Utility and Functionality
The NUC serves as a versatile utility machine for MoNoRi-Chan, providing him with the necessary computing power and resources to run forex trading bots, host various applications, and take advantage of fast internet speeds. Its compact size allows for easy portability and installation in different environments.
Placement and Integration
Initially, the NUC was placed inside the Grassstation shop during MoNoRi-Chan's vacation in Thailand. However, due to occasional power disruptions, his friend Name offered to house the NUC in the JasTel data center on 2022/10/13. The data center, with NZNet as a tenant, provided a stable power supply and free space for MoNoRi-Chan to house the NUC, ensuring uninterrupted operation.
MoNoRi-Chan had embarked on a shared journey with an old friend and mentor known as Kob. Their connection ran deep, and it was Kob who had guided MoNoRi-Chan's early steps in the world of forex trading.
Recognizing the potential of MoNoRi-Chan's NUC, Kob had joined him in a collaborative trading effort. MoNoRi-Chan provided Kob with access to the server, granting him a separate account to conduct his trading activities.
Together, they harnessed the power of the i7-10710U CPU with 1.10 GHz, running numerous charts and Expert Advisors (EAs), also known as trading bots. It was a partnership forged in the crucible of financial markets, where knowledge and experience converged.
Yet, MoNoRi-Chan had always known the limitations of the NUC. He understood that, beyond a certain point, the machine would struggle to handle the demands of over 30 charts running EAs simultaneously. With foresight and a thirst for efficiency, he had already made plans to migrate his trading operations to a more robust 40-core Xeon E5-2670v2 server.
MoNoRi-Chan's strategy was clear - the NUC might experience temporary setbacks, but his trading bots would continue their relentless pursuit of profit. It was a testament to his adaptability and commitment to success in the ever-evolving world of forex trading.
A Momentary Setback: The NUC's Resilience
On that fateful morning of September 13, 2023, when MoNoRi-Chan received the news of the NUC's failure, he was initially filled with a sense of loss. The machine that had been his trusted ally in the world of forex trading had faltered, and the blame was laid on the M.2 SSD, a casualty of the relentless heat generated by the i7 CPU.
However, MoNoRi-Chan was not one to be easily defeated. Instead of dwelling on the setback, he saw it as an opportunity for renewal and improvement. With determination burning in his eyes, he set out to address the issue that had led to the NUC's downfall.
The first step was a swift SSD replacement. MoNoRi-Chan carefully selected a new, more resilient M.2 SSD, one that could withstand the demands of his trading activities. With precision and expertise, he installed the new SSD and ensured that the NUC was once again ready for action.
But MoNoRi-Chan didn't stop there. He also took measures to enhance the NUC's cooling system, ensuring that the i7 CPU would no longer reach perilous temperatures. This proactive approach reflected his commitment to maintaining the machine that had been a cornerstone of his trading success.
With the NUC back in action, stronger and more resilient than before, MoNoRi-Chan felt a renewed sense of purpose. He knew that setbacks were a part of any journey, but what truly mattered was the ability to adapt and overcome.
As the forex markets continued to fluctuate, MoNoRi-Chan was prepared. The NUC, once down but not out, stood ready to execute trades, host applications, and monitor charts with unwavering precision. The setback had only served to reinforce MoNoRi-Chan's determination to thrive in the world of finance.
