Why should a trader read the Trading-Computers blog?

  1. This blog exists to help many traders who have questions about hardware. Many of them have the same questions. Also, many traders can tell about their own experiences with their specific hardware and help other traders.
  2. A trader wanting a new computer can easily catch the gist of what he / she should be looking for in a trading computer.
  3. Every trader can author the blog post and share his / her experiences.
  4. Because the blog is a simple publishing platform, it encourages the sharing of tacit trading knowledge of both computers and software used for trading, which helps everyone.
  5. Traders can view information in a centralized area. This helps avoid “reinventing the wheel”. Also, one trader may borrow concepts and ideas from another trader, leading to innovative discussions.

So, if you are interested in getting help or have questions regarding trading computer hardware, there is one place to go: Trading-Computers blog.
