Trading computer setups

I have a HP....thats what the lid of the laptop says. :banghead:

No fancy screen or computuers here.

The laptop is fine, its my internet connection that sometimes leaves me in trouble. Nothing like having to phone in a close positon order with IG because of packet loss over my Satellite connection!

I hope with this combination you are not trading intra-day...:eek:
 
What chairs you guys use?

What I want is a Steelcase Leap, but too expensive.

Looking in the 500-600 range.

lol, i think i paid 600 rmb for mine...about 100 AUD:). Be careful and shop around, most chairs are made in China and the good quality ones have allot of margin on them, the cheap quality ones aren't worth owning. Try to catch a sale.

Yes, Office Works chairs are the pits! I don't spend much at all on my computer set up, so I want to at least have a decent chair.

Maybe one of these chairs for $8500 http://www.inno-motion.com/en/ I can't even figure out what I'm looking at there. I'd have to call the company and ask how to sit on it.

Spend the money on some good screens and a decent processor...then buy an exercise ball to sit on an strengthen your core...:2twocents

Aeron... ~$1200 for a real one, less than 50% for a replica.

I've had one for 3 years and my butt literally said NO to be the other day when I tried to sit on something else.
 
Hi guys, I'm thinking of primarily using a laptop as a trading computer. I'm currently using a Dell Inspiron 5420 with an i5 processor, a whopping 1TB of hard disk space, 8GB of RAM, and a generation 6-something geForce graphics card. I doubt it will have any trouble with any software in particular so could I please have a little help getting started? I'm kind of new to trading and I would appreciate some pointers and even the best software if you can spare some advice. Thanks.:D

What are you planning on trading? Intraday or EOD?

Using Dell Vostro's here with similar specs to your laptop and don't have any issues with any trading software I run so your latop should be fine. As CanOz asked, what are you looking to trade?
 
I'm wondering if your laptop provide output for external 2650x1650 (30'')
Thks.

The Graphics card is a Nvidia GeForce 310M and the max resolution supported is 2560x1600.
The USB display adapters I use support up to 1920x1080.

I currently run 1x22 inch monitor via the HDMI port and another 4x23 inch monitors via the USB display adapters (connected through a powered USB hub).

Both the laptops and display adapters are a few years old, newer ones would probably support a 30" monitor, best to check the specs before you buy.

Thanks for the info.

I have 2 dell monitors 30''

3007WFP port Dual link DVI-D
3008WFP port Display port

For the 3008wfp there is ubs a 3.0 to display port (2560X1600) around $140
but for the 3007wfp I am still looking for the right adaptor.
 
Do you guys run widescreen, ultra wide screen or 4:3 square monitors? I have a widescreen and i prefer 2 smaller squarish monitors...maybe i am setup wrong.
