Trading with a netbook?

Is it be possible to install software on it?

If it is then could be possible.

I need a laptop to make speed changing from software to software during a trading day.

Best of luck.

Though nothing to do with it. :cool:

That's basically my question.

Theoretically one may be able to load software, but I am wondering if anyone has been able to actually trade without problems.
 
I've traded with IB/TWS and remote desktop on a netbook many times. Works well, but is not perfect.

TWS has a few dialogs that a bigger than the screen, so you better know your keyboard shortcuts.

Son, it's a simple question.

If you don't know, or don't care, don't answer.

Please, keep the smartass counterquestions to yourself. :)

Thanks. That's basically what I thought/feared.

I did some automated trading on a net book. In particular, on an Acer Aspire One while I was away from my regular trading turret. It worked okay, with my trading system netting a profit.

Concerning dialogs that extend off the screen, get a copy of a shareware program called ShoveIt. It shoves the dialog onto the screen, so that you can click yes/no or whatever is necessary to close the dialog pop-up.
