Our trading room setup - you don't have to spend a fortune

Mark Sear • Jul 15, 2021

Our live trading room (well one of them)

Covid changed the way we operate.  It had to.  Inteligex now operates from a dedicated trading room at home as well as mobile in the Mercedes Vito van that we use when we want to cycle (separate YouTube #theCyclingTrader).  Why do we have trading rooms?  Why invest? 


Because trading is a business.  You need the right setup for any business to succeed! 


To succeed in trading you need a trading system with positive expectancy.  Inteligex is a multi award winning trading and signals system.


You will need a nice PC (dedicated to trading if you can), a desk and of course a chair.


In the video you will notice we haven't spent thousands of dollars on our kit, we don't need to and neither do you.  A lot of people make the mistake of purchasing the mega PC.  $5k or more on a PC.  Ours?  About $750.  we spend our money on the fastest connections we can get and the sharpest monitors.  PLUS a nice chair (we chose a gaming chair, they are great value and designed to be sat in for hours). 


When you build a trading room or a trading setup always think about comfort and also your wellbeing throughout the trading day. 


To be a great trade you need to be focused and on top of your game so make sure you're environment is right.
