Hello, I have a software question for those of you who trade at home for a living. I assume that most people are using a 56K modem these days, probably with dual monitors. My question is this: Given that you most likely will be connected to one of the high-end trading softwares (i.e. MB Trader, RealTick, CyberTrader, etc, etc,) for trades, level II, etc, how do you also at the same time use the Web for surfing SI, Yahoo etc. to help sniff out the next play? I am not currently a day-trader, but I often make several 'day-trades' using datek while at work. I am curious because I find SI and Yahoo valuable resources for information. If I ever decided to day-trade for real, I know I'll need to be connected to one of these level II capable trading platforms, but don't quite understand how to maintain a connection to these information resources on the web. Do you guys use two modems w/ dual lines maybe? any responses much appreciated, Thanks!
