My Trading Desk

Posted by Blain Reinkensmeyer on Wednesday February 28, 2007

I have had a few requests to see my setup I have running over here in my office, so today I took a picture to appease the masses; this is where it all happens! I currently am running two monitors off of my PC, and two off of my laptop (including the laptop itself). I download all the financial data off my laptop, and make my trades and conduct research off my PC (left two screens). This setup 1-ups my old setup I had in the dorms my freshman year in college, which was just three monitors off my computer. But, nothing has yet beat hanging out with friends, blaring music, and daytrading for them while hanging out in my dormroom, “How the…. did you do that Blain?”

Here is the actual version so you can see things more clearly.

Hi Blain, what sort of softwares do you use in there? I know the one on the left is from stockcharts.com, but the rest?

The charting on the left is actually dailygraphs.com, which is a product of investors.com (Will O’Neil). Everything else is TD Ameritrade, and TD Ameritrade Apex. The intra day charting in the middle screen is open to any Ameritrade client, alongside the streamer (which is on the laptop screen). The Minyanville on the laptop bottom right is Apex, alongside most of the apps running above it (last sale, level II quotes, and the news streamer).

That is a very nice setup you have. I run dual 22″ widescreens on my work computer and still find myself in need of more desktop real estate. What size are your monitors? And is that a G7 mouse?

Hi there Shawn, thanks for the feedback. I almost bought a 22″ rece!ntly, but couldn’t afford it. Dual 22″s widescreens has to be great for fitting all of you data. “and still find myself in need of more desktop real estate” lol, I completely agree and think the same. My dad just recently bought a 32″ LCD and I told him to use that as his monitor (he has dual 19s). The far left monitor is a 19, the middle is a 17, and the far right is a 19. The laptop has a 14.1 display since I take it with me when I leave the house. The mouse is not a G7 sadly, it is an old mouse I bought while in college.
