I've also been using Cybertrader Pro for a couple of years now, very solid, and since I tend to trade larger blocks very price competitive as you say. I did check out Xview's website, they have some very impressive LCD arrays, up to 16 screens! No prices though, and I have not checked with them directly. These days you can get a workstation from the likes of HPQ with a quad video card pre-installed for around 1200 bucks. Add four 17" monitors and you can be in business by plugging things in yourself for under $2500 bucks. I did that almost four years ago with a Dell workstation that came with the Matrox G200 MMS quad card, but back then with 4 17" LCDs you had to pay around 7k... Regards, John

Oz, Thanks for the info. I will definitely look into it. The free monitor deal is certainly enticing, especially for the low trading requirements. SSB

Cybertrader Question: I just clicked on a Cybertrader ad and took a short online tutorial on the Backtesting feature for use in developing and testing trading strategies. Seems very nice. But what I wanted to know was: Suppose I find a strategy that works really well. Can I now tell Cybertrader OK, go ahead and implement this strategy, i.e., automatically generate buys and sells based on the strategy that I have selected (with a manual override system, maybe, just in case) or do I then have to babysit the market setting alerts and laboriously waiting for them to be triggered whereupon I have to manually place the orders? I called Cybertrader and was told the answer is the latter. Too bad. Sam
