What hardware do I use for trading?

Some of you might have already read about me and that I love tech and anything related to it. I love to have nice gadgets and stuff but what I like even more is to have a nice office setup so I’m gonna show (off) to you a bit about the evolution of my setup.

I won’t be going into the hardware as much since this is after all not a tech blog but a stock trading blog.

DISCLAIMER: those with OCD be warned. They’re gonna be some messy cables lying around. You’ve been warned.

To turn my setup into this:

And then I was fortunate enough to move yet again to a nicer apartment and obviously I had to have an even nicer office setup to go along with it.

Even did some cable management for those friends with OCD.

But that quickly turned into this:

Needless to say… I overdid it a bit.
