Do you collect any statistics on error actually found and/or corrected by ECC memory on your machines? This should be a good indication of whether ECC makes any difference.

What's your view on the importance of ECC support for a trading rig?

TradeLink and NinjaTrader are both based on C# but you can't cut and paste strategies between them either. I understand WelthLab is C# too (not C++). You should be able to use (simpler) WelathLab strategies in both with minor modifications as long as you know what you are doing. I strongly doubt...

In terms of fast learning Excel is unbeatable. You will only start encountering problems when you want to use relatively large amount of historical data, such as 1-minute bars for 10 years. 30-minute bars for 10 years is a breeze. Of course, with Excel it's fully up to the user to avoid...

The cheapest is free. Typical choice would be NinjaTrader (good GUI) and TradeLink (open source but the environment is aimed more at experienced computer programmers). If you want to go "cheap", I'd recommend AmiBroker - the fastest backtest I have seen. Also the buit in Amibroker Fromula...

You can buy real things via certain web-sites that work similar to ebay or craigslist. You can also buy US dollars with bitcoins. Not sure what "virtual" things you'd like to buy. Bitcoins are not like Linden Dollars in the sense that bitcoins are not "legal tender" in any virtual reality (as...

The important part is throttling is based on the total amount of computational resources involved in "mining". So, if a breathrough in quantum computing increases the power of a typical home PC by a factor of 1,000,000,000, this won't have any effect on the number of new bitcoins generated.

The only difference is when you are ready to bring external investors, you can fold you "incubator" into a full hedge fund structure. You will have continuous track record presenting your "incubator" and later full-fledged fund as a single entity. If you start with an LLC you will have to set...

A culture that dominates in many large (and some smaller) companies is the hiring managers don't trust themselves to make a decision based just on an interview. SO, they are searching for "signals" that the person is good enough If the applicant has a degree with honors from a leading unversity...

I believe these statements seriously misrepresent what bitcoin mining is about. There is a pre-dermened rate at which new bitcoins are added to the sysytem. This rate decreases over time till teh last "new" bitcoin is produced around 2040. The cryptographic process involved in creation of new...

Is there a way to "break Conscious mind down" without detrimental effects of alcohols such as loss of concentration and getting tired easier? I don't suppose you recommend trading while under effect of hypnosis...

from wikipedia: "Very little information exists about Satoshi.... Some have even suggested that Satoshi Nakamoto is not just a single person, but a group of people similar to the Anonymous group."

I undertand these apply a "reasonable person" principle. I.e. the transaction participant may not have known for sure the money or goods were preceeds of crime but a "reasonable person" in the circumstances would have suspected they were. Following this rule, a shopkeeper who sells a snack...

If anyone spent time to read the whole article, it was a "leak" too.

On the other hand, if you want to use one of USB graphic adapters, it's better to have Intel graphics.

On thing to look out for is 2 (sometimes even 3) external monitor connectors. If you get something like HP Envy (spec in PDF), you can run the internal monitor + 2 external monitors (via HDMI and DisplayPort) at the same time. There are lots of laptops with this feature around. I just linked a...

It all depends on the size. In order to buy or sell a financial security you need someone to take the other side. So, a small difference in timing means you are not buying or selling at the same time as everyone else. The consequence is the return achievable by someone trading in a small size...

Bitcoins are like a currency. So, any talk here is relevent to investing. Yes, it's very new; so, instead of the investment opportunity peopel are discussing pros and cons. I understand the anonymity of ownership of Bitcoins is deeply inside the design. So, the only way named accounts can be...

Here there are 2 issues: 1) Legally bitcoins is NOT currency. So, any payment in them is "benefit in kind" and till a case reaches at least a state court there is no leagal way to determine their worth... or if they are worth anything at all. In fact, my view is any lawyer will have very hard...

You can build what the links describe pretty easiy. The trouble is to create software to usitlise all of this power. From teh view point of most operating system thsi cluster will look exactly like 4 independednt computers connected with gigabit ethernet. From there it's up to you to amke sure...
