Best Day TRADING Set Up 2022 - Ultrawide Curved Monitors, Cable Management, Trading PC Build - YouTube
Channel: Humbled Trader
[9]
Today I am going to updating my trading
computer setup from this. To this.
[16]
I’ve been using these 4 screen
trading monitor set up for
[20]
over three years now. And I think it’s time for
a refresh up here. Also, I want to mount this PC
[27]
tower on the floor to under my desk and finally
deal with this mess of cables down here.
[35]
This is the infamous cable graveyard. Where all
electronics and tech come to die after I use them.
[43]
My new trading monitor are going to be two:
[46]
2021 LG 38-inch Curved Ultrawide monitors.
[52]
Special thanks to LG for gifting me
these two monitors to try. But… they
[58]
really should have also gifted me a technician
[60]
to help me set this up. Because if
you’re following my channel for a while.
[65]
You would know that…. I am a grandma; I don’t
know any of these technical computer stuff.
[71]
Hey, I said I know how to trade,
I never said I know computers.
[75]
Thankfully I have a friend who is much
smarter and tech savvy than me. Steven!
[82]
Are you ready to set up this
Monitor for me, I mean with me?
[87]
Now we’re going to set up the new
monitors and stack them vertically,
[91]
install a cable management system,
and mount the CPU tower below my desk.
[97]
For the bottom monitor I decided the use the
original One Click Stand that comes with the
[103]
package. The mount is very easy to install.
Just a simple click at the back and its done,
[109]
no other tools required. This mount is also very
flexible, and is height and tilt adjustable.
[118]
For the top monitor, I decided to go with a VIVO
extra tall vertical mount that I purchased from
[124]
Amazon. My previous four monitors were
also set up with the VIVO quad mount.
[130]
It had some alignment issues
that really triggered my OCD,
[134]
but nonetheless the mount was extremely sturdy,
so I was happy to re-purchase from them again.
[141]
This VIVO extra tall mount was originally made
for two monitors stacked vertically. But since
[148]
the bottom monitor is going to sit on the LG
mount, I removed the unused arm at the bottom.
[155]
And of course, this LG Ultrawide Curve
monitor is VESA mount compatible as well.
[164]
Shay, can you help?
[167]
What?
[171]
Now it’s time to install the CPU
mount for my PC tower under the desk.
[177]
So, after a lot research, I purchased this
heavy duty CPU mount from Prime Cables.
[186]
I used some 3M double sided tape to attach a power
strip and cable tray near the back of the table.
[194]
Now all the power cords can be plugged
into the outlet under the desk.
[199]
This way I can finally hide all the messy
wires from my wire graveyard before.
[204]
Everything stays very clean and hidden whether
my standing desk is adjusted high or low.
[210]
This process took a while to get it
right. But I am happy with the result!
[219]
And this is my new trading computer setup.
[259]
And this is the new trading computer
monitor setup. So basically I went
[264]
from having four 24 inch monitors to
now only having two 38-inch ultrawide.
[272]
With two LG 38incch Curved Ultra-wide
that is stacked on a VIVO vertical mount.
[279]
So that means I’m going to
make a lot less money now.
[282]
Because we all know the more monitors you
have the more money you make in day trading.
[289]
Ok that's not true. But seriously there is a huge
edge in having bigger screen real estate to be
[296]
able to monitor multiple stocks and multiple time
frames at the same time when you are day trading.
[303]
And this will be especially true if you’re
trading sector momentum moves and be able to
[309]
compare the movements of all the leaders and the
followers and track the sentiment across a sector.
[316]
This is extremely important if you
are day trading this momentum stocks.
[320]
And these 38 inch Curved Ultra-wide monitors
allow me to do so. With 21:9 aspect ratio,
[330]
slim bezel edges on 3 sides, and
continuous screen real estate,
[335]
I'm able to monitor up to 8 stocks on
one screen on the top with multiple
[341]
time frames, the daily charts, intraday
time frames as well as the major indices.
[348]
Then at the bottom, I have room
for my trading execution platform.
[353]
4 stocks, 4 montages, 8 stock charts
and all the order management windows.
[360]
From there I can easily split my display
to fit my research tools like newswire,
[366]
scanner, and of course my very own
Humbled Trader community on Discord.
[374]
This is my first time using ultra-wide
curved monitors, I was a bit worried about
[381]
whether the curve would distort
the visuals too much on screen.
[385]
However, I was pleasantly surprised that
the curves on these monitors are very subtle
[391]
and they fill up my peripheral vision nicely.
[397]
Besides the space, the monitors are
also height and tilt adjustable.
[404]
While I only connect the
monitors to my PC tower normally,
[408]
these also come with multiple inputs at the
back and support USB type C with laptops.
[419]
Complete with this trading setup update is
the under the desk CPU mount. Now my PC tower
[425]
can rise higher or lower with my standing
desk. Which provides a more organized look,
[432]
and I can now clean the floor
easily or pretend to do so.
[436]
And my previous hideous cable graveyard
[440]
is now gone! With much cleaner cable
management system under the table as well.
[451]
I will list out all the links to my LG
monitors, the computer parts, CPU mount,
[457]
and cable management system down
below in the description. Again,
[461]
thank you LG for gifting me these monitors to
enhance my trading experience. And of course,
[468]
especial thanks to my friend Steven for updating
this computer set up for me, I mean with me.
