You can use anything like laptop (with minimal spec), maybe you use smartphone Wink

It's definitely easier, and you can take it anywhere and anytime. I use Android and trusted apps to do a rade.
almost the same and no obstacles at all except the internet signal.
Use Z trader or Tabtrader or other app to monitor prices such as blockfolio or delta.

you also need a good bunch of pump group alert.

They often share great signals for when to buy.

Plausible target value

it depend on you that where and which type of trading you want to do. if you want to do trading with crypto then you don't need much equipment. but you just need a computer system and an internet system so that you can access in this forum and then you can buy and sale everything online whenever you want.

In my opinion for newbie trader use laptop or PC is more easy to read and to understand the charting than Ipad or mobile android. Because with bigger screen we can add more indikator in the chart when use Trading View platform and will be more easy to learn price action. But if you expert already how to read the chart in PC , then you can use Ipad or mobile android. If you full trader is important to understand how to use all equipment because not possible all the time in front of PC.

I’m not really sure of iPad, but I know that there are platforms that allow mobile trading on Android, and that’s impressing. I prefer to do mobile trading, cause I’m not the type that loves to carry my laptop around everywhere I go, due to the bad boys. But I can easily carry my mobile around everywhere I go.

Keep it simple, IMO. Lots of people think they need multiple giant monitors for dozens of charts and indicators. I've found that with my trading setup, less is more. I get by just fine with my two standard laptop PCs. 16GB RAM should be fine for lots of charts open in tabs. I mostly trade the daily/weekly charts these days, so I just set wide alarms in case of major fundamental news/events, and I basically just set-and-forget leveraged positions with stop losses.

My girlfriend loves Macbooks, but if you just need a machine for trading, it's totally overpriced. I'd much rather a $300 ASUS for this....

Hmm, you guys really have time for all these stuffs, so you make use of two computers for trading? Nice! For me, I don’t, I only make use of a single laptop and I believe it does the same thing, and I will also make profits as people using 100 laptops. Making use of many laptops doesn’t mean you will be making profit more than everyone, so it’s of no use. I’m okay with one.

Go what ever you want dude as long as you do have an internet connection which is that is the most important things to access the trading site , as long as you are not using only phone because mostly of the trading website are not mobile friendly so it is difficult to trade with it, it is more easy if you use pc or macbook any that has a big screen

To me laptop is the best equipment you can used for trading! With laptop one will have a lerge view of the market and placing an order is easy by just clicking. I also think one can combine most of the tools such laptops, Mac, Ipad and some smart phone.

Use your phone for trading is enough. Bittrex, Binance have good website for mobile trading. The best thing while trading with your phone is your can trade anywhere you want. Wink

No, just no.

It is very difficult to monitor multiple charts, log in/out and operate multiple or even one exchange using a phone. For some reason poloniex logs me out every 5 minutes on a phone and crpytowatch likes to drop all my settings, and every time I switch back and forth between a chart, everything else is disturbed or logged out. Forget reactions to a split second movement, reaction to a wall-buy, or competing with other traders with your orders. The keyboard and mouse are very helpful for the process of order entry and split second movements.

Exchanges sites like Bittrex or Poloniex lag a bit to my PC sometimes the Browser is not responding at all loosing great opportunities to trade to a certain coin because i have a crappy core 2 duo system so my advice was to go for decent laptop with a stable internet connection go for mac book if you have a budget to afford it, for Ipad pro or even Android phone i think it is not possible because the price movement is not good for real time monitoring, you need to refresh to look for an update which is not convenient i tried it on chrome android version so it's not possible.

Funny enough, I make use of a core 2 duo system as well, although not crappy but I can say it has been able to stand the test of time and I am using it to trade on these two platforms beautifully well.

It might be your RAM is low and you have a lot of applications or websites with high RAM usage opened all at once which could be causing the lag. However, depending on the browser you are using on your smartphone, which in my case I use chrome, real life update on the charts and chart monitoring has never been a problem and so easy to do.

Algo Trader

If you are Day trader and do Algorithmic Trading then you should have MacOS, Windows works fine, but MacOS is better for its flexibility and power.

Security is also better for MacOS. You must have big screen if you prefer laptop. Otherwise choose MacMini with Custom big screen. That would be the best option if you do trading at fixed place and much of the Mover or traveller.

For travelling any Mac would work fine. PM me if you need specs and specifics of Screens and Refresh Rate, Tech details.

A single machine which is powerful enough + good internet connection.

And lots of screens. You need at least three. Because you will need to trade in multiple exchanges in multiple markets(pairs). Since cryptocurrencies are not regulated, a lot of the big whales make or break the market on whim oftentimes for their own profit hence don't follow the market trend on only one exchange.

I personally use a laptop. Allows me to trade while on the go, and the screen is large enough to fit all of Bittrex's information.

the first thing that you need is you need a computer with internet access, so you need a computer with internet access and this is so you can execute your trades so that way you can see what's going on with the prices, what's going on with the stock or how’s the chart moving.

Yes, you need computer and internet access. But if can't afford PC its better good for laptop to use.there's no need high specification to do trading.its a good for begginers laptop and internet access. Good luck happy trading.

If you plan to be a day trader that requires you to monitor you investment most of the time, get a good desktop and a fast internet connection. time is important with day traders. But if you plan to trade long term, a decent laptop will do and a good Wifi connection is fine, you can even go with a tablet or ipad since after you buy, youll check check the price from time to time with no rush of selling right away.

you don't really need any special equipment for trading. you can do it with any old computer which has a browser and with the slowest internet connection you can find! you just do the traditional way of trading, you buy things low and then sell them higher a while later.
you can even do it on your cell phone!

the stronger hardware is only needed if you want to use special strategies, like high frequency trading (i don't know most of their names in English though),... for these you need a normal computer with the least amount of Ram and a normal CPU but the important thing is your internet connection which needs to have low latency. you need to get the data fast and send it back fast (executing orders for example). but that is not a necessity for trading or making profit in this market.
