What's your setup like?

I've been trading for awhile and wanted to know how your trading station is set up.

How many monitors?
Computer specs?
Time spent trading?
Etc.

For those who trade using EAs, what operating system are you using (Windows, Linux, etc.)?

Wow, not quite as extravagant as I thought. Anyway, I'm thinking of starting live before the month's end. Any recommendations for my setup? I do plan to trade manually and after the account doubles, split the balance to open a new account and use that to run the EA. Rinse and repeat each time.



My manual demo trading setup is

AMD Athlon 2200XP
1GB Ram
480GB HD space
DVD-DL

2 CRT screens: 19" and 17"

The screens use my MACD-based indicator (different variables), zigzag, and murrey math lines for two sets of time frames.

I have a number of used/thrown out laptops which still work but are between 2.0GHz and 700MHz Still usable based on recommended specs for metatrader, which will be running completely on Linux and have a remote desktop connection to my manual trading PC when I want to check up on the account, or tweak the code, or something.

Do you think that's enough for me to get started?

They are all generally profitable in my forward testing. Fair warning through, youneed to know how this works.
