Yeah, definitely. Wasn't trying to hijack thread. Just thought I'd add an option from different realm, for those "looking for a trading computer?" So many options nowadays...

For Mac users searching for a holiday deal, this MBP is 2 cycles back (mid' 18), but nearly spec'd out with a solid markdown. 2.9 GHz Intel Core i9 Six-Core 32GB RAM 2TB SSD AMD Radeon Pro 560X GPU (4GB GDDR5)...

Different things work in trending periods vs consolidating or choppy periods. The methods I like to use, stop working when there's no clear direction on any of the instruments / time frames I trade. When the market is consolidating in a narrow range, what I want to do, simply stops working. It...

It's an arduous task. I think "only the few" have the resources (i.e. energy, focus, significant time, adequate capital, etc.) and determination to acquire the necessary skills and character traits. Yes, that's my comment in a day trading thread. But to be more clear... what I meant was...

Trading is not a demanding activity. If one can't trade (assuming they want to), it's doubtful they will have capacity to do something else. ... "I'm too old to trade, but I can...[]?

Props to the 3 ET. Nice. I struck out swinging hard for the fences. Landed somewhere in the 700s. Overnight, agree it seemed an odd week to hold a contest. Impending Trade deadlines, impeachment vote, rollover, fed day, etc. but I thought intraday movement was good in the indices.

According to the graph, this system produced approx $70K per contract (NQ), over 82 days. So averaging about $850/day or 170 ticks... That extra zero is a mistake, right? and system produced $7K per contract over 82 days... avg $85/day or 17 ticks?

Doin' my elite trader thing :cool:

I started following the sport last year, after Devon Larratt had several appearances on the Jujimufu YouTube. Dude seems super cool and down to earth. More than just an arm wrestler too haha

Yeah, very cool! I saw the visual on twitter. You guys did a great job :strong:. Hope more people find the article.

I wonder what 1.5TB of memory would be like. Obviously its miles beyond what I need. Probably never close any programs again. Cool. Seems no matter what configuration I use, ToS trips the fans...

Win some lose some... to me its still more impressive than a sim contest where many or most participants are prob just swinging wildly for the fences.

hot like the centre of quasar... boom

Cool visual.

Not sure for Mac, but If using windows... I remember early on in my office career, as a practical joke, we'd flip people's screens upside down if they left their desk without locking their computer, as most people didn't know the shortcuts, and would have to phone the IT dept for help.

Yes. 2017 sucked Yep, Tuesday was 17.5, but outside of opening hour it was pretty much consolidation from 1030-1530. I posted "great day to do something esle" during that period as it was 75 degrees and sunny outside at my current location

True that, every day some instrument is doing better than others. I used to scan various instruments prior to a session and pick the few that looked most promising for the day, but overtime switched to just specializing in a couple and learning to trade them in various conditions. Either way...

For the comp, I've done interday swings with the max amount of contracts the sim allowed (10 NQ + 4 ES), with a short bias as I figured there's always a chance we fall off a cliff and my play is akin to a Hail Mary. I logged in 4 times outside of RTH to adjust positions, and seen my ranking at...

Welcome to ET. I think most equity index day traders would agree Nov-Dec was worse than Aug-Sep. August 1-Sept 4, RTH range/volatility was about the best it's been all year for intraday. Range tightened up a bit in early September, but then a nice expansion came back later in the month which...
