Frequently Asked Questions - System Requirements

The best configuration to take advantage of our Trading Desk live trading sessions would be to have either:

 

1) A dedicated computer or laptop where our Trading Desk session runs by itself freeing users to use another system to trade.

2) A large format (22" or greater), multi-screen environment where users can run our Trading Desk session on a dedicated screen while running their trading software on another.

 

It is NOT recommended to have a singe screen to both monitor the Trading Desk session and to trade. A single screen environment makes it difficult to pay attention to both the Trading Session and your trading account. The market action can move VERY quickly and Rob's recommendations can change very quickly. Maintaining an environment where users can monitor both is essential.
