Trade Station layouts and configurations . . .
How many monitors and charts do you really need?
In the past I've used 10-11 monitors and 10-15 charts but I've narrowed
them both down quite a bit over the years...currently 7 monitors with 5 charts are used.

All monitors are the same diagonal sizes and are set to 1920 x 1080 resolution
but #6 is rotated 90º with a lower resolution...


I use monitor 6 as my main trading screen.


I like viewing two of the same (or similar) tick-per-bar charts with differing
widths...it can be helpful for perspective when deciding to place an order.
The right hand chart below shows about twice the activity of the left hand chart
Although the indicator parameters are the same on both charts it's sometimes
easier to see price-to-indicator relationships with separate studies.

Compare the charts on #6 monitor (LH chart) and #2 monitor (RH chart)...

Admittedly I suffer from a mild case of dyslexia - I read whats on my trade Station monitors from right to left...
This malady is most apparent when I offer driving directions to people - my words come out correct
but my hand signals fail me (I point with my left hand when I say go to the right).
