My camera is doo-doo but what can you do, dude? Room is actually a mess; on the other side of this room is pretty great gym setup too. This room is upstairs above the garage.

Wow! CPU speed of 39,255!!!

That will get the job done!

I recently went from a speed of 2469 (Dell Optiplex) up to 18,327 (Ryzen 5 3600X New build). Finally the new pc could handle the NQ data without freezing up!

Xidax looks like a decent company.

what does it mean by 39255?

I'm not a computer guy but I personally built this PC myself. Don't ask me how I just followed instructions on YouTube lol.

Hey! I'm curious why do you divide the ES over MES

The highlights for me are the standing desk and the keychron k1 keyboard.

And of course the cat, who does all the trading I have to confess.

So that I can place MES trades on ES charts. I prefer to use ES order flow and technicals but when I take a position it's actually an MES contract.

Ohh that's how Sierra shows it when you set a different trading symbol.

I noticed this too! The orderflow of the MES is kind of "fake", the ES is much more clear.

Hello Geld (Mr. Money), sorry it took a while to respond to your question.

Just in case you are not familiar with the CPU speed of 39,255, that refers to the speed of the Central Processing Unit.

CPU processes the data
GPU is the graphics card
RAM is the memory

I hope I don't insult your intelligence by mentioning these things.

A 10 year old Dell PC's had a CPU speed of about 2000. Fine for entering a longer term trade. Poor choice for scalping as it can not process a lot of data say with the NQ.

Over the last years, professional traders recommended a CPU speed of at least 8-15K.

I just built a PC with a CPU speed of 18K. For me, that now would be the slowest that I would install in a new PC.

So when some of the traders on this site choose a speed of 39K, they have just about the fastest processor there is.

Here is a link to a site that you can check out the processing speed of just about every chip out there. The site has a large menu for investigating other components of computers also.

I hope this info is helpful!

Tschüss!
