Day Trading for a Living

Had a play briefly with a Nexus 7 ( 7 inch quad core tablet ) it's pretty good, screen is big enough but small enough to carry around easily good for £200 compared to most of the crud out there, faster and smoother than my Note but mainly the 4.1 system on it.

No 3G though, you'd need Wifi / Mifi.

I wouldn't mind getting a one of those USB GFX cards, one that can handle 1920x1080, I'm guessing they have serial ports on the usb sticks to connect monitors to?

Yeah standard monitor connectors, the new 1's likely have HDMI what ever it is to.

Refresh rate will be USB speed to the adapter so won't be able to play games FPS on those screens but be fine for charts.

Much easier way of adding more screens, I'll have a mooch for 1 for you.

Excellent. Would I need one per screen? suppose its cheaper than having to to get new graphics cards, that would mean upgrading the PSU along with the motherboard aswell, then the cost of the monitors, this does seem like the cheap and better option. This one looks good...

I think the 1 I linked did 6 or something, guess from the HDMI connector there is a 6 connectors of it or something.

No need to take PC apart, you can only fit 2 internally anyway, really expensive cards maybe do 4.

I've got 2 internally, via a gamers card been running 2 for atleast 10years I think.

What about this? or something similar but newer, I believe only the 'eyefinity 6' cards can run 6 monitors from the single card.

Looks good and you can play games over all 6 screens like that, hmmm.

I've got a ATI HD4870 it's plays all the games so a 5870 I'd guess is the newer faster version.

From what I've found online, the newest one out right now is the Radeon HD 7870 with 6 x mini display ports

You'll need a SLi motherboard with 2 PCi-E slots or what ever there called and likely a 900watt+ good quality power supply to.

Giving her up as to F'd up to ever have a relationship ever, is likely my best bet.

Planning to start trying more this week, we shall see how it goes I guess, expect badly.

Can't decide between GU and EU still, got both and I'll pick which 1 looks best then stick to it I guess.

Hoping just 2, will improve focus and get better results we shall see.

Kick some butt sir!!

It's interesting how I'm going for less and your going for more.

Waiting for a trade to come on the 2 I'm watching, rather than flicking through 8 then totally forgetting which 1's looked good.

Most of my trades on friday were placing buy or sell orders, with tight stops and profit target would be the very next supply or demand level, in and out fast with trades over in sometimes under a minute or at the very most a few, the 1m is fast, but tradeable.

So rather than watching and trying to go, it's slowing down / turning up you just set and forget orders and see what happens.

Likely beats my watching and guessing I guess I mean trying to read the markets LOL


Lets see how day #2 goes hey!!

Yeah but sometimes I'll wait for a bullish candle right on a demand level before getting in. If its bouncing within a small range it'll generally move between certain precise areas before continuing or changing direction, at these areas are where I'll have orders.

Ignore that chart I just posted, should of had the tp right where it bounced back up....
