I am more of Technical analysis trader thus I use laptop for my trading because I will be able to zoom in and out all the Japanese candlesticks, its apparently very easy for me to analyse the candlestick patterns for trade reversal or continuation due to a larger screen size of the laptop which is rarely possible with a phone due to its small screen size.

That's the benefits of using larger views, as you can trace the patterned to analyze market behaviors, most of the traders who wanted to make
a clear views and cope up with how things will possibly moves used laptops instead of mobile devices, a lots of times it's really have a much
higher success when you have a clear pictures of entry and exit point that you are planning to do.

I often use Laptop for my trading which is still the best but I sometimes use my Iphone/Ipad on the go when I don’t have access to my laptop and when I don’t put my stop loss tool in place.

Of course, laptop is very convenient for me. Never trade using my Iphone/Ipad though, I'm prone to making mistakes that's why I don't want to sacrifice anything.

I also connect my desktop too sometimes to my 55 inches screen when I feel like having a wider screen but all these are just extra personal things and not all necessary, the most important of it all is to have your laptop or mobile phone coupled with your skills of technical and fundamental analysis.

Well I just magnified or zoom at least to have a wider screen. So that I can also double check everything specially when you're trying to push the sell button.

I am thinking to buy a new computer. Fun. Wondering what you guys use?

Any special computer or just any ol' machine will do?! Roll Eyes

Do you have a VPN or a personal Hotspot?

What Virus Protection do you use? How about... Mac Afee?

Mac or a DELL? Huh

Just ordinary well-operating laptop,nothing special.

Any laptop can do the trading of course, it will just depend on what you want.
I honestly don’t want to use laptop since its too heavy and I always travel so I just invest on a good phone which I found contentment. You can also use tablet which is more light weight compare to laptops.

Trading can be done on tablets and on cell phones also but I will recommend using laptop. One of the reason is that laptop has a big screen and it can better help you. Secondly I think all the features are not available on mobile versions of exchanges as compare to laptop/desktop.

Mobile / Cell phones can be used to view only the prices and for placing the orders, I only use my laptop.

Well, it depends on your trading system. If you are an active trader and trading on small tf, you'd better buy a more specialized computer. If you are not that kind of person, laptop should be enough to do everything.

I'm using my desktop for trading when i'm at home and smartphone when i'm outside. I don't use VPN when trading except to open "those" website. For me, It doesn't matter what's your pc brand. At least get a pc with 4GB memory for your convenience.

I do use a 4gb memory laptop before which was quite very convenient and does not lag but I had to upgrade to the 8gb ram with a higher processor when I started playing high graphic games with it and also mining some of these small altcoins that can still be mined on system even though it still doesn’t get me the result I expect. So if it’s strictly for trading alone.

I think the 4gb ram laptop is very ok as you said. Well, I use vpn and I use express vpn when I am on exchanges that are decentralized to avoid unnecessary vulnerabilities

What laptops have 4B and i7??? I'd like a fast one!!!! or a 4B with i7 that can have more RAm Inserted into it!?!

I'm using it to exchange computers and chat with people... I do not use vpn or antivirus, but I do not install anything on my computer.. The computer brand that I can recommend if you're playing on your computer is a monster laptop. or asus

If you want to use laptop or desktop is totally up to you. It actually depends on what you do. Laptops are actually more compact and easy to carry anywhere. So if you travel a lot and you need to keep an eye on the charts, then a laptop would do really good. You can use your phone but most exchanges have a laggy/bad mobile interface.

laptops are bulky but phones are not . although laptop are more better to use when trading because you can see the whole screen which gives you easier navigation .

So if you travel a lot and you need to keep an eye on the charts,

you can do this via your mobile phone as they can access the internet verry fast and less hasle .

most traders including me are all using laptop when we do trading but we also need our phone beside us because our phone will recieve the code for the 2fa's before you can login on your trading account .

I agree whole HEartedly!!!! To be FRANK. All of the light weight laptop models are all 4GB of RAM. All the 8GB ones are heavy. Hard to carry around... Cry

I like this machine but it's going to be returned.. and exchanged for something better for me. I am NOT spending more than $600 on a laptop.

There is no computer that is special and most importantly that you are comfortable using it, besides that you also have to be able to make sure the computer you are using is at a good level of security. Do not let the computer infected by the virus because it can make transactions that you do are not safe. Trading is a job that requires good security, if not then the assets you have lost will be stolen.

Actually there ARE special computer from different purposes such as a gaming laptop or a work laptop (IMO a Macbook or pro may be considered as a good work laptop) but when it comes to trading, I think that any laptop or desktop would do so long as it has a good screen and battery life. Don't use one that lags easily or crashes because you'll surely get frustrated or may even lose your information. Security really is important and if you know how to use a VPN, that would be preferable since the information becomes encrypted.

Outdated pc or laptops would really give you a headache when it comes to processing power and execution of programs and knowing trading platforms would really need up some
good processor PC or laps.
It is true that there are specific types of laptops which either can be gaming or intended for work but i usually suggest HP elitebook when it comes to battery life compared to others.
Too long to drained out battery and i have tested it among other brand of laptops as well.
VPN isnt necessary yet most trading platforms can be accessed by any county so i dont see a problem in regards to this.

If you are a professional trader,you really do not need much "pluggins" or special software to trade effectively.Just a simple laptop (with the general security precautions such as not sharing it with others),and a TradingView account for your charts.I doubt if there are trading bots that are effective at the moment.Cryptocurrency has not hit that level of sophistication as we have in Wall Street trading
