old office in tokyo (soho, architect helped draw up my draft and have it built) but trading desk = reading desk, porn desktop = trading desktop
Very nice set-up. Inspiring. I had the impression you were more mobile from some other thread. Do you have a mobile solution as well?
21" monitor is the home screen for TWS. The 32" monitor just has 5 chart windows, a bunch of thumbnail charts, and an order thingie. The thumbnails are especially nice to keep an eye on TVIX and TQQQ/SQQQ. I can also park a trade in one of the thumbnails if it doesn't require my eyes on it all the time. A double click, and it is maximized but no chart trader on it. The laptop on the right is for screener and web, and amusing myself with youtube and stuff. The 7" screen connected to a Raspberry pi behind the magic stock selector crystal ball and the glass of home brewed ale is sometimes used for a screener. My screener is invariably TradingView. Made a nice win today so I am going to treat myself to a 65" monitor and a nice desk chair, with my winnings, some time in the next few days. I will update pic then. Main computer powering the two big monitors is a Dell Optiflex refurb and a graphics card upgrade. Laptop is Dell as well. Both running Ubuntu 16.04. Raspberry Pi is running Raspbian, a lite version of Ubuntu Mate I think. This is a WinDOHs free house.
what do you do at the desk that can make it that dirty. i keep a trash bin close, to ensure it will never accumulate trash
Normal human activities like eating and drinking mostly. I tend to accumulate dishes until I can't fit any more.
As a wage slave I worked in offices for years and by & large hate that type environment. At home I have an office, heaps of desk space but I only go in there to place a trade, in and out in a few minutes, longest wait is booting up. Nearly all my trading research is done; in bed, coffee shop, on couch in lounge at home. Right now it's 02:17 am, in bed.
