Day Trading Monitors

Do I need more than one monitor?

No, but multiple monitors will make your day trading job a lot easier.

If you are day trading stocks using a direct access broker and level II software, you will need at least two monitors - possibly even three. When you are trading currencies, on the other hand, you might get away with just one; possibly a 19" LCD (flat screen) or greater. The reason for this is that currencies are a lot simpler to trade, since you only have a few major currencies to deal with. The software for currency day trading is also a lot simpler than that for stocks. This makes it a lot easier on the budgets of day trader that don't have too much starting capital to begin with - the ones that start day trading with a mini forex account.

My opinion is that if you can easily afford two day trading monitors, get them. I use three 19" LCD's myself (I have three at the office and three at home with the same hardware set up for redundancy). The reason why I am so in favor of LCD's over regular CRT (bulky) monitors for trading is because the LCD's are a lot easier on the eyes and emit less radiation than the CRT's. And besides, you don't want to get a sun tan from all the trading hours you'll be burning in front of your screen! For that you can come to Miami and chill out at the beach with my family and me!
