Trading screen is Cybertrader: 3 MM boxes, Print Alerts, Quote Alerts, MM Alerts, High/Low, 3 charts (90 day, Intraday, Futures), News (coming soon), Cross/Locked Ticker, you get the drill. Takes a full screen. Second screen is hooked up to a second computer with an independent redundant feed from PC Quote: on that screen is Futures Candlestick, Indexes, a listing of stocks sorted by spread, a list of stocks sorted by volume, and Dow Jones News... Mail, Web, FTP, and all that network garbage I run minimized on trading station. Don't try that at home, you could have just bought yourself 1,000 shares of DGSHT. Since I have two independent quote providers, PC Quote and Cybertrader, I can tell if one is behind and stop trading, even if I don't know which one is lagging. I also run both in 1600x1200, so there is a heck of a lot of screen real estate...I don't have a desk that will support 21" 4 monitors. Someday I'll get a Frame to Cybertrader, and I won't need to worry about potential internet problems and I will be able to use the second machine for research during slow trading hours...and Grand Theft Auto...Quake II...whatever the game du jour is...also have a TV...thinking about getting a third PC to act as a Multimedia feed for Bloomberg/CNBC/RealAudio/whatever...maybe a Bloomberg terminal some day... These are both hooked up to my network; 3Com hub/router, firewall, Cat 5 100mb Ethernet, NT, and a printer, and my wife's computer, and soon, the sprinkler system! (j-u-s-t kidding)
