Quote from optionpro007:

I think windows lets you run up to 28 screens in one computer. I am not a computer wizard, but I think this is what I heard.

I run three computers. Only because of charting software issues.

Just a question...
Would someone give an example for a good use of 10 monitors or 5 for that matter?
You would think in all that clutter it would be harder to focus even if you have the ability to look at multiple positions/charts and such...
Would it be better to have no more than a max of 2-3 monitors right in front of your eyes and just click back and forth as necessary???
I only use 2, but did think of getting a few more. Just have not figure out what the reason for that would be :)
 
Don't get anymore.

If your setup works for your style of trading you don't need anymore, actually it would only confuse you.

Cheers !

[...]
is there a limit to how many monitors can run on 1 computer

you know, like only so many appliances can run on a 20 amp breaker and only so many hig hats can run on a 15 amp breaker before you overload it

is there a formula for how many monitors can be put on a computer and what are you looking for in the specs to find out

thanks

Your breaker limits are a function of power running through the lines and how much they draw on that fuse. In the case of monitors, each one is running on its own power supply, so there is no problem there.

The limitation, however, is in the WinXP monitor applet. It can only control 10 before you have to beef up with 3rd party software. I have done a 16 monitor setup and had to get that software to control and configure them. WinXP itself doesn't have a problem, but the application that controls them will. I was able to run 16 using UltraMon for someone I know. Here's the website for that software:

The other considerations are your system's power supply and its cooling ability (you need a well designed computer case for this).

I hope that helps.
 
thanks

here's another shot of the quote screen.

notice the spreads got even tighter, with EUR/USD @ 1.5 wide in normal volume.

normally this will register 1-wide when you execute a trade. the tightest spread in the market.
