ideal monitor setup

I don't have squak box...I use e mini charts as a leading indicator...I tried squak and found it to be distracting (some traders love it though). I'm not sure what you're asking about with your reference to "chatroom"?
 
Not totally without a phone line or some variance of 2 way satelite.....but really not my point ithis post.

Hi all!

I am sure this question was asked before but I just couldn't find the thread.

I am new to day trading and I was wonderring what is the ideal monitor setup for a day trader. More specifically I would like to know how many monitors should be used, and what should each monitor be showing while trading to help maximize efficiency.

I plan to be very active in day trading, and I trade nazdaq, nyse and options.

Thanks for helping me out and good luck to all of you.

It depends on your style of trading. If you're scalping without charts, using 3 level 2 montages and a ticker, a 15" LCD will work for some.

I swing trade so I use 2 19" LCD monitors with a dual video card. One has the market and sector information and the other has 3 charts (for stocks) and 2 level 2 montages.

Hope this helps!
