Three 30 inch monitors... is it enough?

  1. How did you go from 3 monitors to 14 monitors? :) What caused the thought change? :)

    More monitors = more information. However, as I have learned through trial and error, to me too much information is often as bad as too little. Also, starring at a huge monitor is tiring on the eyes, imo.

    I think it depends on your age and your ability to gather and process information. For my part, I have found that the more you automate, the less screen real estate one needs to stare at directly. Note that it is still useful to have lots of screen real estate, just not directly in front of you. If you are auto trading 30 markets, it is still very useful to have lots of large monitors. Just put them off to the side when you need to look at it. Different sounds will direct you to the right screen.

    There is no wrong or right. You will discover what is best for you over time.
