Pictures of your trading stations

My setup is not impressive but it is all I really need. I only trade ES futures. I may upgrade to 2-24" monitors or 2-22" and one 19" I am adding etf's and some active stocks.

Right now I have 1 22" and 1 19", I also like to keep it simple.

i don't see any squiggly lines on those charts :. How can you trade??

I use the two previously mentioned. I use S/R and a rather loose definition of VSA. If by "squiggly lines" you mean S/R, some indicator or a trend line. I use the two previously mentioned.

When I took the picture I had just downloaded Market Delta for NT and was messing with it. The other 2 are for show sake.

Of course, if you are trading some would argue your not on vacation to begin with!

We have 3 traders and each runs a similar setup - Dell dual quad-core workstation driving 6-8 19" square monitors:

Is it just me or does anyone get put off by monitors that don't match? I've found that it really distracts me when I have monitors that are multiple sizes/models unless they're organized REALLY well (like cinemassive).

Doesn't bother me as long as they are all black and no fancy logos... except a little dell logo...

Although I have one white LCD screen that i received as a gift from an ex when they first came out... I'ts ugly so I keep the things I use the least on it.... Usually pair trades that last weeks to months...plus I keep it on the side, away from me.....lol

Nice setup. But I have to ask, is that the layout you use while trading? If so, I also have to ask, do you really need 5 monitors for 5 charts?

Just curious.

Actually that setup is a couple of years old and has been upgraded to drive 8 monitors.

ONE consideration of how many need to be "UP" all the time is the time frame under consideration. In the very fast time frames they all have to be up or signals are missed. At least 2 of the charts are for volume bars that equate to less than 20 seconds per bar.
