Thanks Tums,gnome,mgookin,shyhh for raising questions and commenting on them. DisciplineTrader

Hi Mgookin, It was a test to see if it worked. But I know people using 30 inch monitor for trading (replacing multiple 19 inch monitors with one 30 inch monitor). But I think it is a personal preference,regarding resolution. But I agree 2560 by 1600 is kind of extreme resolution,have to...

Hi All Just wanted to update the thread, I had someone try the EVGA 8600gt 512 mb graphics card with two DVI ports and it is able to run two 30 inch monitors at their max resolution 2560 by 1600. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130290 DisciplineTrader

Thanks jamis359 for the specifics on power consumption. Thanks EllisWatt for the Giagabyte 8600gt details. Thanks gnome for your comments. I would try the 8600gt card, and see how it works. Even the 9600gt with two DVI ports, there was a very good deal for $60 or $70 or so in frys...

Thanks Tums for the head sup, will check the fine print to make sure it supports 2 30 inch monitors at max resolution. Also thanks for the power consumption details. DisciplineTrader

Thanks mgookin for your comments. yes, looks like newegg changed it to discontinued status, but as you say there are many that are similar. Disciplinetrader

Hi All, I am considering to setup a multi monitor system which can run right now two 30 inch monitors (2560 by 1600 resolution) and upto four 30 inch monitors in future if need be. I am a little familiar with graphics cards options, but not an expert though and appreciate your comments...

Thanks cosmic and bigb for the reply. I appreciate it. Do you know how fast the TT datafeed and the fills for X-trader is, when compared to Ninja/zenfire? Cosmic,when you say the TT feed (which comes with X-trader) can be integrated into Ninja multibroker, you mean one also has an option...

Hi All, I am looking for a reliable futures trade execution platform. I have charting with Ninja/zenfire. But I am considering to separate "trade execution" from charting. Been considering X-trader with velocityfutures for ES/NQ. Heard velocity has a commission structure which waives...
