From Nvidia's website will drive up to four 4k monitors (4096 x 2160 @ 60Hz). Based on age of processor looks like boxes are 5-8 years old. I have two Dell boxes (consumer line) that are still kicking after 13 years (thank god kids use old crap) and run fine. Joel

Bought one and plan on upgrading the processor, storage, and memory. The machine will be used for backtesting and research. Thanks

Me to with Exxon, lost $10k or so and got out (would have lost a lot more if I held).

I had PLUG at $0.81 a few years back and sold it out from $15-16 within 100 days or so. Earlier this year bought FCEL instead now only have 50 shares left. No regrets, right?

And you (in this instance) are 100% clueless on how to read a hypothetical (fantasy) post in its context. I know from what you have written you need know education on basic options so I will not explain the maths of how a positive plus a positive equals a bigger positive. I was critiquing the...

Actually as a covered call seller this is the preferred out come, to lose ones shares. If every CC I sold was exercised I would have a 100% win rate and be rich. Do I ever regret the ones that got away (TSLA sold at $40 before the run to $80 and then infinity apparently) sure, but I also...

The call will be auto-exercised if held ITM until expiration. You will not keep the shares on a deep ITM sale. If there is no benefit (for example dividend) to early exercise why exercise early? You can run the calculations for early exercise yourself and see why it would or would not be done...

The spread makes sense (I do not agree, but due to early excercise risk I understand), but a long call or put at greater than cost? Now I am going to go look at the impact on my account, not that I will ever allocate more than 25% of my capital.

The way I think about it (probably wrong) is I lever down at market highes and increase leverage as the market declines. I also am not worried about leaving cash on the table.

Anecdotally... I have been trading in and out almost all night on IB without a problem...well if you call charts refreshing slow (off by 50pts on NQ) and prices bouncing erratically (I assumed it was the market, not tech) down then it was down for me. Otherwise able to trade just fine.

I am nicer online, as I tend to get violent in person (JK).

I can't but over stacking rooms, overflow facilities, and field tents in parking lots can...per local hospital administrators. Hence why our counties death rate is over double the national average.

Why? Actually I know and agree. I am in a rural county that has very little Covid impact and heading back to a county that at one point had 142% hospitalization rates and their numbers are climbing again. But, internet here (and hence trading) sucks. I have since gotten better at long trade...

Didn't vote for either of the old, pathetic, farts. Why not third party options to see how we really align?

I do this, but you do limit your available funds and run the risk of a liquidation event. For my account this limits me to only so many ES contracts versus god knows how many of I did not have the money in the stock/bond side. I found this out when I went to add contracts on a trade. Just be...

I believe the larger margin is due to the difficulty of getting out of spreads when they go against you. I personally have never had the problem (I leg into entries and exits), but some have. Also might be different if you have portfolio margin.

In all seriousness how much money do you have? I watched the Option Alpha demo, looks nice, but they use 5 or 15 minutes data and will (in the future) let you buy more frequently. They also only scan for execution at different time intervals (15 minutes I think). A lot can happen in those...

Actually, just checked lost what I made so net 0. If it swings on way or the other I get rewarded. Also good to use less correlated markets to trade against sometimes. When I answered though I was being cocky, my best trade in uncertainty is to not trade. Since I do not trade off 100DMA or 200...

I won't comment on individual stocks as I do not trade them any longer... I do use CEFs and ETFs as collateral on my trading portfolio and look for monthly div payers. I look at the support on the chart and try to buy low (as we all do). Of the trade goes in my favor immediately I will set the...

I am indifferent as I positioned myself for either direction.
