There needs to be beach resorts or clubs for traders. All rooms with trading desks and monitor racks and laptop docking bays hooked up close to windows or on balconies facing the sunset oceansides

Anyone have experience with Satillite Internet, like reliability when wanting to trade when on the road? (like in my RV in the mountains?)

Seen some sat recievers for TV, and 6 mps for internet, but I reason this is outmoded. The only other alternative is linking with a DSL or Cable at a campground hard wired...would prefer the independent route tho.

Maybe someone has addressed this on the forum under a thread with which I am unfamiliar?

I think that using a satellite would result in a long lag time from when you click the mouse to when order is executed.

There are numerous threads on this subject, but this is not needed. Geostationary satellites are floating at a distance of 36,000 km. This means that the absolute minimum distance the signal has to travel for a round trip (data feed from exchange to your PC then order execution back to exchange) is 4 x 36,000 km or 144,000 km. The speed of light being something like 300,000 km/sec, this distance will introduce a lag of 500 milliseconds (half a second).

This will have a negative impact on your fills.

There is another thread about this too, but I can't find it at the moment.

Here is a pic of my desk.

Hardware lust: trading PC with 6-monitors Cheers DJ, nice setup. I haven't had a chance to make my six monitor setup "pretty", but here is a raw shot. I've just built a new i7-2600k: - i7 2600k overclocked to 5.0ghz - corsair h100 - 32gb ddr3-2400 - 2x256gb crucial …

Of course... Thanks for this.

How about wireless data link? Its not like a hardwire DSL or Cable modem, but how about speeds there?

I supsect drop service could be a problem.

I plan to take an extended road trip next summer...at least, thats the plan. I can keep in touch with my office from the road, as my RV will have a desk and computer. To work while the wife and daughter and her friend are at the beach. Might wheel back up north for a week mid summer, then head off to the other coast. take in some fetivals as well as AOPA in Oshcosh...

Want to set up a mobile office...

just curious, do you use one of those heavy metal mounting braces for the six monitors?

I bought a three 24" monitor mounting brace, and its so heavy, that it itself would tip the desk over, not counting mounting the monitors on it. So the problem becomes, what to rest / place the monitors upon (fortified desk), instead of most of these assemble yourself, so called, computer desks.

did you have same or similar problem?

Of course... Thanks for this.

For Gawd's sake man .... spend time with your daughter while you can ...

An old preacher once told me, "TMFT ... I've been a minister for over 50 years. Many a time I was called out in the middle of the night ....to minister to a parishioner on his death bed .... and you know ... in all those years ... not once ... did he pull me close to hear him gasp with his dying breath ... " Preacher ... I just wish I had spent more time with my job...."
