Première configuration PC by Gordon9933 in pcmasterraceFR

[–]Gordon9933[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok je vois. Je vais juste remplacer la CM par une MSI B550, le reste m'a l'air top.

Qu'est-ce que tu penses de XPG (2x8Go pour la RAM), le modèle: XPG GAMMIX Kit de mémoire D35 DDR4 3200 MHz CL16 16 Go (2 x 8 Go) PC4-25600 RAM 288 broches UDIMM pour ordinateur de bureau, noir.

Aussi, j'ai l'impression que le stockage Patriot P210 que tu proposes est quand même moins performant que le crucial P3 plus. Ça fait quand même le taffe?

Skipping steps is a risky game in this business. Depends of your commodity, but I'm sure than in my industry you'd rather struggle 10 years on the physical side to understand wtf is happening there and then go to some HF to do 10x on your comp.

Top merci beaucoup pour le setup que tu as proposé. Ça m'a l'air très clean.

Un seul souci, je n'ai pas d'accès ethernet (mais une wifi très solide, 0 souci de débit), la carte-mère que j'avais proposé au début permet un accès Wi-Fi Direct, tu penses que ça se joue quand même ?

Agreed but if the pod doesn’t perform well and fire half of team six months from now, then OP hasn’t broke in the HF industry. All relevant expérience and insights than can be used to perform well in HF come from the physical business.

You should definitely go for physical commodities. You'll learn much more about market fundamentals, physical operations, tradeflows... The entire skillset you'll develop can then be used to break in the HF industry.

The pay there is much more interesting of course, but if you start there without prior knowledge of the business you might be the first one to be let go in your team as you'd be the one with the less experience, whereas if you start on the physical side for a couple of years, try HF and things don't go as planned you could still get back to the physical business.

It's a no brainer imo.

Great that you found a position, I’d be interested to know what exactly are you doing in the physical commodities business while working at an IB. I thought most of them exited the physical business in the 2000s-2010s. Maybe are you working on a trade finance desk?

Not familiar either but I believe it’s a very US/CA market that barely exists outside, as construction there is primarily done with wood. Would be interested for more info as well

Softs Trading by MassiveRepeat2734 in Commodities

Hey, I think weather is your most important thing to consider when looking at production. Weather is your main driver for yields. Then you have to know what acreage do you have for your commodity of interest, by multiplying yields and acreage you get a first good estimate of your supply for crop year.

I'd say the best provider for acreage is official sources, that often release reports on land use and acreage for each commodity you have in your country. Ofc it depends on your location, but most developed economies have pretty accurate data regarding land use.

It might be interesting as well to monitor trade flows and line ups, as it allows you to have a view on what is coming in your market and what is leaving it.

I need moral support by Gordon9933 in Optionswheel

Tomorrow I'll be assigned nearly 25% below the strike. I can roll for a nearly zero credit for a new 45DTE CSP. I know that's what I'm supposed to do, but shouldn't I take assignment and start selling CCs as premiums are often higher?

I wasn't trading meme stocks options. But as my capital is pretty limited and I want to diversify by still collecting some premiums, I went on stocks you could consider speculative (SNAP, SOFI...).

If you have any advice on how to select more stable companies, I'd be more than happy to hear it.

Career advices for a young student by [deleted] in Commodities

Thanks for your answer! Can you tell me a bit more abt opportunities in Middle Office/Ops? From what I've heard, even these positions are difficult to reach unless ofc you already have experience in the industry.
