Hello All, Was just wondering if there are any other stock traders/investors here and what you are using to help you trade.
Im using: Mac mini M1, LG 32", Logitech Keyboard and mouse, fiber for internet, ThinkorSwim for charting. Seem to work ok but always looking to improve. Weakest link I would say would be the Logi Keyboard, not easy to update and the screen brightness controls have never worked. Best of luck to you.
 
Yes- since the early days when E*Trade over dial-up was the only way other than using a brokerage.

Moved on to a different company ~10 years ago. I do my own research (read many things; no charting) and generally buy and hold for >1 year to get into lower capital gains territory.

I use my investment company's Android mobile app or their investment web site on my 600 Mbps down /18 Mbps up internet.

Thank you for posting. I utilize Schwab Think or Swim Desktop for trading, and TradingView for charting as it is great for Fibs. I was looking for a different keyboard when I ran across your post. Time has arrived to toss the flat Apple Bluetooth keyboard. I have been using the M1 Studio running 4 monitors for a time with the CWOC docks to assist. It is difficult on time when scrolling to find the mouse on the correct monitor to place trade, charting, or scrolling for option chains. It is so bloody slow when in a rush. Not sure if the M4 Studio supporting 5 would work any better by daisy chaining the two 27"studios and two BenQ 30". Having monitors in this method would save time when it is of the essence. Great trading to you and Cheers!
