Smartphone cards-reader
which can also connect cable mouse and cable keyboard (USB2.0 connection only) but when doing charting with desktop-style www site on Android smartphone, TradingV*** : not all functions working but Netdani* is working fine on charting (draw lines) when normal browsing (not apps).
When connects to cable mouse, showing a cursor. Internet browsers "Firefox" & "Chrome" are used.

I do not have USB-to-HDMI cable to try (if having a smart TV, will just do wireless projection to proceed normal internet browsing with cable mouse).
If smartphone with this reader USB-connection to notebook computer, can charge the computer but not reversal.

when using smartphone card-reader on android phone,
do not use the memory hardware (e.g. USB flash drive, ..... etc.) which is used to be recording TV programme by LED-TV's USB directly,
the whole TV-recording directory is lost and renamed as "LOST.DIR" without files inside.

Sometimes it does feel that way, especially after I’ve incurred several losses one after the other.

When I look at some of the fancy workstation setup, sometimes I wonder if they are real or for show. I mean when you have ten thousand PC's, laptops all stacked on top of each other, displaying ten thousand charts, news streams, order-entry screens, videos..., HOW do you keep track of them all? Trading takes a split-second decision, HOW are you going to look at ten thousand screens to analyze them all and make trading decisions in a split second?? Plus many of the trading workstations have even gaming joysticks set up there. Trading takes a LOT of concentration. HOW can you concentrate on your trading when you are gaming at the same time? After all, trading is a BUSINESS. Do you see any of those brokerage houses have games and joysticks as part of the workstation setup for their traders?

For me, my trade workstation is very simple. ONE PC, ONE monitor, ONE keyboard, ONE mouse and that's it. All my charts and trading softwares are on this ONE PC, ONE monitor where I can jump from one screen to another by a click of a mouse or Alt-Tab. I tried dual screen at one point of my trading and I find it still takes me too long of time going from one screen to another for me to make fast decisions.

Forexia, it's no different than cars. Some drive 10 year old Toyota's (regardless of how much money they have or haven't) because they view a car as a tool to get from A-B. Others if they can afford them buy cars costing a fortune but they don't help the driver get any faster from A-B.

Some like their tech, like all the screens and other add-ons whereas others like you don't. Both are the right decisions for them.

Another point worth noting is the inability for any of us to really escape the 'marketing'. It's often so good, so persuasive, so hypnotic that depending on what you like (clothes, cars, tech, tools etc) we can't escape! The marketers of the world have had about 100 years in which to perfect their trade and they know almost every trick in the book to try to suck us all in. Like I said, nobody can truly escape...

Wifi Display Receiver
- connect my Android OS's Smartphone to LED-TV's HDMI using wireless connection (also use for Windows10' tablet PC connection).

using MiraCast mode
the approximate 0.5 seconds delay and "jumping" mouse-pointer are not forgivable on TV's display when smartphone connecting cable-mouse with USB adaptor, (charting is an impossible task when using this),
previously the wifi router's setting is n only and auto bandwidth but now b/g/n mixed and 40 for bandwidth to make display look smoother.

when using youtube, some video can use 1080p (smooth enough) but screen and sound are not matching and sound volume lower than normal a lot.

on this web-site FF, as android os's internet browser do not have "preview-text-on-bubble" (need more clicks : not good for my fingers' health and mouse's mechanical parts' health) , which is different to windows os' browser.

SmartTV
is absolutely slow,
that means it is not for forex trader's use.
and everything inside which is just for party fun time.
(a good remote keyboard is a must for both internet and TV.)
(when surfing internet, cannot control brightness and more and more and ...... .)

(i bought this to my mother and put it on living-room last week.)

You say trading takes a split seconden decision, this is correct.
This is also why i prefer multiple screens, so i dont have to click between different tabs to analyse different time frames or correlated Instruments, it is always there right in front of me.
If 1 screen works for you, great! But it would not work for me. Everyone has their own way of working/trading.
One PC, multiple screens is the best way for me.

Trackball mouse
i change to use trackball mouse as recently my charting-speed seems to slower to take a period more than 150% and my hand starts shaking further.
but use trackball, actually, seems to need more practice than i thought previously (actually not an easy task).
