I think that there is no worse setup than an overwhelming one, so underwhelming should be just about right, yours looks rather nice to me!
I guess one machine is dedicated to trading and the other is everything else? But why do you use two keyboards/mice?
Thanks and yes, the machine on the right (the two screens to the very right) is for my order execution machine + order tracking. I don't use this for anything but placing orders and tracking results. The three screens ahead are for my charting and research and development efforts.
Dear Fat Tails,
You are always so kind informing us ..... Could you please estimate the cost of each set up separately ...??? And also what the Profit/Loss can be .....
@dimitri: I have not tested those setups personally, but setup No.4 is definitely the most expensive one, as it may have an unforeseeable impact on your P&L.
Myself running these hardware setup too. It's very recommended to split your charting and your trade entry device. Keep your trade entry device as clean as possible. KVM switches can cause some trouble, because the BIOS sometimes expects a plugged usb device at startup. Therefore (and for comfort reasons) you can use the MS tool "Mouse without borders". Then you can use one mouse (+ one keyboard) to control both systems. Additionally you have always the fall back using the mouse + keyboard from your trading device directly.
If my charts decide to freze on huge volume spike, i can still manage my trade
