Core i5 or i7 or i9


If you are scalper, then probably, you would be trading 1 script.  Software such as Jigsaw or Book-map do not expect a very high end CPU.

If you are a day trader with 50 symbols (NIFTY), then  no. of cores matter if you do real time scanning.Charting platform such as Amibroker uses N multi threads ( N= physical cores).  If the scanning time frame is 1m and multiple symbols are involved and further depending on the complexity of the scanning script, you might require a very high end CPU.

For a scanning time frame of 5m, and scanning script time of few ms, you would not require more than core i5. Any thing more than i5 is a premium not worth.

For a decent trading machine, you could be happy with core i5.
