Its all in the speed of the laptop. Didn't you know?
am one of those in the 10%
That is lucky for you! All the best. Sorry, I haven't got any laptop suggestions, I just wanted you to at least think twice about it.
It's pretty easy to be in the top 25% of anything just by applying yourself to it.
@ozboygsl: Well, I decided to apply myself to trading since I was 18 (am a fair bit older now), don't consider myself a genius, but manage to bring home 20-50k extra per year. Best year was around $300k profit during the covid money printing. Here I am now living in my Richmond apartment that I'd never have been able to buy on my desktop tech job otherwise..
The main edge you need is to master your own psychology - it's not hard at all to figure out a profitable on paper system (in fact, flipping a coin would actually get you profitable a lot of the time), the hard part is not succumbing to greed or fear and selling or buying at the worst time. E.g. all I had to do was buy SPY calls during the bloodbath in the last few weeks while everyone else told me the world was minutes from ending forever - and I was up 80% in about a week on that trade.Worth looking into.
Not at all lucky. Have lost a chunk and gained few. Trading from 98
99% were losing last month.
From an ex supervisor at Pepperstone .. if a trader is winning 50-55% of their trades, they are considered really good

Joel Murphy, the whistleblower in the video was fired. He founded a new company with one of the two dudes (now rehabilitated) who were jailed for insider trading.

I would buy a LG Gram 17" with 32gb ram and Intel Ultra7. Whilst battery life is already 10hours+ you can just buy any 66w power bank. Thunderbolt 4 will output 2 4k monitors.
But with having said that probably best to stick with Dell or Lenovo with premium plans so you will have minimum down time if it breaks down.
Yep had an ey on LG gram - it might fit my requirement. Thanks

Bigger screen, bigger battery life = Heavy! You don't need a fast CPU. Are you trying to stock trade on the fly? The best option would be a PC/Small laptop with a few wide-screen monitors.

buy low, sell high
So that is what I was doing wrong ðŸ˜
Every time everyone is all in agreeance that the world is finally over as we know it and we're about to all be homeless and at war (e.g. about 2-3 weeks ago) is when you should be putting your entire life savings into slightly out of the money SPY and QQQ calls.
This is general advice, not tailored to your specific circumstances, and I am definitely not qualified to give any advice whatsoever (but I did make 80% return in about a week by doing it)
Can I ask why you have said you want a laptop over a desktop? This would help understand the needs.
Op needs to trade while he travels the streets of Paris and it needs to be easy to load on to and off the super yacht.
desk - 33%, couch - 33%, bed - 33%, bathroom - 1%
Bathroom? iPad is more suitable in my opinion. Even phone is fine ;-)
I did trading crypto from my phone in a bathroom in the past :P
I have experience trading stock, forex, gold, and crypto … mostly from my phone even though I have laptop and iPad.
Ah, so you plan to make crap trades less than one percent of the time.
If you still insist on bigger laptop, LG Gram 17 is a great option as it is 17" and still light in weight … Even lighter than Thinkpad 16"
Will the 17" going to be toilet friendly ?
Well, better than most other 17" laptops as being lightweight is more suitable to be toilet friendly. The LG Gram 17 is 1.35 kg in weight while other brands are heavier in general.
Imagine he is sitting in the toilet while watching his 17" laptop.
Interestingly you'd think the research skills needed to decide on a laptop would be identical for the research skills needed for trading successfully.
I don't think this venture will end well for OP.
I get the feeling the next thread will about about which stonks to buy.
From google: Research suggests that approximately 70% to 90% of traders lose money. How likely are you to succeed as a trader?
