My laptop is a little over a year or so old. Natively it will support 3, 2x mini DP and 1x HDMI. I have a Kingston docking station/pluggable docking station that will support 2 monitors. So with the docking station it will support 3+2=5. The docking station uses USB 3.0 to connect. The brick powers the computer, the docking station is powered separately.
My laptop is made by Sager. It's a Clevo shell. Essentially, it is a “Falcon Trading system” without the Falcon markup. I am guessing Falcon is a reseller of Sager, or they get the Clevo shells from the manufacturer.
I’ve done a ton of research.
Depending where you live, these places are good to purchase from. I actually, bought through Xotic PC to withhold sales tax from Kalifornia.
In terms of speed, it is fast, just like a desktop. I don't have any trouble. I have two of these systems, one my wife uses and the other I use.
The laptop has an actual desktop processor. I don’t like regular laptops, they are horrible in terms of speed, even with 32gb of ram.
The down side with this system is it eats up power within 1.5-2 hours, so you’ll need to bring the brick, and it weighs a little more than a regular laptop.
I go back and forth to the office, so it is a good fit for my needs. I would recommend to my Grandma.
8+1 monitors hooked up on two i6-5300 laptops
+ 1 laptop producing a chart collection (shown on the very left 2 monitors) updated all 15 min - 24/5
What I am trying to do is constantly monitor 24 instruments (21 FX pairs resulting from crossing 7 majors + USDMXN + CL + DAX) on M4 and M1 (4 monitors in the middle) + on the very left on various timeframes and layouts produced by a proprietary chartbook solution into an excel file for fast referencing higher Timeframes - mostly showing the M15, but I can switch it up to H1, H4, D1, W1 or even monthly charts with one click...
goal: spot high
probability momentum trades within M4 and M1 Timeframes supported by the bigger picture and to get the "pairing" right - based on Currency-Index-Charts to find a "leading" currency and a suitable cross (shown on the 2 monitors on the right side)
maybe some day I will be able to "see" everything by just reading values from a table - and then trade from the beach
until then greetz from Vienna/AT @ 35 degree Celsius
I work a full-time job and most of the days I am in the office. I remote into my home PC since office firewalls do not allow running the software on my office laptop. I use RoyalTS to Remote Desktop and use 2 of my 3 21' Inch monitors.
2 main monitors for Trading.
This is the calendar at my desk. I keep a track of main things such as workout (CheckMark), Meditation (M) and number of ticks I made. Those numbers are not english version.
Finally, Meet my friend. who is still and calm. He also helps me to calm.
