I got one built using parts that I chose myself. I am in China so the assembly was cheap - only about 10 quid for the guy to put it together (very simple actually as everything slots or clips into place). I used fairly decent components including 2 nvidea NVS450 graphics cards. These will allow...

That's very nice. At the moment I've only got the usual phone line connection which gives a speed around 100-300 KB/s - according to eSignal suitable only for moderate use. I think this will be the weak link (apart from me obviously!). Thanks, Angus

Hi Coop, I agree pretty much. But nonetheless I think there are advantages to having a large screen area. My trading strategy will be to look for for about 12 basic set-ups (same as Mr Charts - not coincidently!) so assuming I have a sufficiently good memory to recognize these when they occur...

Thanks for the offer but I am in China and I think it'll be easier to go with a Dell! But if I may pick your brains briefly. What sort of chip and RAM do I need for a good system capable of putting up 30 charts or so, with another 30 stocks getting updated in a quote window (i.e. just a list...

Hi Coop, I too am just starting out. You'll realise this when I tell you that last week I put a daily high/low on all stocks in my watchlist - before open! (I pity the fool who does this lol). I agree with everything you say. I like the idea of multiple scanners onscreen updating dynamically...

I've been wondering about the best ways to spot these types of set-ups. They are not uncommon but the trick of course is to find them before the event. So far I've been using a single screen notebook and the limitations are becoming very obvious. I've got a couple of ideas though: 1) get a 4...

Richard, Good trade. Volume seems fairly small before point of entry. Was there level 2 confirmation of a build up of selling pressure when you pulled the trigger? Thanks, Angus

Hi MrCharts, Interesting post - nice to know that our day trading skills are transferable. I'm currently getting to grips with US markets (following your methods!) and will be doing that full time from early next year. But in my case the US open starts at 10-30pm (after the clocks change next...

Hi Richard, What criteria did you give your scanner to find the CTRP setup? Thanks, Angus
