Er...

You guys ever heard that Seinfeld routine when he talks about the kind of guy who just doesn't get irony or sarcasm? You know the kind of guy, you're in the gym, you've had a great workout, and you say something like "Man, I feel awesome. I bet I could take on Superman right now." And this guy looks at you like you're an idiot and sneers: "Oh, please. Superman would kick your ass." You know that kind of guy?

Actually, I find that I'd like to have more monitors so I can have bigger fonts.

I wouldn't mind a monitor for each ladder .... and maybe some gizmo that switches my keyboard automatically to the monitor/computer I am looking at.

I find myself frustrated at the tiny fonts on most GUIs. (Where the hell is that Close All Positions on Market button?)

Quote from NihabaAshi:

I don't understand these recent threads (there's others) about the number of monitors a trader can or should use.

What's the difference between watching 7 different charts on ONE monitor in comparison to watching SEVEN monitors with each having a ONE different chart ???

If there really is no difference...

It should be obvious the issue has nothing to do with the number of monitors...

It has everything to do with the amount of information one is trying to process at a given time.

I agree with this 100% - the number of monitors isnt the issue, its how you use them. Unfortunately I think it got lost in the pissing match.
