I'm curious what most home traders use for their computer trading set up. I have a home made set up. Cable modem, main computer has two video cards with multiple screens for a total of 8 monitors. Winxp OS a comfortable but getting worn out chair. I see active trader commercials and the guy is using a laptop with one screen? I wouldn't dare try trading with less then two screens except for an emergeny backup to get out of positions, maybe? Anyway this is what I have.
AMD 3200 processor
512 of ram (yea I could use more, I gotta get around to getting it)
Two 4 head video cards matrox
Cable modem
8 19 inch LCD montitors
Homemade stands for the montiors so they fit close and angle properly and make viewing easier
Standard keyboard and optical mouse
The two things I consider most important is stability and comfort
A TV sits to the side so I can watch the news CNBS or whatever, the sound is usually off but I kind of watch it at times for the news. I often just play music and watch the screens and do the trades, actually it's more like wait to make the trades. Reminds me of fishing kind of sometimes.
Anyway I'm curious as to what computer systems most people use and I'm open to any suggestions.
I enjoy reading the forum,
Thanks,
David
