Re: Should I buy a new computer for Trading?
Depends on what kind of software you pplan on running, most charting programs are CPU light but Memory intensive

Re: Should I buy a new computer for Trading?
probably something like 2gb, 4gb ddr3 ram, no less than triple processor 2.3ghz, and decent graphics card if you're doing more than 1 monitor. when all the charts are up, it'll eat your GPU and RAM
processor will be more for calculations and tasks , so you can have multiple programs open at the same time, etc.

Re: Should I buy a new computer for Trading?
Perfect, why would you need anything more than a dual core to trade? You don't need the computer of death to run some simple programs, what you described is like a low-end gaming machine. lol

Re: Should I buy a new computer for Trading?
well, dual core are on their way out, but if you dont plan on playing a single game, then you can get away with a dual core duo 2 that is 3.0ghz, anything less is just not smart imo. really, the processor will allow for faster calculations, this could mean mere seconds compared to a minute , and could translate into losing $$$$

Re: Should I buy a new computer for Trading?
I use a Matrox Dual2Go.
You can add 2 independent monitors to a laptop, cost about 100 quid.
In all honesty, i only use it when i've taken a lady out for dinner, leave the computer on, 3 screens of charts usually impresses the hell out of em
shallow i know, i'm embarrased to be me at this point

Re: Should I buy a new computer for Trading?
I just bought the new laptop some time ago (about two months) and I still don't like trading on it. The laptop is fine, but internet connection is too slow... I'm thinking about the router in my flat so I can use WiFi, but that will be probably even worse...

Re: Should I buy a new computer for Trading?
obviously it can be a slippery slope buying new equipment but i just dont understand the mindset of krappy ttrading computers. I also want to puke when i read the words 'my laptop. Laptop=only trade EURUSD. Laptop=destined 2 FAIL.
People spend 4000chf on custom wheels for theyre range Rovers but wont spend more than 900 on their tools. over 2.5 years its only about 400 a year.
