This is the room with my Battle Station. Hope you enjoy it. I have been renovating my office over the last year and I custom built my Battle Station (trading computer) last month when everything was on sale. Previously, I had Six 23”monitors and used an ASUS Gaming Laptop. Now, I LOVE THE DELL 49” Curve Monitors !!!! Each Dell 49”Curve Monitor replaces 3 of my previous monitors and got rid of A LOT of cords. Also, NO SPACES between charts and Awesome resolution. The Lower Dell 49" Curve monitor is my main screen so I that neck and eyes are in comfortable positions. I use the Razer Obweaver for Hotkeys and Macros for speedy execution so that I don’t have to take my hand off the mouse and reduces clicks for commands.

Volume / TPO profiles and Orderflow including Bookmap are the main tools I use for trading.

Custom Build Trading Workstation
- 2 Dell 49” IPS U4919DW Curve Monitors (5120 x 1440 QHD)
- ASUS ROG STRIX X299-E Gaming Motherboard
- Intel I9-7900 Processor 10-Core
- 64GB RAM
- EVGA GeForce RTX2070 XC Ultra Gaming RGB Graphics Card, 8GB GDDR6, Dual HDB Fans
- Samsung 500GB 970EVO NVME M.2 SSD
- Thermal Take View 31 RGB ATX Case
- Thermal Take FOE AIO RINNG RGB 360
- Razer Orbweaver (for Hotkeys and Macros)
- Razer Huntsman Elite Optical Mechanical Keyboard
- Razer Firefly Hard Gaming Mouse Pad
- Sony Bluetooth Speaker for music

ASUS ROG G750JM-BSI7N24 - 17.3" - Core i7 [email protected] - 24GB RAM - 250 GB SSD (Backup Laptop, Traveling and Reference Computer).

Apple MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013), 2.4GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM (Used for Internet surfing - NO SURFING on Trading Workstation)
Amazon Echo Plus - Used for calling my Broker in emergencies (LOL !!). I just bought this and testing it out. For example, “Alexa, what is the current price of Crude Oil” and it gives me the price statistics.

Emergency Outdoor Generator for the Entire House
Firewall, Managed Switch, and Local APC Battery Backup with extended Backup Unit.

I am a Batman Fan and this is my “Bat Cave” so I bought a light that shines the “Bat Signal” on the ceiling automatically when it gets dark (smile).

I thought about getting better Graphics card, but the RTX2070 is sufficient. I use Bookmap and it is a Resource HOG so a Dedicated Graphics card is a MUST. Hope this helps.

I have been pretty obsessed with the turing cards since they came out. RTX2070 is just an incredible value.
The 2080 TI is more for the tensor cores and the best for real time ray tracing. For a trading computer it would be no difference really.

I think I am going to build an i7 6 core / RTX2070.

I know I am going to get an occulus rift too if I have a sweet VR machine.

Hey guys and ladies,

The one big difference I see between the amateur screen set ups and pro set ups are the number of charts vs ladders. Amateur set ups have far more charts, pro set ups have more of a balance. I'm about 60/40 ladders to charts, I probably should have a few more charts for 50/50, but some of my strategies don't require a chart rather simply staring at the order book. Food for thought. Good luck to everybody posting up their trading desks, some really cool set ups out there.

Machines Stations:
1. Futures (ES).
2. Equities and Options.
3. News feed and Twitter.

The focus is on station 1 or 2 never 3.

Computers exceed limits of platform. Ninja 7, TradeStation 10 and Think or Swim

desk minimal clutter note taking during trading and a few rules on index cards as a reminder. Eye-wear includes blue Technology and cleaning station for monitors and lenses. Chewing gum to help focus (its been reported that chewing gum helps brain focus on task at hand).

Easy access to modems, computer and backups.
Phone support all numbers both phone and accounts.





mobile phone ready to trade if need be.
wall clock
water
hand grip (exercise)
speakers with volume control.
2 backup power supplies.
ObusForme High Back Chair.

That looks like a Phone (dealing room) Trading Turret. How do you do that without a PBX?
