    Sierra Chart Users? If you don't use Teton, how do you feel about 38% price rise?

    That was sarcasm... basically what Sierra had posted, rephrased a bit.

    They learned that trick from the government.

    Why Gas Got So Expensive?

    Gasoline is high because Biden and his administration WANT IT THAT WAY... they WANT the price of gasoline to HURT most Americans... all part of the "destruction of our country and the GREAT RESET". The Dems would have LOVED it if these prices were under Trump admin. Unfortunately, gasoline...

    Vaccine Talk "Under The Radar"

    I didn't save the links... but two quotes haunt me. 1. Bill Gates saying, "Take a vaccine... ANY vaccine". (He previously described the 2020s as "the decade of vaccines".) Really? 2. The WHO saying, "We have to come up with more reasons for people to take "A" vaccine" Question.. Why are...

    Trading a Bear Market Crash: newbs are fkd, Why don't talking heads help?

    1. ANY market can be traded. 2. To trade the market well, most of your plays need to be on the same side as the market's current bias... and you must use stops if you care about surviving. 3. Thanks to the Fed's constant "juicing", the majority of today's market players do not understand...

    Trading a Bear Market Crash: newbs are fkd, Why don't talking heads help?

    If you're ever a bear and wrong, you'll likely lose your job. But if you're a bull and wrong, that's OK.... almost everybody else is wrong too.

    Thoughts/feedback on parts/cost of new custom build workstation

    You might have to search that on the net... but I recall reading something about having a W7 COA is good enough to activate W10. Not 100% on that. (I bought my 5810s from a refurbisher who included an authorized version of W10 from their royalty license(?).) From time to time you can still...

    Thoughts/feedback on parts/cost of new custom build workstation

    Maybe. But for the most part Dell has done away with installing W10 this way. They now want you to download it. (When W10 first came out you could use the media disk or download. But at some time back, they changed for newer machines so that you can only get W10 via download.) You could...

    Are ETFs / Indexx Funds dangerous?

    You're waaaay more concerned than you should be. If you're willing to risk "limited diversification" then perhaps you would be better off owning a portfolio of individual securities.

    Battle of the 49's Dell U4919DW vs. Samsung CRG9?

    The Quadro P620 says it will do "4x, 5120x2880@ 60Hz" on W7... so I presume it will do 1440 also. You can start checking it out with this link.. I doubt you'll find one @120Hz, as that's more of a gamer card... but 60Hz is plenty good for trading...

    Are ETFs / Indexx Funds dangerous?

    ETFs and indices are "diversified" plays on the markets. As such, they are less risky than individual issues. They have a "theme/sector" or "charter" by which they invest. So even when they're swapping positions around, they're still in the same arena of their charter. Leveraged ETFs carry...

    BlockFi Credit Card Offers 3.5% in Bitcoin Back for Purchases

    I checked into it once but their plan wasn't as good as I was able to negotiate with a dealer. However, if you just want to "save a grand" on an easy, no hassle car purchase.... Costco would be OK. One of the things I used to do was lease cars. So, you know about MSRP and "invoice" (price...

    Price Pays….but….

    Because it's possible the market is in the early stages of a bear... could be especially bad one. This is the "form" of the 2000-2002 Nasdaq bear market. Same form as the 1930s depression bear market. Could be a lonnnnnng way to go on the downside.. both in price and time.

    This is the reason why the stock futures are going up?

    Seems the market believes it sees the "light at the end of the tunnel" in the Ukraine business. Next up is Fed interest rates, inflation, stagflation, high fuel costs and food issues... but perhaps that's for next week.

    Execution speed Limit order vs. market order

    That's PRECISELY why you should "give them a little room". I know of this. I once missed a $600K profit by $.10 fill in the Big SP contract. In reality, the "fill" on a good trade is not important.

    Execution speed Limit order vs. market order

    You don't know that. You're presuming the "next tic" will be in your favor. There is so much noise and a bit of "slop", in trade execution there is no way to know. You should be focused upon "points" or "swings", not "execution tics". Getting the "big picture" correct on the trade is what's...
