Can you describe what an uber baller one man trading room would have?

[/ QUOTE ]

I currently don't have an uber baller one man trading room [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I only trade from home very occassionally so I am not set up perfectly. I have 2 dual pentium computers, a laptop and 2 Dell 2001's with a cable connection that I use. The cable connection is the first thing to upgrade if trading full time. Really need a T1 line and a backup DSL from a different provider. This is one reason why I don't trade much at home. If your connection goes out or even stutters it can be painful. When I have traded at home it's never been a problem. But I feel much safer in the office with ultra fast connections and the computer techs within shouting distance. That said in the office yesterday our ICE (Intercontinental Exchange) connection dropped 3 times.

If trading full time at home I would want a better connection and a backup connection and a couple of more monitors.
