4. Thanks Cam will be joining IU soon and go make a name for myself, I am a beginner trader and I appreciate all you do brother your amazing
5. What Lab top would you recommend to start off with? If you dont have enough room for your very own desktop
6. good stuff here!
7. Cam, any suggestions regarding the use of an Apple computer for trading? I'm thinking a Mac Mini fully loaded 16GB RAM with 2 screens, or would the iMac be better because you can get up to the 32GB RAM? Or are PC's just better for trading?
8. With respect to the SSDs, I would highly recommend going with PCIe instead of SATA, you will see a huge difference in IO.
9. Thank you for lesson 5!
10. good job Cam! The PC specs really made my inner geek happy and i'm looking forward to the broker video.
11. Is DAS available on Mac platform - or web based so any PC or Mac can use?
12. great lessons..keep it up
13. I might be a bit dumb but how can we be executed on a real time when we place an order ??
14. Thanks for the free videos.
    
    The power of your machine is not relevant to someone who is just getting started into trading. Yes you explained why you need the rad setup but the point is moot to someone just starting out so all they really need is a laptop that can run their brokers software and maybe an external monitor. watching more than one trade at a time for a newbie might be too much because they need to get the swing of things before they have a set up like the bridge of the Star Ship Enterprise.
    
    If that was my machine I would install the OS on a smaller solid state and get additional sold state drives for saving important files to, or with today's machines you can set them up in a raid which would be the preferred method. Could storage is an option if you trust your financials there. I don't.
15. i have literally taken notes on so far 5-6 pages front to back of notes lol im serious about this i've learned so much from you guys im 26 yrs old soon to be 27 in dec and im having a hard time figuring out who is free to use such as Etrade scottstrade tradeking
16. which das package would you recommend for someone new with limited funds?
    can you buy/sell stock on das inc yourself, or do you need a broker to do it for you?
    thanks
17. This is a really good video with good clear and sensible advice. Very impressed.
18. Any idea if the DAS Platform provides "Paper Trading" for beginners?
19. That view! Where are you trading from?
20. HAHAHAHAAH NATE HAD TO HAVE A BETTER SET UP THAN YOU LOOL
