Your logic is it's never happened to you so it must be specific to their setup? With no prior issues, in the past few months, I'm getting charts going blank for a period of time, then repainting and resuming normally. In the past two weeks, the frequency has increased, but it is only a number...

p.s. Coding. Going from a pair of 1080 28" to the 55" 4K, my coding output went up by a factor of three. Design nearly doubled. I could have more info displayed, so jumping around opening/colapsing from window to window for info was hugely reduced, and I had enough realestate to display all or...

Careful with calculating DPI ratings using nominal sizes like 28" and 55", and in using published specs. With my monitor, when you size something to be 100 mm high on the 55", and it spans across both monitors, its height on the 28" looks the same, but measures 97.8 mm. And I can't see the...

Wouldn't that depend entirely on the resulting height of the monitor in portrait. A smaller monitor it wouldn't matter. The purpose of a curved monitor is to have the screen at or closer to square to your line of sight. If the monitor is large enough that you're having to look up at the top...

Six-up 3x2 28" 1920 x 1200 vs. 55" 4K. Screenshot of desktop: 28" 1920x1200 with 55" 4k, to compare realestate.

I had an array of six 28" 1920x1200 monitors. Two high, three across, landscape. Worked great. But I had to move my head to see the top section of the top row, and from side to side. Since I had the monitors, I tried three in a row in portrait. This also worked well. But just didn't have the...

Exactly! And it's claimed that is exactly why they're no longer the most effective, productive or innovative.

Mastery is both valuable and interesting when it occurs, but rare enough that it's not what drives the overwhelming majority of whatever takes place. The levels below mastery (true-expert, expert, accomplished) are what/who drive/create most of what is done. The 'generalist', bringing the...

I most certainly am. What do you bring to the table as a knowledge/skill set to work with in seeking performance greatness. jinxu was equating 'generalist' with 'low level work/knowledge', as in for knowledge/skill, wide=shallow, narrow=deep, which is a mistake. The 'expert' is more and more...

There's a big difference between: Jack of all/several vs. Jack only knows one thing at a low level, or thinking that Jack of All means Jack only knows at a low level. "Spreading your focus on everything" vs. shifting your focus to acquire a knowledge or skill that will add to your repertoire...

Blast from the past. A Stop All Trading Button was the very first thing I coded

I wouldn't say it is the only thing, but I agree very strongly that it is the most important thing for profitability.

$780K position. (Maybe $860K, it's been a while. The numbers 68 and 78 are carved.) Expecting news. Signed off around 2:00pm to go help friends by meeting their kids getting off the bus. When the news came, I was sitting under a tree drinking coffee. Had I not arrogantly been so sure of the...

IF the software you want to run will run on GNU/Linux, it will run faster than on Win 10. (music, monitor color calibration, etc., are all mind blowingly better with GNU/Linux, typically upon install; but this is not your concern for trading) GNU/Linux will have a learning curve. If you're...

No imagining about it. I once lost $78K overnight. Actually, price was down indicating a loss (~$72K?) when the market opened, then the price improved to a $68K loss, then the price turned down. I was totally mentally unprepared and didn't pull the plug until $78K down and realized that loss...

You spent how long, years?, getting to where you are in understanding. How long would it take them to actually understand it rather than simply 'parrot' what you do. Perhaps they considered trading $$$ without understanding it as unsafe. Perhaps you were clear enough that they realized that your...

Did you just describe 95% of Retail Traders' trading systems?

Correct. IMHO indicators predict nothing - on their own. (Some intriguingly look like they would have worked when they were developed, only to have been eclipsed by modern rapid/HFT machine trading with books with orders never intended to trade). Following is exactly what I do. A collection of...

Mine. Because people will tear them apart and I learn lots from that.

And where you're willing to effectively invite someone to be trying for the same liquidity as you: if you do hand it to them on a silver platter, you know from experience that they won't get it. They won't even get the parts, let alone how they go together or what they have to do to work it and...
