Below you’ll find BBT’s ideal day trading station setup to put your best foot forward into day trading.

 

That being said, of course you can spend thousands and thousands of dollars on your computer; we encourage new traders to keep the cost of their business down as much as possible to start.

Laptop – Dell XPS 15

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20″][vc_column_text]

As there is no easy answer to the best computer for you (as it depends on your budget and other factors), our best recommendation is the Dell XPS 15. It offers the perfect balance of power and portability. Paired with a docking station (below), you can run up to 4 separate monitors, and with one pull of the cable you’re off to the coffee shop to journal your trades!

Monitor – Dell E2420HS

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20″][vc_column_text]

Arguably the most important piece of your day trading setup. What you choose is very dependent on how much room you have and your budget. We eventually highly recommend having 4 monitors; as you’ll want enough room to monitor many charts, the scanners, BBT chat room and keep Twitter open to keep an eye on Elon Musk’s crazy tweets! The Dell E2420HS is a great balance of price, size and quality. It is also VESA compatible if you decide you would like to mount your monitors above your desk.

Standing Mat – Sky Mats Anti Fatigue

While we do think standing while trading will keep you more alert. There is no denying the fatigue you may feel from doing it for a longer period of time. That’s why we recommend this standing mat with a soft foam core. It’s a perfect balance of support and comfort!
