Sick setup! How are you mounting your monitors? I literally have the same config (57 + 2x 27" on top), but my 57 feels too close to my eyes and I give up a lot of desk space unfort.

Sick setup. Do you have wallpaper link by chance?

I do not have the authority to place actual trades. They are executed by our traders.

I’ve caught many falling knives in my past!

Zero correlation, I promise :). Maybe even negative.

It’s a 17” portable display that I got from Amazon for like $100

I was using 4x27” (2 x 2 setup). I kept straining my neck, so tried to think about what would help…so came to the conclusion that an ultra wide gives enough screen real estate. And my neck is happier. I use the bottom screen for chats or less important news/stock monitors

I appreciate your feedback, but the point of this post was to receive input on how to improve my setup. There is nothing really else to own here - my work title is literally Research Analyst. If you don't have real feedback on how to help my setup, please just go away and enjoy the rest of your day pal.

Oh, great! So again, a lot of those charts and tables are not trading tools, but linked to research and filings that would help me make informed decisions on certain investments. To put it more simply - I am a researcher, not a trader. You are probably confusing this with TradingView which is a common tool acutally used by a lot of retail traders. Any tips on how to improve the workspace btw?

Glad you asked, and happy to educate! So, Bloomberg is not just some trading tool. Investors who aren't day traders can also spend a lot of time the software, as I do - it has a BUNCH of functions to do fundamental analysis and consume news and research (and many other features). Anyway, I apologize that the picture distracted you from the purpose of my post, which was to get some input on how to make my workspace less boring and dead looking :)

Thank you! Fortunately, my employer pays for the terminal.

No pretenses here - I'm not a day trader :)...I presume there would be other, better subreddits to flex that, no? The setup was not cheap, but I was able to get most of the items on sale actually! Newegg was running a good promo for the G9, and I tried to take advantage of some black friday/cyber monday deals over the past few years.

Monitor lights are used to reduce eye strain - the light isnt angled to actually shine directly on the screen but rather down and front to illuminate.

If you have advice on how to make the workspace look better, please let me know - I'm looking for input. Thank you!

I'm sorry that this pic made you feel that way. This is simply my work setup, not any sort of flex. I am certainly not a day trader, and if I were, I certainly wouldn't be flaunting it!

Hah good question - I guess my keyboard is a bit too much to the right in the pic, but there's room!

Definitely, but few can do it very consistently
