i7-8750H @ 2.2 GHz. This one: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/134906/intel-core-i7-8750h-processor-9m-cache-up-to-4-10-ghz.html 48Gb of Ram. I had 32Gb, and had an extra 16Gb, so I threw it in. Even though, it is 3 simms, my understanding is that it will still Dual...

I reported some of the cases, but they are still there. Most of the ones I reported had to do with full screen- full window and docking windows. But the columns bug is pretty bad. It seems like once you get it, things fall apart further. I always restart. I notice the column bug is bad...

Also consider doing a "Layout Save As". IB currently has some bugs in the layout, WRT, full screen-full window, and docking. I reported them with steps, but it is clear there are several bugs there. I think it fall out from the recent builds and "frameless" layout codes. Not that big a deal...

For sure! Stocks have "behaviors". That one looks like a clear trait.

Low predictability, low frequency , marginal edge. AND not scalable enough. Not a bread and butter for me, and that is what I was searching for.

3:50. that makes sense.

I would say the most important thing is to actually make money. Sounds dumb, and maybe reckless. But it assumes you are not going to go destitute if you blow your account. You are here to make money in the long term. Sure you want to stay in the game, but don't be so gun shy you spin your...

As the others have pointed out, there is a sweet spot, that changes. Like any complex system, rigid stuff can be the round peg in the square hole. I would add that once you test for the sweet spot, test the edges also. Conditions change, and so should you.

At some point, at the low end of capitalization, the percent at risk method, is really not that useful. Consider the percent of commissions, or if commission free, the spread or slippage, to the P/L. Once those are double digits, it might be telling you there is not enough capital. A lot of...

Nice work on the tool, but as others have said, it is only part of the issue at hand. As one says, necessary but not sufficient for risk management. Expected outcome probability is the another part. You can add that into your tool and it would be very cool. Maybe even get a real time...

Hey guys, total curiosity here. For the last few months someone is moving say 3.5K to 7.5K contracts at 10 minutes before the close. Of course, I am out of there before then, but does anyone know who or who plural it is? Like I said just curious.

Good story. I was in a lighting storm and the pole was hit. I thought, oh NO, power surge. When the UPS went off, the alarm was not the most calming sound while I closed my positions. The second time it happen the UPS was about a year old, and it lasted about 40 seconds. I was expecting at...

Yep super quiet. About the same as the monitor. You can tell it is on, but that is about it. I agree the fan can be annoying. That is one of the reason I got the gamming machine, the sucker has lots of heat sinks on the GPU and CPU. I also use a passive cooling platform. It helps the...

Pump and Dump happens. It is a standard tactic. Your job is to not be on the wrong side. Know that it happens with certain stocks and other instruments. If it helps, I have been on the wrong side several times and the right side more times, so net I think I am probably ahead. I actually...

Also Whip, you can set limit orders, and change them to market orders if they don't fill.

To the OP, I agree with Norbert, start with stocks. Liquid stocks. Things over 6-10 dollars, and over AT LEAST 250K daily volume. And perhaps stay away from the really popular stocks. Many sharks swimming around. I have a friend to trades options mostly. He is good and sees a lot of...

I think peoples attitudes towards wealth and towards people has changed. Back when the internet was just getting going, the masses were discovering what the UUnet people already knew, you can connect with people all over. We used to, and I still do, hold by the rule never write anything you...

I think JP Morgan said something like that. "put all your eggs in one basket and WATCH that basket". I think though he was probably alluding to the fact that diversification was not a substitute for management, since he had a lot of investments.

yeah we were all sitting around the halls of MSFT thinking, should I sell some MSFT to buy some too? Nah, this is a charity deal to keep the DOJ off our back.

I agree. Usually manual backtest reveals a lot of issues. It is an essential first pass. It is also the fastest, as in one night of work can do a lot.
