I've been considering doing a very similar setup - possibly with curved monitors - what kind of stand(s) did you decide on?

Anyone can share your experience on this ? What advantages ? How can we use multiple monitors for trading ? Thanks.

They don't need constant eye balling, but they need to run and put them on my desktop that spans over 6 monitors. Once you get used to that, it's difficult to work on a smaller space.

For this case ,If we are travelling then we may face some problems when trading on a smaller screen e.g. laptop.

I don’t have any knowledge of computers and the configurations which are needed for buying/building a good “trading machine”. Could you share your specified configuration with us and the rough budget (without the price of the screens)? I am thinking of buying a new computer.

Thank you very much in advance.

This is my last trading server i have built :

It has an Intel 10 core cpu, 1TB SSD, 2X4TB normal, 2X GTX 1070 and 128GB ram
prices have probably dropped since then
