Upcoming Free Training Event: How to Kill Your StressFear and Frustration as a Trader. With a little bit of research you can quite easily build you own trading computer or upgrade a computer you already have to meet your needs for trading. In this guide I will walk you through each of the different components in a system and help give you some guidance as to what you should choose when putting together your own system. Which processor you choose will basically dictate the rest of your system and the hardware you will need. For stock trading, most people just system a good processor, there is no need to go all out and purchase a bleeding edge, top of the line, gaming processor. Personally, I would look at a middle of the line Intel Core i7 processor. They have 4 cores and are plenty fast to handle any trading needs you throw at it. If those are out of your budget then look at a top of the line Intel Core i5. The processor is the single hardest thing in a system to upgrade so I would suggest spending more money here if possible. Intel Core i 3. The processor we chose above has a socket type called LGAbasically that means that the connector, or socket, that the processor needs to connect for the motherboard is an LGA connector. That will be the biggest factor in picking out a motherboard. The second step is to determine the size board you need. There are smaller options as well, however microATX has about the best combination of size while still having enough ports. The only other thing to take into consideration at this point is how stocks video cards you are looking to run. You may be able to save yourself some money by purchasing cheaper video cards that may only run 2 monitors at a time but then purchase more of those cards, say two or three of them, to run up to four or six monitors. If that is the case then you will need to look for a motherboard with the correct number of video card ports PCI Express 3. With all of these options I am going to recommend a board that has an LGA chipset to match our processor, is a microATX form factor, and has two PCI Express 3. Now that we have our processor and motherboard picked out we can choose which RAM Random Access Memory we want to use. The motherboard we chose can handle up to 64GB of DDR4 memory. Memory is where any open applications are stored while you are running them. For trading I would say 8GB would be the bare minimum I would run, but 16GB would be much better. For this system I am going to choose a single 16GB DDR4 module. Because this motherboard has two memory slots this will allow us to easily add a second memory module down the road. Corsair Value Select 16GB DDR4 MHz. The hard drive is where all of your information is stored-operating system, programs, data, pictures, music, everything. With the older type of drives you can get tons of storage for a very small price, but you computer to sacrifice speed. Because we do not need a lot of storage space for trading a decent sized SSD is our best option. If down the road we do need more storage space, we could add an additional magnetic drive and use that to store things like pictures and videos. Corsair Force GB 6Gbps SSD. For this example, we are going to say we want to run 4 monitors. We have yet to purchase the monitors so the ports are flexible, and the motherboard we purchased has two PCI Express x16 slots. At this point we have two options: This will really come down trading personal preference and if you think you will want to expand to more monitors down the road, as well as which video ports you would like to use. Personally, I purchase all of my video stocks and monitors to connect via the DisplayPort connector. While slightly more expensive, DisplayPort gives you the largest amount of options and flexibility. Workstation cards are designed to be run all day every day while remaining cool and quiet. They will keep the overall noise level of your system down. My single card recommendation: NVidia Quadro K note: My dual card recommendation: I typically like the Antec brand cases. They seem to be a good combination of build quality and price and have a nice clean look to them. Antec MicroATX Case VSK You will also need a power supply to power all of your components in your system. Really here we just need to match up for components and case and make sure that the power supply has all the necessary connections and will fit in the case. The only other thing you need to be concerned about is that some larger video cards need an additional power connection so make sure you check the specs on whichever video card you have chosen to see what it needs. Antec VP Power Supply. Monitors will once again be pretty much all personal preference. Basically, the resolution is how much information you can fit on the screen at one time. The larger those numbers, the denser the pixels are in the display, and the more information you can fit on the screen. Typically, the stands that come with monitors are not tall enough to support a good ergonomic position while using them. If you are looking to trade full time you need to take care of your body and need to get your desk setup to not damage your body and posture. Also once you start getting more than one or two monitors, the built in stands can start to take up a lot of room. By far the most popular operating system is Microsoft Windows. If you are building your own system, you can either choose Windows or Linux. Not to mention pretty much every trading platform out there will support Windows. Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 64bit. I also have my computer, monitors, modem, and router connected to a battery backup, in the system the power goes out while I am trading I will still have time to close out of my position before I completely lose power. A system like trading would easily handle just about any trading task you throw at it, and would cost you almost twice as much if you were to buy it from a Trading Computer Seller see the comparison. They have a great system for helping you pick out components that will work together as well as showing you the best price for each part. They also offer a ton of guides and walk through videos explaining how to assemble a computer system.
