Great stuff Lance, always a pleasure hearing updates from you.

Thank you very much. I appreciate that. I think what this Virus crisis has taught us, is that if you can have a viable thing to do at home like trading, you can still keep afloat compared to a lot of people. I have simplified my system down to where I have taught my girlfriend to do it..and she's already getting a good win rate. She's only been at it a few months.

This short video is Trades taken today by my significant other, who I have been mentoring the last couple of months. This is in preparation for a Funded trader combine. Not mentioning which one yet, but just having her follow the rules to see if she can do it on first in practice.

Im sure you've answered this question before but what are you using to record your screen and is it a burden on your system?

Thanks

I use an old program called Screen movie Studio. I doesn't appear to use much CPU or memory when it's running.

If it's helpful: I have a good GPU (rtx 2070) and using OBS I can record 2 1080 screens or 1 4k @ 60fps. Using the GPU is key, and it gets to 50% or so usage, but the CPU doesn't take any hit at all. I tried external capture but this is absolutely the way to go. All integrated and absolutely zero effect on actual trading.

You could also try Flashback Express. The Express version is the free one, Pro is the paid for version that has editing. I use Express to record my screen for a couple of hours when trading.
I have recorded two screens before. I don't find it uses much resources but depends on your computer I guess, and as it's free it's easy to give it a try.

Here is another video of my "protege" Maggie's trades for today. As I mentioned in the last video, she is preparing for a Funded Trader combine so we are practicing using the rules that must be followed.

Here is probably my last video of Maggie, who I have been mentoring for a few months, showing today's SIM trades in preparation for a 100K funded trader combine. Very good session. Every bit as good as I could do.
