How To Set Up A Day Trading Station?

Setting up a Day Trading Station can be intimidating, particularly if you are not technologically inclined, but the truth is that it is a simple and inexpensive process. There are 5 steps to set up your Trading Station: 1- Office desk and chair: your desk must be big enough to fit your screens and laptop/desktop, you also need some extra space to be able to take notes in a piece of paper or notebook. The chair should be comfortable, a good chair provides proper lumbar and pelvic support which results in your back muscles being less stressed. 2- Gaming Computer: these computers are designed for real-time performance without the threat of overheating. To achieve the desired level of performance, it must have a solid-state drive of 256GBs or more. For a good performance while trading it also requires a lot of RAM (minimum 8GBs but 16GBs of RAM is preferred). 3- External USB monitors: these monitors are low cost and are really easy and quick to set up. They use one simple USB connection for both information and power (eliminates the messy need for multiple power sources and cords). 4- USB Hub Adapter: This will transform 1 USB connection into 4 or more. 5- Hard-Wired or WiFi: if it is true you should use Hard-Wired connection whenever possible, there is no need to be concerned with using WiFi to day trade. In addition, opening yourself to using a WiFi connection allows you to trade whenever and where ever you want.
