Pictures of your trading stations

  1. Wow, you know your telecom! I was 5 years in outside PBX/VoIP telecom sales and you have me beat on knowledge. Were you a tech or operations manager in a former life?

    I am currently on cable, but since I trade from home, when moms and kiddies are gone, I am getting 7 meg down and 350 up or faster during RTH. I called Qwest, here in Denver, and they can't even tell me how far I am from the CO! I get some guy in India say you should be able to get 8 meg down and 768 up. Ok that make me feel good. Since there is no FTH in the near future, and I don't live in FIOS territory, I was look at the Hotbrick dual wan router. I just wish you could get both load balance and failover.

  2. Looks like CineMassive Displays, or a serious fan, setup a video of their MasterPlex on YouTube.

    I would pitch the displays down and in more to get a better wrap around feel but that combination of screen sizes and orientations seems really practical. 21.3" in the center with portrait wings and triple landscapes on top.

  3. Video cards

    NVS 440 any good ?

    I'm pricing a workstation and am not going with quad core chips, just two dual core xeon's. Will run two trading platforms and a charting application. The charting/analysis application is multi-threaded. Thoughts , comments ?

    Digital Tigers seems like a rip-off, selling the same shiite for more money. Thoughts?

    I don't like Dell sales or support that much but it seems i may be buying from them.

    Suggestions welcome, thanks.

  5. hey for those monitors that comes connected... either all 3, 4, or 6 together.... how many computers do you need? just one? i thought a video card only allows a maximum or 2 monitor connections.

  7. Maestro . . . . I found this Thread by accident last night, just as I was getting ready to go to bed you showed up with your first post, and this thread has changed for good. I stayed up all night reading through all 200 plus pages since your first appearence. Thanks for your patience dealing with some of the attacks. But we all have a lot we can learn from your examples, and that includes how you reacted to the attacks.

    I have a question for you: don't know if you still vist this thread, but if you do I will appreciate a reply, I will be checking this thread from time to time.
    Question: This market sentiment/emotion indicator of yours that you use - I was wondering, is there any indicator out there that works on the same principle as your or atleast similar. what is your favourite/ effective leading indicator - besides your own. Something the rest of us can use. I trade forex . . . . Thanks in advance.

  8. I had everything running off of 1, DOM, charts, internet, trading chat room. That was with a 4 head card running 3 monitors.

    Now I have 2 fast computers because my CPU was spiking too much to 100%. Eventually I will go to 3, but before that I need to find an acceptable KVM switch.

  9. Windows 98 and later support a maximum of 10 monitors connected to multiple (supported) video cards.

  10. Actually, that's a myth. 10 is merely a limitation of the built-in Display Properties applet, not of the OS itself. Third-party apps such as UltraMon can handle as many monitors as you'll throw at it. I've seen reports of 12- and 16-display setups put together, at least under XP. Now, can I interest you in a nice little 1000 Watt power supply upgrade? :p
