Sorry for the late submission, but here's my trading workstation:
I have:
1. Fibre Optics Internet connection for low latency.
2. Six 24" Dell monitors I used exclusively for trading.
3. 15" Laptop with 22" monitor I use for webinars, news, and other trading related research.
4. Desktop with Ryzen 7 2700x; 32GB of ram; 2 x GeForce 1060 graphics card to run six monitors.
5. Two APC UPS for my modem (in the basement) and for my desktop.
6. Sonos Play 5 and Play 1 for Bloomberg news in the background.
7. Herman Miller Aeron Chair.
8. Trading Library.
9. An Action Board to remind me of major economic news; upcoming webinars; long term projects; and weekly profit targets.
BTW, I've been asked about my chart background colours. It's a propriety indicator I created back in 2018 (that I'm not ready to share just yet).
The colours tell me how to trade. During an uptrend: if dark green is followed by light red it means I should possibly cover my long position and I should wait for the background to turn dark green again before re-entering a long position. If instead, it turns from light red to dark red, I need to definitely exit my long position and possibly go short. Conversely, during a downtrend the opposite if true. If dark red is followed by light green, it's a warning to cover shorts. If the background turns dark red again, the short trade is back on, however, if it's followed by a dark green, it tells me to immediately cover my short and enter into a long position.
In short, greed bars with a green background = long. Red bars with a red background = short. If bar and background colours are not aligned = consolidation. My goal is to ride trends (the longer, the better) and to exit/scale out of positions when trend/momentum strength is weakening! A simple system for those days when I didn't get much sleep.... I just follow colours to trade.

I have been thinking for a long time to either post on this thread or not Finally I beefed up my courage and have now decided to only register my participation and nothing more than that
I am a Pre-Beginner, and as of now learning about Futures(especially about Price Ladder, Volume Profile, Footprint, etc.). In around 2 weeks time, I will do some replay practices and then will do my first trade in Futures
