Good question. No tweets from him since 1/26. Very unlike him not to be commenting actively during this squeeze of the most crowded short positions. https://twitter.com/jimcramer

Right. I'm controlling a large notional with a small amount of capital. Are initial and maintenance margin for MES and MNQ the same in an IRA as they are in a regular/taxable account?

Margin? That means leverage in an IRA? I thought that wasn't possible.

I noticed that my broker allows futures in retirement accounts. Other than the tax benefits in an IRA or Roth, is there any benefit to trading in a retirement account vs a taxable account? There's no leverage when trading futures in an IRA, correct? Or from the perspective of trading in a...

I'm not sure how the pixel math works with monitors of different resolutions. And I'm not sure what the max the RX480 is capable of since the specs for graphics cards tends to focus on properties relevant to gaming/CAD/video editing/etc., not the relatively low performance (2D rendering) across...

If I get another RX 480, I suppose I'd have to upgrade the PSU from the stock 460W unit? I do have a Corsair CX550M (550W) laying around that I think has the same dimensions. Maybe that would be enough for two RX 480's if I'm not doing any gaming, CAD, video editing? Multi-monitors is only for...

System specs: Dell XPS 8900 Core i7-6700 @ 4GHz 32gb DDR4 RAM Intel HD Graphics 530 (integrated) AMD Radeon RX 480 8gb 256gb SSD 2TB HDD I have no monitors connected to the integrated graphics ports. I have the following 5 monitors (all at native resolutions) connected to the RX 480: DP port 1...

Would the delay be only on the monitor connected to the USB graphics card? If so, then that monitor could be used for a browser window or other non-trading app or charts not related to scalp trades.

If income is from pension and social security, is that typically sufficient?

I help manage my parents' investments. We tried to get margin approval at TD Ameritrade, and were instantly rejected via the automated system. I don't think it's an income or liquid assets issue. Perhaps because they listed 'Retired' under Employment? We wanted to get margin not because we...

Instead of the basic collar or synthetic stock position using options, how about using verticals? Caps risk and uses less margin. Plus, when we use options, we typically aren't playing for a moon shot or a bankruptcy, so why pay for an option that provides a huge payoff we aren't expecting...

I think that resolution is too low for 27". I'd go for 24" at 1920x1080, or 2560x1440 at 27".

One computer? How many graphics cards? I've got 6, all connected to one graphics card. I think I'm maxed out.

SPX couldn't even fill a gap from last week during this morning's micro plunge. So no, correction has not begun.

If we're talking cute, let's talk Jackie DeAngelis, who I think is now at Fox Business.

She was visibly pregnant. I'm guessing maternity leave and she'll be back. She is one of the sharpest anchors on that network. Certainly quite a lot sharper than that dullard Brian Sullivan.

UltraView looks a lot like DisplayFusion. The monitor profile editor looks identical. I wonder who copied who.

Following up on this, at the suggestion of TOS tech support, I run multiple instances of TOS and split the charts across those. I've got 3 TOS instances running, with charts split among them, and TOS is now much more responsive. Hardware utilization is still low, so it was never a hardware...

Forgot to add that I am streaming inside TOS - both CNBC and a screenshow (just a screencast of someone's TOS screen, so CNBC is the going to be the much heavier load), so I'm guessing if I were willing to drop these, I could add additional charts in their place without inducing lag.

Found this site: https://www.pxcalc.com/ It calculates DPI for a given screen size and resolution. For a 24" 1920x1200 screen, DPI is 94.34. A 27" screen at 4k res is 163.18 DPI. So everything is 58%, or nearly half, the size I'm used to. No wonder I needed 150% scaling to make it useable. 32"...
