Quote from Picaso:

Fewer steps? If you mean as opposed to normal entry in a platform where you select an instrument, then a type of order, then a price, then add bracket orders, etc., indeed, but I would say most people here (at least those trading futures) trade out of a DOM, BookTrader, call it what you want where you're only one click away from a trade, so in that regard, no, I don't think it leads to overtrading.

I have found that, considering that most people end up introducing orders at the limit/ask +/- a tick or two, it leads to fewer entry errors.

Still, if you're good, you're going to be good with most entry systems and viceversa.

Good trading to you.

outstanding answer, and really, the only way to have answered that correctly.

Trading Technologies "dome", being one of the first to present electronic emini trading to the masses, has been licensed under lease to most of the retail applications out there presently.

for the other software vendors not under restriction, imposition of their patent or otherwise, then level II type interfaces does lead one to take pause of the market conditions and not be so hasty as to jump to the front of the list and attempt to execute their trade (i.e. market order).

instead they use Bid/Ask or +/- ticks away order types.

those hyper fast keyboards customized for specialists, that you can observe on any replay of NYSE floor conditions / traders really aren't suited for Emini trading scenarios, presuming one has already loaded the desired conttract up and is pouncing in on moves by market-end / market-out method

thanks for the thoughtful answer

good trading to you! too!

This is unusual of me to post something like this in public but this seems tempting.

I think it's a fan.

yes it is a fan to help keep the screens cooled from all the heat that comes off from the screens and all the other computers around.

Quote from WinstonTJ:

moving offices in a few days so things are a mess. the 6th monitor (bottom right) of the main display isn't usually there - we shut down the cable so I'm using that to watch Bloomberg TV. trying to clean up and consolidate crap and realizing I have A LOT of crap. Both setups are mine, thinking about taking the dual monitors back home, not sure if the wife would be happy with more crap at home though. I am converting to racks but taking a picture of a mostly empty rack is pointless. There are 3 more of those big Dells on the other side of the desk - hopefully they will be in the trash (converted to racks) before the move. Please excuse the crappy cell phone picture. Incase someone questions me, yes that is your external HDD and I'm still working on the project. I'll get it to you ASAP.

EDIT: as an asside. I have one Dell T3400 dual Xeon CPU box that runs the 5 monitors to the right. (bottom right is seperate and just for move TV watching) I use that 5-mon setup to remote desktop/VNC into other machines - it is absolutely not possible to run a crazy 8-10 monitor setup and try to run all those processes on one box. It is so much cheaper to buy an individual box to do each task and seperate things out.

Nice setup.


You need to convert to racks ASAP. Probably won't have that much space for long.


Is that a coors light tall boy?

How does one go about converting from a series of individual pc's like in the referenced pic to a 'rackmount' type of setup?
What are some of the 'important' decisions?
