If you're interested, I trade with a 900mhz computer and 1 X 17 inch monitor. Make sure you have lots of memory...at least 256mb because charting programs and running a few browsers and stuff is a lot. If you're just starting out, there's really no need to go to multiple monitors just yet. Focus on a few things at a time first. DSL is good, I have cable...as long as it's high speed. Make sure you have a back-up like a modem for emergency to get you out if you need to and always keep your broker's phone number handy.

I use Cybertrader which is a trading platform that allows real time continuous charting and you can trade right from the screen. It has direct access and I like it a lot.

That's really all that is necessary. I handle multiple accounts and trade for a living and I do fine with what I have so for a starter it's great. Key to being a good trader is knowledge and skill, and it's not about using the best equipment out there. You can spend $15,000 on top of the line equipment, but if you have no knowledge and no skill, you're still going to lose all your money.

My best recommendation is to learn and practice a lot. Listen to those who do well and learn the techniques. Sharck can help you. I can help you. So can others. All you have to do is ask. :o)
