Actually, you'd be surprised. Here we care not necessarily that you are successful, but how you were able to get to that point. Hence the good vibe.

Yes Mr. Marcus, here at TL we admire succesfull people...

obviously success is not related with the amount of monitors...

feel free to share your technical insights, you dont need to show it all...

would love to see the same picture of your station with monitors on, so to have an idea of what you look at...

as to my experience one monitor was enough to be succesfull on trading, my second machine is just for gral web browsing...

but obviously it calls atention such a nice voluptuos station, though its some traders dream... mine its to lower it to a notebook (maybe a vaio)... and travel on Tablet Hotels: Unique Hotels for Global Nomads chain arround the world trading from a nice king suite the first hour of session and then enjoy the place... cheers Walter.

Here's my station: a desktop and an old IBM as back. Since I only trade ER2, I keep it simple and a contingency plan. Most times the laptop is used by one of my kids while I try to "trade."

Lol,

Guys all you really need is a good programmer........1000000 000 screens will not do it !!!
Anyway I am using the HP setup .

Wow. Some of you guys are really lucky. I just have a humble 2 monitor system. AMD Athelon 64, 2GHZ, 2.5 GB Ram, and a backup Vaio Laptop with Intel Core Duo, 2GHZ, 2 GB Ram, and wireless wan or I don't know the name of it but it can use cellphone networks for internet with a subscription. I use the main system for trading, research, email, etc. The laptop is mainly a backup at home, but it is on during trading hours because I also have the Slingbox AV, which allows me to watch my TV from my computer and also from any internet connection. So let's say I'm out of town or in a coffee shop and I want to trade, well, all I got to do is turn on the program and it will access my TV and even allow me to change the channels. I also have a UPS which is backing up my main computer's power supply with 1300VA. I also have my cable modem and wireless router which is in the other room backed up with a 500VA system in case the power goes out I have some time to close my work.

I wish I had a third monitor... but two will do for now

What platform are you using James?

Here is a more recent pic - I moved everything upstairs where its a lot brighter and I have a tv. I usually ignore the tv, but for some reason I like having a voice in the background it kinda keeps me awake. And it got too cold downstairs.

Hello. Just wanted to share my new trading desk:



I got a great deal on 2 used Proview LCD monitors, $15 each. The 3rd one I bought used from internet for about $70 including shipping. Then I got a second ATI 256 MB graphic card. So now I can have a total of 4 monitors.

These LCDs are a step up from the CRT monitors. They are easier on the eyes, consume less power, and less space.

3 monitors should improve my trading with multiple time frames.

So to recap my trading computers:

AMD Athlon 2800+ 64 bit 2GHZ, 2.5 GB Ram, 2 ATI Radeon 256 MB graphic cards, 1 APC 1300 VA UPS to backup my computer's power supply and 1 APC 500VA to back up my cable modem. Also had to replace my computer's power box today with a 500watt power box.

As a backup computer and to keep my main computer from over working I have a VAIO laptop with 2 graphic cards, one for high performance setting and one for low batter consumption setting, built in wireless cell phone internet. 2 GHZ, 2GB Ram, Intel Centrino Core Duo. Usually I don't buy the expensive brands like VAIO but I got it 30% off brand new from a Comp USA liquidation. On this laptop I can run CNBC or any of my cable channel from anywhere with an internet connection through the Slingbox which is connected to my cable TV and home network.

Excuse me if I'm being a bit of a show off, but I'm very excited it.
