Are 50 charts too many?

  1. IMHO -

    First that computer is an antique in this industry.

    Have him get an i7 and load up on RAM. 16GB isn't a problem anymore. One of the guys in my office just got a Hex core with 24GB Ram, Win 7 Ultimate (64bit) with the main HD being a 160 GB SS HD.

    That being said . . . is the 50 charts going for stocks or futures? Either way they should be slow intraday or swing charts. If not he is only setting himself up for failure. The human brain just isn't set up to process the information that 50 fast charts put out throughout the day.

    As a previous poster stated too, all indicators aren't created equal. The more indicators on a chart the more processing power and ram is needed to read them.

    Regardless . . . he needs to get a new system not just an upgrade to his antique.

  2. Did you try loading one chart at a time to see where performance becomes unacceptable?
