@John: I’m not an IT guy either, in my previous career I was a bread baker and now in sales and marketing. Have never put a PC together in my life, but just like with bread, you watch other people do it enough you can ease your way through it. Comes out a lot cheaper, especially to upgrade a few things here and there every few years 😉
@Jordan: My laptop is 7 years old, only running 2 cores and 4gb of ram. This think hates life when running FSB let alone get any other productivity out of it while running. Which is why I’ve turned to EA Studio, but eats up all my ram. So again cant do much while she’s running the softwares. Forum is about it lolHey Dommech,
I’ve been trying to figure out a portfolio myself, was looking to get a mix of the different sessions. So far I’ve been working on the following but want to add S+P 500, WTI, and Nikkei when I can figure out what parameters I like. Also my laptop is too old so I can only run a few pairs at a time…. want to make the market pay for my new computer 😉
EUR/USD, GBP/JPY, USD/JPY, XAU/USD, DE30Index, EUR/GBP
Hi Petko,
I was playing around with the idea of having the EA’s only active during their respective sessions. Is this something you’ve looked into or have any insights on? Started thinking about running session specific EA’s for like the EU, so it’d only be active right at the start of London till maybe noon here on EST when our NYC traders start calming down. Let me know your thoughts. Happy New Year everybody!
John,
Don’t feel bad, I was very close to swiping my card on a gaming laptop this weekend. I decided to look at how much it would cost to build a PC with the focus of processing power for the builders instead of graphics and frame rates for gaming. Check out a youtuber Joey Delgado. I’ve been watching his “how to build” videos. Everything he’s picked out for the budget builds are gaming specific. So I started doing homework on a data processing focus components with memory for all the data sets instead of high end graphics cards for frame rates.
Hola Petko,
Thank you for the insights, that does make a lot of sense. When’s a good time to turn everything back on? 2nd week of January?
Hola,
I’ve actually been doing a lot of homework on this topic the past week. My current set up is a 7 year old Sony Vaio, so this thing is crawling when running FSB or EA Studio. Since EA Studios runs on Popov’s servers I’ve been using it way more until I can get a new computer. Looking at building a PC with a 12-16 core processor, and probably going to go 32gb of Ram so I can actually USE my computer while running either FSB or EA Studios at lightning speeds. It would actually come out to be cheaper than buying a gaming laptop or pc which usually comes with a 6 core processor and 8gb of ram. I’m not a computer expert by any means but cores+ram=lightning speed is all I needed to know!
Good evening Petko,
Yes sir! I’ve been trying to play around with how to organize myself with work and EA Generating. Purging the Demo account if the EA shows bad stats after 20+ trades. But then again this is a rough time of the year to be interacting with the markets anyways. Thanks for the pointers on your search parameters, I did notice you like to have fixed SL and TP so will experiment with that more. I know you’re a few hours ahead of me so Merry Christmas from the US!
