... that will allow you to drive 4 x 27" at native res... you can always go lower of course... I would then get one of the following...

another idea, or a way to diversify your portfolio (depending how you look at it), is to find an office-condo you can trade from as well... depending on location those can be cost effective... and have you looked at loopnet.com...

hmmm... have you done a CBA to what you are asking yet? you will still need reliable internet connectivity... going with advantage trading out of their office, and switching brokers, might not be a bad thing considering the cost you will have to overcome on a monthly basis before you even make...

256GB SSDs are cheap... this should be simple... if using a laptop... get a 128GB mPCI SSD and a "regular" 2.5" or 1.8" 256GB SSD... setup the mPCI as your OS/app.... and then basically configure your 256GB as your D: for D:\User where all the temp data and your data will go... if a...
