Poor man’s streaming

Since live streaming isn’t quite back yet (I’m still working on making that a reality again), I started looking for a simple alternative.

The idea was take the capture card from the old streaming PC, connect it to an old Linux box, and let FFmpeg grab a fresh screenshot every couple of minutes.
To my surprise, it worked remarkably well.

As a result, the /tradingroom page now includes a semi-live view of my trading workstation.
The screenshot updates automatically and gives you a real glimpse of what I’m currently looking at throughout the trading day.

The capture is only shown when cTrader is connected and has active positions or orders, and the blog has a draft for the cuirrent session.

There is also an interesting side effect: you’ll now be able to see when I do something questionable, make a mistake, or generally engage in what can only be described as “stupid shit.” In a way, it adds a bit of transparency and oversight to the whole process—which is probably a good thing.
