Not sure if you saw the link in my post in your surgery thread, but treat yourself to one of these chairs.
I suspect they may do more for your back, they sure won't do much for your bank account but they are reputed to be the best seats in the house.
Hahaha, what a coincidence !

They had these at the Bank where I used to work and I had a lengthy discussion with my colleague about these chairs. Supposedly they are considered the best and they are very expensive. I've also seen the chair in the series "The Office", the US one.

of owning one of these. I used to be a bricklayer, years ago, and f***ed up 3 discs in my back, so would love a really comfortable chair to trade from. Depending on spec I think they're around $1000 +
Sigh!!!!!

SIGs, very good choice. As soon as I get my CHL it's a USP .40S&W compact for me.

As for my trading setup: Well I don't have a camera at the moment (needs batteries), but I'll try and get that posted up this weekend to join the fun.

I use a 46" LCD screen on which I can fit a whole bunch of charts at high resolution, with a supplementary 20" LCD to have webpages and other crap on, but I rarely use it.

This rocks for gaming btw

I mainly use a six inch digital BP monitor, due to trading too many slow markets when I was younger! Occasionaly I switch to the EKG monitor when things get exciting.

Quick questions,

I'm just about to pull the trigger and go out and buy another monitor. (17")

When I hook the two monitors up and I pull up my trading platform, do I have to open up two trading platforms or can I drag one chart on to one screen and another chart on to the other screen......how does this work.

In other words is it possible to have E/J on one screen and G/U on another screen.... and if so how do I do that or will it be obvious once I get the two screens hook up.

Thanks

If you have 2 display cards or 1 card with 2 outputs you can do whatever you want... windows supports it. Nvidia control panel for example will allow you to set the monitors up as independently configured which means it's like 2 desktops or as one horizontal (or vertical) desktop...My setup is set as 2 independently configured monitors, which means i open 1 copy of MT4 and just drag whatever i want from the primary desktop to the secondary.. easy. Also the difference of price between a 19" and 17" adequate for charts isn't so much.. you don't need some crazy good monitor for charting

of course depends on software... MT4 can't (at least it couldn't last time I used MT4). Oanda can. FX Accucharts I think can, but i haven't really tried it.

No need to buy a monitor to test it, you can figure it out with one monitor. As long as there is some way to detach windows or duplicate charts into another Window then you can simply drag this window to the other screen.

You could fudge it with something like MT4 by expanding the program across 2 screens, but who wants to do that? I guess if you really really had to do it, that's an option.

I have no problem dragging a floating chart window to another monitor and maximizing it.
I thought I knew Met4 inside out.

How do you do that then ?
