    dell outlet win 7 question

    Windows 7 comes in 2 flavours: 1) OEM - you have to buy it with hardware (like a graphics card or a whole computer). The licence states OEM Windows 7 should be used only with the hardware it's been purchsed with. You get either 32- or 64-bit version, not both. 2) Retail - this one is more...

    Automating a no indicator strategy

    Hi logic_man, Let me clear your confusion regarding a few things: 1) Using indicators is a feature, not the only way to code a trading system. In fact, every backtesting platform I am aware of allows coding simple "price-time" systems without use of indicators. For, example, you can implement...

    Would you rent an apartment to a trader

    RCG Trader, you are offering an original take on this. So, the morale is mortgages, credit cards and home ownership are all ways to get people to buy into the society structure... What word should have been there instead of "piel"? I must have had too much sleep thsi week-end: can't guess.

    How Do These Guys Make Money?

    As a part of a prop firm a trader still gets lower commissions and likely more leverage than retail + a firm may offer a ton of other benefits: better support from broker or even directly from the exchange, tax-efficient re-investment of profits, free health insurance, a small salary for "bad"...

    Do not attack the robots

    Perhaps, the monetary benefit (in the case of winning a compensation) outweighs the reputational hazzard. An added beenfit (which is particularly difficult to quantify) from winning the case is it will create a precedent that will strongly discourage people from trading against algos...

    Would you rent an apartment to a trader

    The reasonable assumption is the combined income should be sufficient to pay the rent comfortably. So, adding a person with zero income to teh rental agreement shouldn't make financial standing conditions less favourable. If anything, it improves the position of the landlord as the second person...

    Would you rent an apartment to a trader

    My take is what you experienced is a general bias beyond the ability to pay the rent. Lots of landlords prefer to let to people having a "professional" job. It assumed that people in such jobs have a higher level of integrity and care better about preserving the condition of rental property...

    Do you consider money management an edge?

    When Mentoring

    Hi Lescor, it's interesting that you singled out "being a plumber or engineer or mechanic". These are all professions where a specific qualification is legally required to practice a profession and there is no way around it. In fact, such jobs are very few (you can add doctors, lawyers and a few...

    end of bios

    From the article: That's a gross exagerration. We all know that whether you use Windows, Linux or MacOS, BIOS takes only 2-3 seconds out of 20-30 or more of the boot time. Most of the boot time is taken by the operationg system itself and renaming BIOS is not gonna change that.

    When Mentoring

    One of the most difficult lessons to learn, I found, is when not to trade. When one can't think straight (just had an an argument with a dear one or has a hangover), the best trading decision one can take is to take a day off. This realisation has made the second most significant...
