Your trading computer is almost as important as your education; primarily if you are scalp trading and reliant on speedy executions. Bearing in mind the the expense of trading computers when compared to the cost of a few bad trades or even the cost of a day trading course, despite your style of trading, a top notch computer is a necessity.
Trading computers are not found by simply going to your local retail store and asking for the most expensive computer they have, just like day trading courses are not found by signing up from email spammers. They have to fit a certain criteria. For starters, you need reliability. Buying a system that is full of cheap generic parts, much like what the major brand names use, is the wrong way to go. Many of these manufacturers give a good warranty but what good is a warranty when your system fails in the middles of a big trade? In addition, it must be multi-screen capable. Most traders at proprietary trading companies are equipped with four screens which means you need a SLI motherboard which will support 2 PCIex16 ports. If you are not computer savvy, you need two graphic cards slots. Each graphics card has two screen slots on the back so with two cards you can have a four screen setup. Last but not least, you need speed. This does not always have to be the most recent RAM or Graphic cards, as a lot of the cutting edge technology is very expensive and sometimes unreliable. Your average hardware is many times sufficient enough without adding extra expense and not sacrificing a lot in extra performance.
Trading Computers must maintain a balance of the above items. It is crucial that you find a firm that is constantly manufacturing trading computers for its traders because this makes sure that they don’t fall behind the latest versions and needs for traders.
As you are probably aware, online day trading education, courses are plentiful online but very few delve into the subject of where one can find a reliable trading computer or what should be included in one. If possible, choose a firm that not only offers the best in online trader education but one that also covers the education and perhaps assembly of this important tool for day trading, trading computers.
