@alexfinn Cursor had this already. It's good but you over hyped it.

@quantbeckman I love it, but it's definitely AI. None of the hardware makes sense, and zoom in on the keys.

The search for the perfect command centre goes on.

I gave Pavel the benefit of the doubt for years but tbh this is pretty conclusive. Using Telegram helps the Putin regime:

Pavel travels to Russia frequently, despite claiming not to. And fun fact, when I spoke about this on TG, the messages disappeared.

I love it, but algo trading/quant stuff is not trading.

Even the best edges need watering down to cover edge cases and diversification criteria.

It's great, but it ain't trading.

Trying to automate is just one compromise after another.

Ask me how I know.

IYKYK.

⚠️ European macro markets are positioned for Goldilocks/Soft Landing. 50% tariffs on Europe would derail this $EUR

@theaschop @GoshawkTrades It's nice for dev, gaming, dual or triple window tasks, monitoring news... Lots of uses. If you like screens, they are good screens. If not, stick to 13in, no sarcasm I genuinely agree it's not the screens that make a trader. But they are nice.

@AmanChaure14 @GoshawkTrades I use i3wm and 3 browser windows side by side works, or just one huge minute chart covering the whole day.

Tiling in MT5 works ok, 4 or 6 charts is comfortable.

@Trader_Pow @GoshawkTrades This is the way.

Still haven't tried the "5k" LG tho as main.

Time to get this thing going again. According to AI I suffer from 'Hyperbolic Discounting' and have an 'Attention-Behaviour Gap'. This is an attempt to overcome these and hit some goals.

As such, I'm setting a goal to hit a 25k trading account this year, from prop or personal.

The future of genomic research and #DeSci is looking strong. Bio-warfare, medicine, bio-hacking... This is an inflection point in medtech.

Big thanks to the ever impressive @GenomesDAO project for allowing exome (most common/partial genome) uploads to your platform. People who've paid for the privilege of data abuse and dark patterns at "big DNA" suppliers can now use that data to get paid for research done on it.👇

And if you try to protect your data by dissociating your ID (fake name/birthdate) you lose access to your data completely (ask me how I know).
