i never said like on an old tube tv, you did. Try true video 4k test on full screen 40"+ and see lines refresh one at a time. make sure your resolution on computer is set 3840x2160 and give it another go.
Why buy computer monitors? Why not just buy a flat screen TV? Much cheaper

i never said flicker like on an old tube tv, you did. I didn't know flicker is defined only for tube tv. Try true video 4k test on full screen 40"+ and see lines refresh one at a time. make sure your resolution on computer is set 3840x2160 and give it another go. Are you using seiki u-vision cable, if not make sure you're really getting 4k, that 4x 1080P screens. BTW what graphics card are you using?

I agree, Simple is best.
You only need one monitor for trading...trading is not a science or an engineering rocket monitoring spaceship thing.
You just need one basic, small screen to place an order and monitor the position.
Alot of people make trading out to be so much more complicated or technical than the process really is.
Trading Places is a great trading movie, in my opinion. -- they demonstrate the process out simply and understandably. Based on human emotions and wants/desires and common sense.
Alot of other trading movies make their job seem so smart and stuffy.

While I have one monitor now, most of my trading life I've had two. One is clearly not enough. I don't monitor just one position at a time. I'd have an algo execution view, executions, maybe a chart or two, API console, TWS orders page - how to you easily fit all that onto one screen? If it's 40" inches then sure but not when the screen is below 30".
Great trading movieI just place one big order during the day, or two...I play both sides
So for me, I have very basic tech needs;
The ending of the movie Trading Places kind of sums up my trading style.
Other than leaving out the part about OJ having what, a $0.15 daily limit? Guess it wouldn't make for much of a movie if the price changed 15 cents and everybody called it quits for the day and went home.
Otherwise, agree about it being a good trading movie.
