Okay so it's a mess... It's my mess... I toyed with the idea of getting everything all nice nice, but that would be a lie.
Here's my trading desk. An old Digital Tiger's build from 2009 and to the right HP cheap desktop computer I have both tucked under my trading desk. I'm truly limping the Digital Tiger's into another season, surprisingly the cheap HP works fine and I've just put a new SSD drive into it as the old platter drive was starting to make noise.
Truth is I'm thinking of going back to pencil and paper for the whole trading concept. Managed money has worked better for me lately.
This is what your desk turns into when you really can't make up your mind anymore. That said I'm finally happy with my NT7 configuration and performance, now if I could have less computer and network issues I'd be happy.
My helmet is a Greek battle helmet, not a Magneto helmet. I thought it would be appropriate for a "battlestations" thread. I got it as part of a package deal called "300". The package came with a small booklet, an indicator and the helmet. I paid way too much for it. The booklet says to buy when price is above the 300 period moving average and sell when below. Turns out, the indicator is on every charting package for free It recommends wearing the hat while trading (which you can get for 20$ on Amazon.) It works about 50% of the time At least I got a cool hat.
Had an iMac for trading but as the business got intense in couldnt handle the load so i build a custom pc with a 32" Benq monitor. My book shelf and side board, most credit for my wife who love to have everything march around the house.
Looks very neat and practical. What size are those screens?
