Randolph and Randolph only had one monitor. I wonder if it's a 3270 dumb terminal connected to a mainframe.
I agree, Simple is best. You only need one monitor for trading...trading is not a science or an engineering rocket monitoring spaceship thing. You just need one basic, small screen to place an order and monitor the position. Alot of people make trading out to be so much more complicated or technical than the process really is. Trading Places is a great trading movie, in my opinion. -- they demonstrate the process out simply and understandably. Based on human emotions and wants/desires and common sense. Alot of other trading movies make their job seem so smart and stuffy.
While I have one monitor now, most of my trading life I've had two. One is clearly not enough. I don't monitor just one position at a time. I'd have an algo execution view, executions, maybe a chart or two, API console, TWS orders page - how to you easily fit all that onto one screen? If it's 40" inches then sure but not when the screen is below 30".
I just place one big order during the day, or two...I play both sides So for me, I have very basic tech needs; The ending of the movie Trading Places kind of sums up my trading style.
Other than leaving out the part about OJ having what, a $0.15 daily limit? Guess it wouldn't make for much of a movie if the price changed 15 cents and everybody called it quits for the day and went home. Otherwise, agree about it being a good trading movie. "Whether the price goes up or down, we at Duke and Duke still make the commission. Understand, Valentine"? "Yeah, y'all are a bunch of bookies". LOL! (And if you happen to catch the right version, you'll get to see Jamie's world-class rack!)
