    Default I think I need another computer or two

    But i dont want to spend the money! I do have two old dells from the 90's with windows 98 on them, but i doubt it will run MT4 with multiple charts... i really could use some extra computers to seperate my different signal reviews efforts, forex killer on one demo account, manual trading on one computer, one testing out Don Steinitz' robot trader alone on another BIG account, and other signals I pay for on a different account... because its unrealistic to create a million dollar account just to have enough margin to have 10+ trades open at once, especially with the robot trader which is an account killer if you dont have a huge deposit.

    Sorry I just needed to vent... u can make donations if you wish

    I need two systems to handle other things other than trading, so less distractions.

    You may consider getting a VPS where for $35 a month you can run about 5 MT4 platforms. Fast, reliable and secure.

    haha you don't need to trick out your system to trade forex with water cooling and all that junk. Memory is important, so factoring that into building your machine and working around that. And of course figuring how you will make those multiple monitors work right.

    Yea that falcon trading computor is my dream machine, I have two HP Pavilions Elites. I bought them before I knew about the Falcons. With my HP's I could only run two monitors on each computer so I had to add more video cards, it was a pain because there were no room for them internal so I had to put them external. I would have spent less money on the Falcon and then you can run up to 12 monitors. Now that is a ticked out system!

    I thing you need and must have a brand new Comp with a better spec if you want to be a serious Forex Traders. If you want the affordable price, the Intel Atom Laptop's; its the best for your pockets. I suggest you choose ASUS, or Toshiba.

    Yeah VPS is really a way out. At specially if you work with robots. And this is safer than having trading system on your own PC.

    I thing you still need a Laptops too for enter the VPS, you cannot just rent a VPS and open it at the public computers.

    Another alternative its a Windows 8 tablets such Acer W510; its very nice and affordable.

    One computer is enough. you just need to to upgrade the OS to be able the MT4 to run with multiple charts.
