What have you got...?

[wasp]

Thought this an interesting question bought up on another thread mid way and thought it deserved more input....

What have you got and how much does it cost you?

Do you keep it simple with one screen and toggle between chart and brokers screen with the TV on bloomberg or do you have anything and everything you can imagine!? *(see first post in link!) I guess ther can be a huge range and a wealth of possible additions to the basics....

Personally I keep it simle as possible.... 3 screens (1 chart/2 broker platform/3 news, mail, T2W(!)). BT Broadband and er, thats it! The upfront equipment costs being the largest outlay, other than that, its only the broadband costs. I use free charts and the only other cost then is the spread.

Hi Chris,

out of interest, what free charts do you use? I trade with 2 screens (used to be 4!) but I think you can get overloaded with info

Hi tricks,

I use MT4 mainly as I have become so accustomed to it. I also have Netdania, Oanda, and Capital spreads charts in the background to keep tabs and in case one has a problem.
