Strange thread. You don't need any specific computer in order to trade profitably, not even 2 screens. You just need a good edge, discipline, and good nerves. And these 3 things, you cannot buy them on Amazon for 1000 bucks. You need to work hard to get them yourself.
Don't give up on your dreams. Keep sleeping.

If one has only a hammer as a tool, then everything looks like a nail I can think about many strategies with an edge that might require large viewing space...

simply buy a tablet pc and a cheap 32" 1080p tv.
a normal tablet pc has touchscreen and gps and can go outdoor with you.
it can do screen-projection on tv for 2 screens : both tablet pc's screen and tv.

of course tablet pc is not so fast on speed.

(i don't know what is your pc's OS, but current tablet pc is windows10 anyway.)

i have a 'tablet pc'.
it is a practical alternative to a power bank, as long as it is kept charged.

but beyond being a backup, it is in every other aspect inferior to a PC when it comes to trading.
(but then again, i rarely go outdoor during trading, and most certainly never had a use for a GPS function during trading neither)
there is always, always another trade!!

Yeah.. like you have an insight into every speculator's hardware setup and method and you can confidently say that people using any other methods and hardware than yours HAS to be loosing money. Definitely ones that have a lot of monitors. OR maybe you are arrogant, self-orientated and proud guy, who see everyone else as inferior. Which one is more likely?

At the of day it is not about you, there are many way to skin a cat.

And 60'' 4k TV one can buy for cost of couple good dinners. Big deal

[edit] Like her. According to your theory, she HAS to loose a lot of money in her career, because she has a lot of monitors... right???

Chill out manI don't have theories. You misinterpreted my post and started insulting on me... And who among us is arrogant now?
I don't know about people you listed and I don't care about them, cause, unlike you said, IT IS about ME and not them.

Hard to admit being proud, so it is better to attack in defense?

Here are your words:

"Funny newbies think that high cost PC and 32+screens will make them traders...

What this thread is doing here?did I miss the point where FF is PC Factory now?"

Which simply implies that wanna-be-trades, green-horns, snow-lakes, millennias, use 32+ screen yet cannot make any money. More over this forum supposed to be loosing quality because somebody did unthinkable by your standards - use multi monitors for trading. All, because you have mindset that you must project on everybody else.

Yet, I showed you clearly, people with many many monitors and even more tools in front of them that make more money in their career than you can dream off.

So, think about that, say "I am sorry" and lift level of this forum you are so concern about. Perhaps by hinting your so reliable, money-making method that require 5 inches mobile phone screen. Surely many here are listening right now!

agreed.
after the sweet period of after-bought, no differences.
laptop/tablet pc can be carried to kitchen when go to make coffee/lunch or carried to toilet : without gaps within the trading period.

Haha..You still miss the point... .what's the matter? Are you angry that someone making money with little smartphone screen?
Does profitable trader need 32+ screens to still be profitable?No.
Will 32+ screens make newbie with no basic knowledge profitable? I doubt it will.
And you didn't "showed me clearly" nothing about those traders real performance,even if they make more money than me... so what?I don't care, that's those traders money not mine and I care about MY trading and MY money.
Stop counting others people money.Get a life.

in reality a very fast computer does nothing more then let you backtest faster, work more fluid (against much older cpu or less ram or hdd) and can have much more programms and information open same time with good speed.

multimonitor will help to see more things on more space more easy, thats all. if you do no intradaytrading or programming its often useless to have more then 2 diplays, often even 1 ok, and even for normal programming 2 are very good to use.

older computer with 1 monitor will also do all this job, only slower because of cpu, ram, ssd... differences and its not so fast so see any information same time because of display differences (thatswhy also slower). you need to calculate whats you worth to have this little time saved (or how much time you save reallym maybe its much when you really need mana many informations same time displayed) and will it change anything for you.

so better computer or better multimonior solution are for heavy traders, who earn money with this, so they invest little of their wins to make win more easy or more fluid. but never invest much money for trading computer if you dont have consistent wins for a longer time, and high enough, that a new computer for trading can compensate it many many times.

investing time in learning how to trade and learn all basics step by step, thats most important.

Where do you see anybody advising 32+ screen? Exaggeration is a form of bulling, psychological way of belittling people. Do you enjoy that?

If trading from mobile phone make you happy, great for you. Stick with it. I will take your money.

Perhaps you do not understand somebody approach? Perhaps your imagination limits you how hardware can be use in speculation? Unfortunately you cannot find it in books or forum like this.

And this man talking about "belittling" over people for different mindset and approach... Again- HILARIOUS.
