1) How to build a multi monitor with details & exact specifications to help fellow traders !

@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 :)
