Trading sim today to try and get over this lack of confidence issue. Kinda glad I did. What a chop fest. Maybe it will pick a direction after lunch like it has been lately. Picking decent entries and taking them is easy in sim. markets just not giving me a trend to hold onto.

And yes @Rrrracer I slept in this morning. LOL! I was beat last night. Finished up building 2 Christmas gift gaming computers.

MSI's Godlike Z390 motherboard.
Intel I9 9900k processor.
32 gig DDR4 3600 mHz ram
2 1TB nvme drives running in a Raid 1 set up (mirror each other)
EVGA RTX 2080 FTW3 graphics card
Dual 31.5 inch 144hz 1ms monitors.

Benchmarks were nuts when I ran them. The boys are going to be shocked at Christmas. Neither one has upgraded their computer over the last 5 years.

That's an awesome computer you built.
I gave up on the markets earlier
figured better to walk away with small profits then none.
the 5 min looked crazy with the big swings in the morning.

One of those computers sounds like enough for two boys; I'll PM you my address so you can send the other Nice build... what was the total cost on one?

About 3200 for the PC and about 600 for the dual monitors. They don't like how slow 4k is so the monitors are only 2k. So, 3800 total for each system. I wanted to put something together that would last them another 5 or so years.

It used to be enough for two boys. Now one lives here and my youngest is moving to Seattle right after Christmas. He is going to work for Boeing. I asked him if I could get the employee discount on my new 777. He just rolled his eyes. LOL!

I think it is related to some uncertainty around the interest rates tomorrow. I am certain they will bump it up .25 again but some are saying they won't due to how bad the stocks are doing. Who knows? I know I will not be in a trade at 2 pm tomorrow.

Most anything in the 1080p range was running 250-300 fps. 2k a consistent 190-200 fps. That's with the GPU at stock settings. A little tweaking and who knows.

I have a huge list of insane builds I want to do over the next few years.

Wow what a crazy ride. Glad I wasn't on it..... OK wish I was on it in the right direction but I was away from my computer for a few hours. I don't like doing anything anywhere near an interest rate announcement sim or live. 308 points of movement is a good reason. LOL! 80+ tick 1 minute candles nearly 2 hours after the rate announcement. Good sign price movement is out of my league.
