How many monitors do you use while doing daytrading?

  1. Imagine I want to install TS on one computer and Esignal on another computer and I want to work on them simultaneously the same time. It's really a hassle to move data around and share data...
    Isn't it?

    I used two computers for a while with 3 screens, just not necessary anymore. Unless you are running Bloomberg or something, uses up a ton of bandwidth and RAM for some reason, not worth the hassle, even though I had the two networked. I find 1 computer and three 19" screens to be fine and not too distracting. Order routing takes up a tiny amount of bandwidth.

    1. Execution screens, positions, p&l

    2. Charts

    3. News, e-mail, internet, AIM


    19" Dell screens you can get refurbished, good as new, for $119 on Dell Outlet. Here is the link:

  10. I was using 2 quads, 1 twin and a single.

    However I am not using any monitors at the moment as I am trying to perfect Jack Hershey's "Trading for the Blind" method

    Here's Jack describing part of it (it is complex). It's a real space and money saver and I highly recommend you try it...
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    "This person talked about in the interview is known by his initials. He is blind by all the sensory tests and examinations. Two strokes made him blind. His nerves work as before beause they were tested and as expected were not part of the strokes he endured.

    I know he could sit in front of a screen and trade just as he can walk thorough maizes (the maize experiments were an after thought of his treatment folks where they got the surprise of their lives)."
    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    Once I perfect this I'm hoping to trim costs further by trading without the data feed.

    Has anyone else tried this?
