    Trying to reduce number of Windows processes during trading hours

    While it does not specifically address your issue of being leaner at a particular hour, note that you can disable auto starting services by running "System Configuration"/msconfig.exe, and it's usually worth having a look there when trying to reduce bloat from your PC. Although be a bit careful...

    Is stock trading and forex trading different?

    Bonhoeffer's theory of stupidity, why authoritarians rise.

    Thanks. Didn't recall of Bonhoeffer. What he wrote certainly aligns with my observations in daily life, and especially in times like now. The craziest things (as defined as deficits in moral judgement) I hear and have heard are from people that spend their time following other people, and not...

    THESE deadbeat tech stocks are at - 70%, should I sell it or hold?

    Yepp. Whatever seemed like the best selection of stocks in Nov last year probably isn't the best selection going forward.

    THESE deadbeat tech stocks are at - 70%, should I sell it or hold?

    If you have a deep well founded conviction then buy more advice is valid... at some point. Just hold until the smoke clears, no need to rush in to burn more money. If you just bought due to some dipshit magazine/analyst "best stocks" recommendation (or even 13f ;)) then you might as well cut...

    The Clues You Missed: 5 Super-Obvious Signs We Were in a Financial Bubble

    True. Whilst the market regime of the past few years can obviously be described as 'utterly stupid', it wasn't obvious when the house of cards would collapse (anybody shorting or sitting it out based on the signs the article mentions would have lost money for years).

    FED may raise rate by .75%

    MMT is no way contradictive of current conditions, and and merely says that when inflation is rising government should spend less. I.e. the suboptimal policy situation that MMT proponents were identifying in the pre-COVID years, where the government needed to spend more, no longer exists; hence...

    ‘Liquidity is terrible’: poor trading conditions fuel Wall Street tumult

    Cancelled my FT subscription a few years ago so haven't read OP's link, but; Market depth is inversely proportional to volatility, there are a number of studies that show this. That in turn makes it harder to get in and out with size at short notice in volatile markets. Then of course we have...

    Hope Learn Well Here

    Yep. Also, this problem is only going to get worse as AI gets more sophisticated (and the bots here aren't even close to current top of the line). Long term you won't know if you're talking to people or bots in a forum like this. But once that's the case, is it a problem anymore? :D

    How much part does a GPU Play in Chart ?

    +1 Elaborating on this: You could do basic charting on hardware 30 years (or more) ago. When code is optimized, it's not very demanding to draw various rectangles and some bitmap (or even vector) fonts. If some program is slow at this it's usually for bad reasons (like programmers picking an...

    Admiral Markets Changing From SEB To Ecommbx LTD.. ?

    SEB is getting tougher on Russian/criminal money laundering after the issue being highlit here last couple of years after various leaks (Swedbank and Danske Bank being other offenders). A wild guess is then that might have prompted Admiral to switch in a rush.

    El Salvador to host 44 countries to discuss Bitcoin

    By switching to BTC they would have the same problems as countries that joined the Euro: They can then no longer stimulate their economies by devaluing (inflating) their currencies. Countries like Italy and Greece have been in a very bad place since joining the Eurozone, and only the ECB...

    Day Trader Army Loses All the Money It Made in Meme-Stock Era

    I knew I'd attract this sort of replies with a purely qualitative opinion, but regardless: it's a summary assessment of all message boards I visit. Take it FWIW. Obviously it's also conditional on what style of trading one is doing. An antithetical example: Someone who has gravitated towards...

    Day Trader Army Loses All the Money It Made in Meme-Stock Era

    Guess a fair portion of people losing their shirts now are people who "learned to trade since 2020". If you endured 2000 and 2008 then you know the routine.
