When we think about what wins winning traders from those who struggle, we usually see strategies, indicators or a little insider know -how. But what if the biggest lead is on your desk all the time? In this episode I sit down with Eddie Z, also known as Russ Hazelcorn, the founder of EZ Trading Computers and Ezbreakouts. With more than 37 years of experience as a trader, stock agent, technologist and educator, Eddie has built his career around one mission: helping traders by cutting noise, prevent expensive mistakes and getting the tools they need to remain competitive in a fast moving market.
Eddie breaks down the specifications that are actually important when building a trade setup, from ram to CPUs to data feeds, and exposes which so -called “upgrades” are nothing more than too expensive fluff. We also dig in the rise of AI-driven trading platforms and bots, and what traders can do today to prepare their machines for the next wave. As Eddie notes, a lagging system or a missed feed is not only an inconvenience – it can be the difference between a profitable trade and a precious loss.
Beyond the hardware we explore the wider image. Rising rates and global supply chain disturbances reform all the way in which traders have access to technology, and Eddie shares practical steps to prevent them from being caught. He also explains why many experienced traders overlook their machines as a “secret weapon” and how fast, targeted fixes can transform the reliability and performance in less than an hour.
This conversation goes deeper than specifications and gadgets. Eddie opens about the philosophy behind the EZ factor, his unique approach that combines decades of Wall Street expertise with advanced technology to simplify trade and to help people succeed. We talk about his companies, including EZ -Handelscomputers, trusted by more than 12,000 traders and Ezbreakouts, which are used by many years of experience daily and weekly choices.
For traders who want to rise to a level – whether you are just starting or manage several screens in a professional setting – this episode is full of insights that can help you sharpen your lead. The perspective of Eddie is clear: the right machine, the right mindset and the right knowledge can not only make trade more profitable, but, as he likes to say, as “EZ” as possible.
