    is ECC memory necessary for quantitative trading?

    Is the processing power required for handling the data or is the algorithm so complex that it needs the power for computing the result from the data?

    is ECC memory necessary for quantitative trading?

    Did you really just say 1min bars? I was under the impression that you're into stuff that needs some real time deconstruction of a multitude of orderbooks 50 levels deep. But when you're working with such high granularity price data, I wonder what takes so much computing power that you need...

    is ECC memory necessary for quantitative trading?

    60-120$ a month. Don't you think it makes more sense to host your algo (almost) colocated than building a high end PC and connecting it via crappy ISP lines? It's like buying a Porsche GT3 to do your grocery runs.

    is ECC memory necessary for quantitative trading?

    Nope, you're doing it wrong. Don't build a computer for quantitative trading, that's inefficient and slow. Rent a VPS that is located close to the exchange you trade on, upload your algo to it and control it from some crappy old laptop with an internet connection. Uptime is better, tech...

    [SEEKING INPUT] - Stock Setups with an Edge

    Nah, it's a start, no need to throw everything away If stocks are your thing, get both books by Mike Bellafiore (the playbook and one good trade) and try to get your trading journal going. You will generate your ideas from trading and journaling, not from data mining and research. It's the...

    [SEEKING INPUT] - Stock Setups with an Edge

    @Tall Mike , look I don't wanna rain on your parade but I think you're being way to one dimensional here. Lot of beginners fall victim to "price action" trading and don't make any progress because it's just too simplistic. Trading is not about memorizing some price pattern and trying to find...

    Double checking on the Iron Condor numbers I see....

    it's a short IC, so basically a bull call spread and a bear put spread. it's long vol and long time...so more or less a cheaper version of a straddle. if it's a good trade is for you to decide. break evens are 50$ away each side. however, it seems that you calculated these with ToS over the...

    Differences in Retail vs Prop trading

    Let's put it this way: They are 100% making markets in spot OTC for two big aggregators that I know in person. You can believe that or not. On the other hand, I don't know why it's so difficult to just type "DRW" and "crypto" into google, look up their website and tada: https://cumberland.io/...

    Differences in Retail vs Prop trading

    Nah, that's BS. There are prop firms blowing up left and right. No, because they said they have crypto books plus they're making markets for most aggregators and OTC venues

    Differences in Retail vs Prop trading

    All I can say here that prop firms have a team approach. There is the analyst, the trader, the IT guy, backoffice and risk management. Retail thinks that all it takes to become profitable is to join a prop firm because they have some sort of secret or special strategy. In reality they only...

    Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System

    You can use BTC without internet. Blockstream broadcasts the blockchain via satellite network, so even when the entire world goes offline you can still access your money as long as you have a satellite uplink. You're not the only one who is thinking in "what if's" and there are people out...

    PayPal, Venmo to Roll Out Crypto Buying and Selling: Sources

    Forget it, these guys just don't have no clue and heckle just for the sake of it. BTC has moved away from a potential payment system to a storage system and now it's more or less an ingredient for a synthetic Eurodollar. That means by using BTC plus derivatives you can get exposure to USD...

    PayPal, Venmo to Roll Out Crypto Buying and Selling: Sources

    We meet here in 5 years and when you're right I send you 1 BTC. When I'm right, I get one BTC from you. What's your definition of irrelevant, tho?

    PayPal, Venmo to Roll Out Crypto Buying and Selling: Sources

    They got overtaken by Square, so I guess it's more or less a FOMO move. They don't give a flying fuck about crypto since these payment networks are basically designed to replace PayPal. They have to adopt, though, otherwise shareholders will start finger pointing when they're left in the dust.
