@prathamesh_pai from the team did all the research to strike a balance btwn price & performance
#trading
2) Monitors :
Dell 27 inch 2721HN
BenQ 27 inch GW2780
Vertical Monitor Dell P2722H
We are using 10 monitors & 1 vertical monitor with 1080 p resolution
Purpose of the monitors is to help scan multiple charts,momentum stocks, news and give a bird eye view of the market.
3) Mother Board:
Aorus Elite z690
The motherboard is the backbone that ties the computer's components together at one spot and allows them to talk to each other.
This allows GPU,processor, RAM and other hardware component to interact seamlessly
4) Processor
CPU Processor i7 12th gen 12700K
This is the brain of the computer. A powerful processor provides higher computing power.
We need computing power for backtesting multiple strategies & fetch 1 min data by API.
5) RAM
RAM 16 GB*2 3600 MHz by Corsair Vengenance DDR4
RAM stores the information your computer is actively using so that it can be accessed quickly.
The more programs your system is running, the more memory(RAM) you'll need.
6) Powersupply unit
750 W Gold 80+ by Deepcool
This powers the entire computer.
7) Liquid Cooler
Deepcool L 240 T
This maintains the optimum temperature & let systems run efficiently.
A liquid cooler is more efficient than a fan cooler.
8) Graphic Card
Graphic Card Nvidia T600 4GB * 2
Each graphic has 4 display outputs.
A graphics card is an expansion card for your PC that is responsible for rendering images to the display.
For trading purposes a medium level graphic card is sufficient
9) Memory
Western Digital Blue SN550 NVMe 1 TB
Used to save daily market related files & data.
10) Cabinet
Cabinet Galax Rev05
Used to assemble all the hardware in a single box & use it as a single unit.
This provides good ventilation & has 4 fans.
Also gives a look good & feel
11) Keyboard & Mouse
We have used a simple wirless optical keyboard & mouse
Dell KM5221W
Helps toggling between multiple monitors & for trade execution
12) Costing
Total setup with cost around 2.5 per lakh
We have total 2 setups. So costed us around 5 lakh.
Cost will depend on what specifications you need. You can compromise on things you don’t need to lower the budget.
I hope you found the thread useful :)
