Professionally Built Trading PCs

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Here at TL we are always trying to find new ways to offer TL users value. Most of this comes from our website but there are always ways we can benefit from being part of a community. At this stage, this is just an idea. Before it could be a viable opportunity for us, I need to know the sort of numbers of people who may be interested in it. The idea is for bulk buying of professionally built trading PCs to get a level of discount for everyone. I believe it would be for a certain hardware setup, but we may be able to talk about several system types. As soon as I get some numbers and details, I will post them here.

 

If you are interested, please let me know by private messaging me. Don't worry though, by doing so it doesn't mean you are committing to buy one!!!

 

Thanks,

 

TheNegotiator.

Okay, so when you PM me, could you please answer the following questions:-

 

1) How many monitors would you like the PC to run?

 

2) Would you also be interested in monitors with the PC purchase?

 

3) What country are you located in?

 

4) Not including monitors, what is your ballpark price point for a high performance trading PC with the ability to run the number of monitors you answered in question 1?

 

5) If the price point was offered, would you be willing to commit to a down payment as part of the group buy to be used only if enough people commit?

 

6) Any other additional comments/suggestions?

 

Thanks,

 

TheNegotiator.

they overclock to 5 GHZ!

 

It depends on your needs. If you are a intense gamer then maybe a super overclocked water cooled rig is for you. However, a well thought out well built and well maintained high end system should be top of the list for a trader imho!! Remember that overclocking also will shorten the life of your components. The systems could be top end or a little bit lower to suit all needs, but I am not sure yet so don't quote me on this!

That's right, in trading, you want something stable...

Most trader do not require a rocket fast computer,

just any quadcore is plenty fast enough for most requirements, but it has to be stable.

Therefore OC is most likely not a good idea.

 

Backtesters might want something different,

but that's another story.

In my experience, for wkstations dedicated to trading only, it is better to get to know a few local hardware aficionados and work with one of them to design and build your trading computers. Using the specs and list of components and parts you have worked out with the tech, order the stuff yourself and take it to the tech for assembly and an OS install and setup . For the OS setup, emphasize having him minimize all the ‘services’ that would normally run by default.

 

For the hardware, focus on selecting high quality components that are known to work well together – esp video. As Tams indicated, overclocking sb last resort. For ‘performance’, select widest bus architecture on the MB, loads of high quality fast RAM, and fast drives – build it for a 300,000 mile haul not a 500 mile race… Also, I try to not to be a tester for the very latest in processors. High end of one generation back has always worked well for me…

 

If something does break and also in the beginning when you might need things re-configured, etc. more than once, you’ll be up and running again much faster working with a local guy than you will be shipping stuff back and forth or trying to do it over the phone with a far away custom trading system builder.

Okay. Thanks zdo and I appreciate your input. However, what I am suggesting is something that will suit certain traders very well and hopefully give them some kind of saving too. By no means is anyone obliged to take this potential opportunity and I would strongly suggest to an individual that they do their homework thoroughly before committing to any trading pc- be it an off-the-shelf, bespoke or professionally built and maintained computer.

    • Agreed since some of the new traders usually lose money in start and some loses more while chasing their lost money and eventually ends up blaming to their brokers part.
    • The crypto market are also in phase of maturing like the forex and other trading assets so we can do much more accurate analysis than before since early days it was purely a luck if the investments in crypto bears results because most of the coins or tokens never come to fruition. Some early birds were also able to make profits on these tokens or coins. e,g., like turtle coin starts with 1 satoshi and go up to 7 sathoshis, quite good rewards. another token lmgx now hovering at 10 started from 1, 
    • How's about other crypto exchanges? Are all they banned in your country or only Binance?
    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
