Place maybe 5 average using limit price, GTC, adjust daily, not all are executed on the same day. I am not a day trader.
Personally, I make an average of 40 trades/day. Some days I do over 100. I am a professional day trader and only trade stocks. Some days, like yesterday, when it's slow and the types of stocks I like to trade aren't there I only need 2. Other days I feel like I could use more than the 4 I have. I don't see it as a huge investment for myself. Everybody's situation is unique, but I want 6 right now for mine. I think the layout would make things easier for me. Some people might only need 2, others might want 24, I don't judge. All that matters is the return on investment at the end of the day.
Oh, okay. I just assumed you traded very short term (intraday) by the time frames of your charts. I guess you're finessing the entries and exits. With that in mind, may I ask what kind of r:r would characterize your average/typical trade?
Who cares what other people think. Get the system you want. I run 6 24" Dell Ultrasharps (1920x1200), mounted on Ergotech 3x3 stand. Granted this was back in 2013, so there may be better/cheaper options now.
do curved monitors serve a useful purpose if you use one monitor. what curved monitor do you recommend.
Nice, clean setup. I'm always curious about these things when people have more than a couple of monitors or so: how many markets do you follow, and in what time frames?
In my opinion, for 1 large monitor to replace for example 2 or 3 other monitors, i would go for curved. It is easier to see the information on the outer edges of the monitor. In the end, if you have a multiple monitor setup you also place these in a curve around the seating position. You should try placing a 3 monitors next to each other in a straight line and then sit in the middle, it just looks weird.
