It's great if I've spent too long at the desk and need to stretch my legs but can't nip out for a walk with the dog. I like to stand up when using the phone and recording videos, so I use it for that too. I got the desk with CPU cradle here. : Desking : Ergonomic Height Adjustable Workstations and Desks.

I need to do something with the wires in my office, but just can't be bothered.
@wldman, I found this article by Lance Beggs helpful in thinking about screen set up. He references his past as a miltary helicopter pilot and the habit of selective radial scan when navigating the markets. The linked article has suggestions for 1 monitor, but I thought it was an interesting way to think about setting up your screens visually.
From his website, looks like he trades off a two-monitor set up.
Thanks, @keymoo, when I ventured into this thread, I thought I might see some slick set ups, and maybe I would want to buy another monitor, but now I realize I need to build a whole nother building!
This is my desk and my trading room. As I spend a big part of the day on my trading desk I don't like to be in front of a wall, from time to time I like to give a look outside the window or go to the terrace and refresh my mind. I am lucky to have enough space to organize the room with some fitness machines so I can excercise while I watch the market. My desk is minimal as I try to keep it as simple as possible, one video for my VPS and the other one for internet, backtesting or for my discretionary trading. The sofa is for relaxing and reading. Besides the posture issue I believe a good and quiet environment helps to stimulate creativity and concentration.
Wow, I thought my office was pretty minimalist! Very nice!
