286 PART 9 - The Trading Platform

The Trading Room

So far, we have gotten acquainted with the trading platform, its windows,
and how to use them, but we still have not learned how to position the
platform’s windows, especially if you are trading with more than one
screen. To explain this, we need to take a few steps back and observe the
bigger picture: arranging the screens and the trading room.

My trading room is my fortress. Woe to whoever dares step foot inside
during trading hours. I am far from user-friendly, including to my wife, three
daughters, and even our dog, whose bond with the family trader earned
her the name “Shorty.” In other words, my door is closed. I would even lock
it quite happily if this were not considered exceedingly antisocial. Pleas
from the inner depths of our home, such as “Daddy, the TV’s not working”
or even screams of fear along the realms of “Daddy, come quickly, there’s a
huge cockroach!” gain no traction during trading hours.
