Quote from ofthomas:
I dont get it... why is everyone so obsessed with shaving every penny off their tech budget?!...
listen..
this is simple..
trading is a business... your edge is increased by your tech...
for a good, and amazing computer to handle your trading you will spend at least $1K... anything more than that is a waste because you dont really benefit as a retail trader...
find the best pair of systems you can get for under $2K and go with it...and make sure to include on that $2K budget a backup eSATA drive, acronis imaging software, and external SSD drive, SSD's for your internal drives on the PC, at least 8GB of RAM, at least 2-4 cores, the fastest CPU you can get, USB mouse and keyboard, and 2 monitors (24"+ native 1980)... with that, you are set for a long time...
again...
trading is a business...
tech is to give you an extra edge... treat it as such...
not as a hobby...
