Trading Computers

I still manually drag files to an external drive every month

For disk imaging I use Macrium Reflect. I can restore a disk with an image in about 20 minutes. For file copying I use Karen's Replicator although sadly Karen died a while back so there's no updates for it now. It's running fine on Windows 7 but I figure it's going to break at some stage down the track.

Moved back home into the Air Con and closer to the new bub....working a weekend job and trading a bit through the week....

I think you need to bite the bullet and just get 2 55 inch curved UHD OLED tv's.

Can't bring myself to do it, we're building a 400m3 home after Christmas and I'll have at least 3 tvs to buy for that....

What's a 400m3 house like?

 

[Gringotts Bank]

What's a 400m3 house like?

7.4m x 7.4m with 7.4m ceilings!

And 7.4 TVs on each wall.

7.4m x 7.4m with 7.4m ceilings!

And 7.4 TVs on each wall.

So that's 405 cubic metre. I guess 5m3 is enough for the overflow.

Excuse the typo....m2

That's a big ass house, especially if multi-storey. Markets must be treating you very kindly Canoz.

Yeah this is our second main priority, after the baby....pretty excited to finally build a home after 24 years of expat assignments. Allot of hard work and savings rather than just the market. It'll look something like this...oops, ASF not accepting png files....

Good on you man. Sounds like a very comfortable home you're getting there.

What's the m2 rate up that end? $1k/m2 or so?

1500-1800 per m2

We're at 1660 at the moment....

This is what I ended up with....working very well. Ultra fast starting up....seconds

 

[Trembling Hand]

You running over a wireless network?

You running over a wireless network?

Indeed. Mind you I'm only taking a couple trades a week. Once we get in the new place I'll be hard wired again.

 

[CanOz]

Added another two screens I had kicking around....cost me $25 for an hdmi/vga adapter and some wide electrical tape....I like it so I might buy a new stand.

Nice looking setup Steve ( screen envy ) , glass table a bit risky lol . Wireless card good for redundancy later anyway when/if wired net goes down , use 4g hotspot from phone in emergency . 16g ram enough ?? I just recently doubled up to 32 after getting a bit of lock up occasionally . My setup fwiw

 

[CanOz]

I like how your screens are so seamless.

Yes glass is risky and I'll be getting a brateck stand up desk for the new house.

I'm running ninjatrader 8 and it's fine with 16g. I'm only use 25% of my memory with all that running. It's a bit tricky to start up but there's a work around for the known issues now.

IG PRT is java based so is a memory hog , i go over 50% of my 32gb installed a lot . I do have up to 40 charts open at once though , since i installed 32gb been smooth running though , My monitors came as a set with stand and very thin bezels , at the time i bought then they were worlds thinnest , its actually a gamers setup , i dont game though .
