Need desk for 6 monitors plus stand

[Frederick Foresight]

I have 6 x 1080P monitors and 2 laptops with client accounts. My backup computer has 1 40" 4k monitor looking for another 4k monitor, equivalent to 8 x 1080P. I like looking at all my main charts without flipping screens.

Interesting. How many markets do you follow, and what are the principal time frames of your charts?

I had a client that had 12. He traded options on SPX and left 60 order tickets set up and played them like a video game.

Could you please elaborate a bit on what you mean by "played them like a video game"?

Just stock and options. Charts are mostly on the 3 minute chart but that varies when placing a trade. I have about 20 charts up at once. Multiple screens keeps everything visual and convenient.

16 GB of Ram can handle 6. No problem.

overload as information overload.

if its not a secret why would one need 6 monitors?

I have found that the number of monitors in use by a trader is in inverse proportion to the amount of time a person has been trading.

It's convenient to have everything up front, never have to hunt around. Just 1 click all the indicators, charts 1,3,5 min, option chain, detail quote, news, market depth, and order, change to the symbol immediately. I have major index charts up all the time. Some may call it info overload, maybe they don't know what to do with the data or they're just slow.
It's also relative to the seriousness of the trader. When you're trading multiple 6+ figure accounts a laptop may not cut it. Each to their own.

Multiple monitors actually make less load because one can see all the charts without clicking.

You can not make money with just 6 monitors. I have 24 monitors, and I am barely break-even. 48 monitors is the absolute minimum to compete.

Ballpark, how many trades do you take on a typical day?
