I love my monitor. I am a software developer who just started learning to trade this past year, so this setup is perfect for me. I normally have four charts up on one windows desktop and work stuff on another, then switch back and forth as needed.
Just a foot rest, but I do have a heater down there
I need a 4th monitor for news as I currently have to toggle off my big screen to access the news which is not good. My large screen is fed by my old pc which I use for outside of trading. And the trading PC is a standalone. So just a little monitor to keep an eye on the news would be very convenient.
Well, here we go....my current setup for about the last two years:
4x 24" monitors on the right side, 2x 34" curved monitors on the left side connected to two different machines for different accounts and backup purposes.
My best investment last year was the purchase of my Herman Miller Embody chair, I never ever had any better chair.
Edit: I love a clean desk, IMO this is an important point for my trading without any distractions....

Maybe the racing setup can be configured for NinjaTrader?? Go long when you press the gas, and exit the trade with brake? Left and Right wheel can control your profit targets and stops, plus is useful to hang on when the market moves quickly!
There are some aftermarket stands that will allow it, I had mine set up portrait for a while but I will tell you that you end up craning your neck to the sky to see it all, so thats why I put them back to landscape. I mainly use 2 actively and have the third set up for several different things...One of the things I have it for is if I have many different trades on at once the third will be where I put some of the trades that need on occasion attention to make sure they are still going the way you want.
I have been through like 6 different monitor set ups and this one is my favorite, but I can understand how it can be too much for some people
