5000 subscriber special | Tour of my trading desk
what is up everybody welcome to the 5 000 subscriber special i want to thank you guys for getting me this far that's flomac by the way uh he lives on top of the trading room get a good look at him he is the guardian of the trading room he's actually uh one of my favorites so anytime you've seen the camera shake and [ __ ] it's cause he's climbing up there uh but yeah this is the training room if you guys have not seen the 1000 subscriber special uh things have been updated and it's uh was a tour of the trading room we're gonna do that again we're gonna do another tour i think it's that time got some modifications here we got this cardboard so uh why do we got this cardboard here well um womack now he's destroying this blanket there's all these uh nail marks in it because he likes to climb up it and attach to it and then he goes up top so this is sort of a uh anti-womack shield i don't mind him going up there he has fallen through the roof a few times so we had to make some reinforcement modifications uh but the trading room is in a closet actually uh so she's very uh you know i was a professional looking that's all right it is okay it's a post-apocalyptic trading room that's what this is i'm proud of this baby this thing's a beaut so uh before we go in there uh let's go ahead and take a look at the sides so you kind of know what it looks like on the outside so as you can see this is the side of the trading room we got some wood up there and uh we got a uh a carpet right here for some of the roof material and then we got a foam mattress topper for acoustic reinforcements which is going to be attached by a ratchet strap so that's kind of what's going on up here and what you got going on behind the uh ratchet straps by the way is that it's it's it's a closet door it's a double closet door deal it's opened up now you wouldn't be able to tell but the outside isn't very impressive uh it's when we go inside so uh we just open up this flap and uh we're gonna step in so let's go ahead and go in there we never just come straight into the trading room as you guys have noticed in many of my videos in the past there is a picture to my right which is the great mike bella fury of smb capital and any time you step foot into this trading room you must pay your homage so please respect my homage payments as we pray to the great mike bella fury of s b capital i hope i don't catch on fire because everything's very flammable in here the oh thank you for that guys now we can move on to the tour alrighty guys i think the first place we should start is the history of this trading room why do you trade out of a closet fat cat well i'm gonna [ __ ] tell you so first and foremost what you should understand is uh i used to have a trading room in a smaller bedroom near the back of the property this is a duplex i own it and i rent the other side out so when you first if you ever see my how to read a dom video it was originally created in a different room i ended up getting kicked out of there it got turned into a guest bedroom which [ __ ] sucks so i ended up going into the dining room well a little thing called cove would happen in march of 2020 don't know if you've heard of it or not uh when that happened the girlfriend and the kid stayed home from work and school they had to do work and school from the house i used to have this place all to my [ __ ] self well when your trading room is the dining room and you got tile on the floor it gets pretty [ __ ] loud especially when the kitchen is right behind your head so there's too much going on and uh i had to get the hell out of there i needed a quiet sanctuary to trade from and this is where i moved into this closet so there are double doors that close right here i've since opened them and i've built some rigging up to turn it into a route so the reason i turned this into its own room is because i sh the wall over here is very thin and my tenant's master bedroom is just on the other side of that wall this specific entire room that i'm in i could have used it problem is it's so thin you can hear everything everybody is saying relatively clearly and i'm pretty loud and i cuss a lot and honestly i would like my tenants to sign another lease and if they hear their landlord talking like an [ __ ] and yelling all the time that's a problem so let's go ahead and look at the solutions to fix those issues so at the beginning of the video you remember that blue mattress topper it is on the side of this closet door and this is the door jamb by the way you can see where the two doors latch um i had built this pvc rigging up here which actually is propping the doors open uh so that way they don't open or close and now they're kind of like walls at this point so that very thick mattress topper is right here on the other side of this wall and what i did was i originally put it here to buffer my loud voice from going into the room next door uh behind this is actually a metal bread tray uh you can actually see the legs of it down here so um i wrapped this blanket around there to further buffet things and it was just sort of a back wall to sort of help with the sound from coming out the tenant did hear me make a video one time and i was so loud that she thought i was murdering my family so i had up my uh sound reinforcement because there originally wasn't a roof on the on the deal so i ended up throwing a quilt up there a carpet whatever i could find uh to put up there recently i got this acoustic uh blanket which i will show you so this acoustic blanket was installed and it has these metal eyelets it is zip tied to the pvc rigging up here um and it runs all the way down the length uh here it doesn't quite go to the floor stops there there's an extra quilt there to kind of hit the floor but this entire area from this void in here where mike bella fury lives didn't used to exist if you watched the 1000 subscriber special the wall actually came to here and if you look at it the room was originally uh this big so that's not much space at all uh really to move to move the chair back that i'm sitting in uh so i added this extra little void so that way if i wanted to stand up or whatever uh i could put my office chair in here and we installed this high-tech cardboard wall and further extended the pvc rigging there so i'd like to continue with uh what's up here we have these switches in here that actually fade uh the lights you can so if i turn all of those down uh and these are like the studio lights you can see i can set them however i want uh we do have this one here and there's three of them total so we can adjust them usually i just come in here and i'll run my hand across like this and just hit them all there's another one there that doesn't really do a good job a bunch of [ __ ] up there uh legos and stuff that have been there forever now let's kind of uh look at what we got going on here so this is a selfie stick when you see me do my videos uh my cell phone is attached to this right here um and there is this cable that has an hdmi cord that actually plugs into the cell phone there is also a charging port on it as well uh so that's this is where what you guys are seeing is from that perspective most of the time now this court does run into this video switcher we'll talk about the equipment here in a moment so uh let's look at the acoustic treatment this is more of a newer deal just to help with the sound quality of the videos there's this uh lego guy here he looks like he's been living in a deserted island him and i relate uh we're brothers because that's how i feel being back here all the time so these acoustic foam things are from amazon they are on very sharp uh three inch roofing nails you can see there so if i ever get if i ever just fall down i'll probably die so why do i have uh giant nails holding uh the acoustic uh treatment up well that's because i've done some research and when you put a void behind the treatment it helps further dampen sounds because the sound can apparently come back here and get absorbed on the back end so i spent a lot of time trying to figure out where to place these steels ended up doing the corners and the top of here on both sides and you can see that they also have the voids behind them um so these are perfectly placed for when i'm speaking and i sit down the desk uh does raise it's from ikea by the way so if i'm decide i want to stand now this is at my height so that way when i'm speaking now we have the ones up here all right now that we know how the construction is and all that let's go ahead and go over here i obviously have a bunch of [ __ ] inside of a plastic tub pins uh spare buttons and templates for the x keys uh you know just whatever you need is in there so this right here is i decided to step up the quality of my uh oh [ __ ] i did not see you there bro anyways i decided to step up the quality of my audio i had this mixer here um it's an xlr deal and it's a digital mixer so let's the way everything's routed in here is actually very interesting so this is going uh into this pc over here we're going to call this one total seal there are actually two computers there is one over there one over here this one does strictly jigsaw trading this does everything else but anyways this mixer here you have the mic like it lives back here and i have several mics i was testing and if i wanted once i start to do some sort of episode or whatever you just pull it out and it's good to go um and there she is obviously we're not using it for this because it would be a little difficult but i need to route these cables better because it took me a long time to figure out what mics i needed to use i was testing several different mics and this is obviously running into total seal back there um so i'm gonna have to clean all that up the cable management isn't as [ __ ] up as you think let's go ahead and go down here to this device this is a upc i believe is what it's called um it is legitimately this is the best thing ever um so it is on a cinder block because since the table does go up and down i accounted for all the wiring so i needed to make sure there was enough slack and when the desk is all the way up this was a little too low so we put it on uh cinder blocks actually the original desk that was in here from the 1000 subscriber special did not go up and down this ikea desk here is a newer addition i had my older desk on cinderblocks and they were up like this and for several months i was actually standing and trading i decided you know what this sucks i want to be able to sit down so i got this desk and now i never [ __ ] stand up uh when i trade anymore so what happens is if any if the power goes down this thing kicks in um you can see it has the load on it and how much battery is in it the the internet is connected to it all the monitors both pcs goddamn near everything is connected to it that's in here so if the power does go down i probably have five minutes uh on this it has a bell an alarm that goes off if uh the power goes down so i know that i need to get out of a trade the power actually shut down slightly and kick back on last week and i was in a trade so this thing definitely has saved me multiple times it's very [ __ ] heavy device uh you can see that everything is plugged into the back of it obviously i charge my phone from it as well uh but yeah there's that so let's go ahead and take a look at the next thing okay i think the next thing we're going to do is look at the actual computers but i do want to just mention this block stayed in here because i do this and uh just chill at times but anyways let's look at these pcs here so the monitors are all able to like move out of the way so i can move that like so uh we're gonna move this uh up here and then uh this is sort of ghetto rigged we're gonna move it out of the way like so and now now we have uh let me take a step back now you can see we have access to total seal this is an hp z600 uh it's tool-less let me get that out of the way so uh wherever you see these green tabs you just can pop stuff out this actually has a shitload of ram in it 40 something gigs i believe oh god this is falling all right cool i don't want to uh blow out that monitor okay anyways we got to be careful uh so there's your this is your power supply i did have one that died at one point both computers are the same so the pc over there is exactly the same if i ever need to swap anything around solid state drive it's on a five hour energy shot cap that's propping it up all the rams in here this device has fans in it that blow onto the ram these are old school workstations you have two processors in them both of them are six cores so and then down here we have a 1060 uh graphics card this thing needs to be dusted and an elgato capture card so this card is used for streamers so it has an hdmi and an hdmi out uh so this this is what makes things pretty interesting uh let me actually put the cover back on and we're going to talk about how these two computers are connected to each other this pc back here is only running jigsaw and it only comes through this specific monitor in the bottom middle um so that has a 1050 ti in it uh there was a video with futures trader 71 and he talked about running your execution platform off one pc and i'll tell you once i just decided to do that and these computers are really cheap by the way 300 bucks delivered obviously the graphics card is gonna be a different story i happen to have uh two of them so the 1050 went in there and then that got upgraded to a 1060. but yeah so this all this does for 300 bucks both of these things were 300 bucks obviously i i've upgraded them since so they have more ram more capabilities i've upgraded the process the the processors to them um but anyways this goes just to that and it's just jigsaw that is it never i don't have performance issues i do not have performance issues with jigsaw at all no stuttering no nothing because when i have jigsaw on this computer and this computer by the way it runs everything so i run two streams off of that um i'm streaming i'm streaming my sessions to youtube from this computer it goes out into that capture card and then i'm talking on discord sometimes i'm streaming on discord at the same time sierra charts web browsers uh my tastyworks option platform uh this computer's doing so much and every six months or so i would wipe the drive and do a clean install because the performance would degrade over time and jigsaw would start to run like [ __ ] but now that jigsaw is on its own deal it just runs so good so what happens is the 1050 ti in this has three ports coming out of the graphics card so it can run up the three monitors and in my 1000 subscribers special those three monitors were these asus all the same kind i don't know what brand like like what model they are but anyways uh they're all going into this video switcher which is a very expensive piece of equipment that you guys do not need i just happen to have it from stuff i've done in the past that has nothing to do with trading so what you're seeing here is uh the 1050 ti is coming out and the three ports are here i labeled everything and then there's a it can run up to four deals obviously i have es and q and cl on it uh this fourth one actually runs the camera for when you guys are watching my videos so this i showed you earlier that runs the camera let's actually hook it in so you guys can see so i don't know if that oh there you go so now you can see me recording uh what we're doing because it is coming through here and then if i press this button it'll go back uh to jigsaw so this this is i press this button and now my one monitor is like can be up to four so yes i'll press uh the button and then watch the screen and then you go to nq or crude even though i don't really actually trade those um so this is kind of overkill and then the final button is for the camera now what happens is there's an output here that output goes all the way to total seal and it goes into that capture card we looked at down there and one hdmi comes out of that capture card and it goes straight into this bottom monitor so everything i'm doing from there comes through here i can change up to four screens and then it gets turned into one one output goes into there and then when i'm streaming on this pc uh that pc doesn't worry about streaming it's not it doesn't have any workload a lot of gamers use two different pcs when they're streaming because it can put stress on the system so now this system is doing everything for me i don't even stream from the jigsaw uh pc as well so that's this device lives here obviously i use these uh uh this these are basically shelf brackets uh from home depot and uh this is a kvm switch so both pcs are on one keyboard it's a steel series from walmart super high end uh not really the kvm switch is right back there so when i press this button here i'm switching the keyboard between uh the two pcs so that green light on the right is the total seal pc and the one on the left is the pc on the left i had to make sure that was those lights were going in the right direction but as you can see here we i do have a bigger mouse pad it's all [ __ ] up because the cats walk on it but anyways this monitor is for the total art monitor this [ __ ] mouse is a piece of [ __ ] mouse too like if i shake it you can hear there's broken plastic in it uh this goes to the total seal pc so my sierra charts all that is uh on that this gaming mouse is actually going to um the jigsaw pc uh so what well it's not toggling over so i'll toggle toggle it over this will turn red and it does some weird [ __ ] um it's just this weird stuff with cancelling orders on jigsaw when you right click you can like cancel orders but you can also place them but with the left click you can't cancel them but you can place orders so i put the right click on the left side uh when you guys see me realigning the dom i'm pressing this button here with my thumb right there and then when you see me clear the orders in the middle of the dom it's with the right click button so clear orders clear orders align dom align dom and then that's the trigger so that gaming mouse is awesome um and that's running you know on the jigsaw computer there so i wanted two mouses uh because i want to keep my cursor on over the dom i don't want it to be in some weird spot and when i'm surfing around on sierra charts uh i'm not i don't have to switch over uh mouses and when you hit that kvm switch it does take a minute so watch how this turns blue takes a minute and now it's connected so obviously when you're trying to get into a trade or something that switch over takes too long and again i i want the mouse to be ready to go on the dom i don't want it to be on one of these five [ __ ] monitors and then i gotta figure out how to get back here um so it's just easier for me to just kind of hop between the two mouses by doing this and then i can pull up the cursor on uh here and then i can like measure out like a specific level and i'm like oh i want to watch that specific price when i have the cursor up you can see that wherever i [ __ ] put it so it's at 98.25 so i'll just come down here and i'll be like okay well let's what's 9825 and i can use that crosshair as a reference on sierra charts so that's the video switcher this thing was like 999 bucks when i first got it but that was a long time ago um it's pretty cool and just been sitting around don't recommend one of these kvm switch it's on velcro that's the actual switch part running that device um so the cable management is a lot cleaner than you think uh it doesn't look that way you can see every thing's tied in on this line and if we actually come back here uh the cable management everything's dusty everything is just done up pretty well i know it doesn't look like it but it is especially up here and it's everything's all the cables are managed and obviously the audio cable needs to be done up right everything is managed in a way that i can pull out specific components and it doesn't interact with uh other components so if i need to start pulling apart the switcher and redoing the wiring on this it's on its own wiring loom its own system so it's easier to pull apart the internet is down there as well but again everything is tied in really well under the desk does need to be clean it took me [ __ ] forever to start wiring [ __ ] up nicely uh but that's a example of a better wire job with the zip ties and [ __ ] so that is what's going on with the two computers i like it it works well so let's talk about the x keys this this set as this actually i had a cat that actually chewed this and broke it uh he's from the 1000 subscribers special his name was groot he is uh he's since passed a long time ago r.i.p groot but anyways this x-keys it what what this does is uh i have a video on x-keys they're just hot keys i put in the key blockers you can take them out if you want so this does see our chart so if i want to pull up the crosshair it'll send the mouse to pull up the crosshair if i want to do the hand tool there's a hand tool like here's a line so if we look at this uh you'll see the mouse will go up here by itself by me just pressing the button and now i can draw the line oh i don't like that line let's get a pink one so i press the button and now it's pink so everything in here except for these four are doing something with sierra chart these four are for my streaming software this does uh when where when you're watching videos and i'm switching between screens these four buttons are what do that everything else is pretty oh this is for discord this is obviously to mute my mic or deafen i like to draw pictures on the x keys and use different colors instead of everything being done on in pen this turns off the lights all of these buttons are hashtags so when i'm going in the journal ticks these buttons are how many tries the trade takes because i tag every trade how many tries was i trying on this setup one two three four up to ten tries these two these two pairs go together so was a level clean or dirty when i got into it meaning was there other levels that could potentially deflect the price back in did the trade have multiple factors of support yes or no was it a pullback trade or was it a first test did i get in on the playbook entry or did i use another level was it a plus did i reverse the setup these keys don't really do anything right now it's that's what those are and then i grade if it's high medium or low volatility these are for grading entries i'm not currently using this so was i too early was it a good entry late entry uh did i chase the trade or was there no reason for the entry uh these are exits was the did i exit early was the exit good was he exit late could i not react and did i move my stop i'm not using these i will at some point start using these again but right you know from this side over and then these two is primarily what i'm using nothing is going on in there um i do have one button that uh everything in my youtube descriptions this button adds i just press it and it types everything in and there is another button i think it's this one up here when i'm doing my journal it types up automatically everything i want on in the journal so it'll put in the date it'll put in the some other entries and stuff so this goes to the total seal pc on the right um this one goes to the jigsaw pc this is a smaller x key unit so when i'm trading this is the configuration now uh four three two one these are the lot size there's a spacing in between them sandpaper on the button so i rest my fingers in here this is the flat key this is the most important key second most important key is this cancel button these adjust my stops and this is to take my mouse cursor so when i use this this is switching screens all these do is take my mouse cursor to the appropriate screen so i'm not trying to fumble around and find it it just pops the cursor right to where i need it these buttons i don't really use or this one this one toggles the lights off so when i press this it'll toggle the light off so really it's these two buttons and then these and then these that i'm really using uh so my hands are on here when i'm trading and then that gaming mouse so and then the keyboard is obviously kind of put to the back because this is more important to me is to be doing this so let's talk about the monitors now again the middle one is strictly for that pc they can cycle up to four different screens on one via the switcher so that's the jigsaw this is my main sierra chart deal it is rigged up here uh because and these two monitors are connected with these uh aluminum bars it is top heavy uh there's a swivel behind here that's swiveling this screen and uh this is so heavy that if it starts to rotate too much it'll fall over i didn't really think it through when i made it i i don't know if you can see what you're seeing here but down there's the swivel um yeah but anyways so the main sierra deal is up there so my eyes are going from here to here i got secondary sierra there i will have my web browser up over there as well so on that deal if i want to look at something on twitter or if i want to look at the econo day calendar or like an email i'll go there this one down here i have my um normally i have my uh tastyworks option chain right there so since i ended up getting two pcs it allowed me to expand into more screens so that's why this little [ __ ] deal this is what i just had this laying around and this is a [ __ ] tv so yeah that's they're just for secondary so the option chain is down on that and then i'll have discord in there as well a lot of the time and then on this uh auxiliary monitor this is running my vmix streaming software so i use vmix because vmix integrates really well with x keys and that t-bar this t-bar actually didn't work unless you used vmix you can use obs but i paid for vmix because i was doing more professional [ __ ] like webcast stuff a long time ago i just kind of have that up there right now uh it is sunday so obviously nothing is happening but uh so vmex is usually up here uh my journal is up here so i look on this when i'm trying to put in journal entries um and what else do i put up there i think that's about it to be honest with you so that's what's going on on these five monitors um higher time frame [ __ ] is also up here as well so we got higher time frame charts on that um but again this is the one i'm doing most of the web browsing on not that one definitely not that one uh this computer has not seen any web browsing whatsoever so with all that being said i hope you guys enjoyed the updated tour of the trading room thank you for getting up to 5 000 subscribers i appreciate it i'm not doing one of these specials again until 10 000 subs and when that happens i don't know what i'm gonna do uh but again thanks for the milestone guys i never really thought the channel would grow the way it has i appreciate it i'd appreciate it if you guys liked this
