The guys with the smallest screens, or simplest setup...make the most, or bigger % gains. Having a complex trading setup is just to make yourself look smart, or highly technical. (kind of like a penis joke)
397 pages.........this must be a record for threads....! I am not going to post my HP 15 inch laptop because I think everyone knows what that looks like.
Yea. Mines a touchscreen (not helpful for my platform) but it's got 8gb ram with an i7. Works good enough.
Agreed. I would have put more small screens, to make even more money, but alas, didn't find the 'space'.
What matters most is what you have on the screens, and if they help you make money - no good having a fancy setup if you can not make money with it! J_S
It all depends on what you consider a complex setup! If one likes to draw loads of squiggly lines on the charts, then that is fine once one is making money using them - if not, delete them as quick as you can and start thinking in terms of doing the opposite to what you have been doing. The best way to accomplish anything, is to have a defined process. The trading process can have as many, or as little, steps as it requires - once the outcome is positive, then the process is fine, and can be fine tuned over time to increase productivity. The brain can only think about ONE thing at a time, and if you don't believe me, try it! J_S
I don't know... I started simple but things got out of hand. A complex system can run in the background (calculations) for which you don't need big screens. I use 2 screens (each 23"): one for charts (only trading ES) and second for my accounts with all information (Buy and Sell buttons, Open positions, working orders, open P/L...). And Chrome.
