How many Monitors are you using?

[Korattt]

I’ve four, just wondered how many others have?

Two (laptop and vertical monitor) is enough for me.

Be interesting to see if the full timers use less or more

Two laptops a an additional monitor connected to one of them plus a tablet - I'd like to upgrade to a 4X4 monitor when I've got time to look around.

I don't think it is the tools that counts,more to do with the guy who is using them,

Trading is such a simple notion that most people can grasp the mechanics and with percentages being so tight it's very easy to believe you've almost cracked it and there's just a small piece of the jigsaw missing between you and the winners. People always want shortcuts to success and if they're led to believe having the most monitors, VPS , best software, most ebooks, more data/rules in their strategy etc will get them there quicker they'll buy into it.

true but I would need at least three, to be honest I’m a little disappointed there wasn’t more votes

Tend to agree with the previous poster,thats its more to do with the ability and mindset of the person trading rather than his equipment etc.

Has having 4 screens made you a better and more profitable trader,or did you feel you had to have them to make you "feel" like a trader? Have you recouped any of the outlay on them? couldnt you do equally as well with one screen? why do you need three?

Didnt you once say youd rented office space for trading? did that improve your profitability? You still seem to be having a bit of a roller coaster ride from your posts.

There are so many that desperately want to succeed,and getting all the "trappings" that a trader is percieved to have (multiple screens,office,even contributing pearls of wisdom to this forum etc ),often deludes them into thinking they are successful etc.

Keep it simple and enjoy !!
