How many monitors for currency trading?

Quote from clacy:

6. Anything less than 6 and you will be unprofitable. The more monitors, the more profitable. No actual edge is needed, just more monitors and try to trade off of 2 tick charts. :D

lmao
42 seems like a good number
 
I look for a specific pattern that cannot be coded in many timeframes, including tick and volume charts, so I require a lot of monitors. Currently using two Quadro NVS 295 to control 8 LEDs.

Seven for charts, 3 charts on every LED, so 21, and one for the DOM.

Those cards control two displays right? How do you do 8 with two cards? A displayport hub? (A little off topic but just wondered).

Probably screwed up the model # of the quadros, they control 4 each.

Probably the NVS 450, those are fanless and run 4 per card.

Yep that's the one, only problem is the cards came with display port in the back, and I had no connectors, so had to order 8 of them to be able to connect the HDMI displays to the cards.

Aside from that, no complaints.
 
I'm gonna try to run a ATI 7850 and 7970, with displayport hubs on each (they are available now finally). So 12 displays off of two cards. We'll see how that goes, hope I don't fry my motherboard, lol. My power supply is 750w, so it should run them. Then two more off of usb 3.0 displaylink adapters.
