I am planning future possibilities of trading in Forex (foreign exchange). If you are familiar with this then please give me recommendations of what would be a suitable computer system for doing this. I don’t want anything super extravagant. I just need something as basic as possible yet good enough to keep up with trading Forex.
I think I was to vague when I said computer system. I don’t mean forex software. I want information of actually desktop computers such as brand and memory.

I personally use a system called “Forex Autopilot” which is a system and some guides that tell you all about Forex trading.
You can see a nice review at
you may check on this site for your preference. if you want to trade forex with them, you should have the following:

for your further information, this site is one of the leaders in forex trading and offers personalized service through live, one-on-one training via phone, email or chat. for just a $100 mini account, you can start trading with their “no software download” trading system. other available accounts in series are gold, platinum and vip. note that the higher account you choose you are entitled to better trading features and benefits. anyhow, you can use your credit card to fund your account. otehr great tradign features are available for browsing at the website.
It will really depend on who you plan to make your trades through, however most newer computers will do. I think the one biggest edge you can get through your investment into the technology side is running a forex bot. I personally use Forex Tracer but there’s a site at that has the top bots reviewed, one may be more suited to your needs.
Pretty much any old computer will be fine. All you need is a good and reliable internet connection.
These days, any successful Day Trader knows you have to have a multiple monitor computer. It’s essential when trading time sensitive markets, so that you can see all your charts and programs at once.
Have you checked out SUPER PC at:
They are the Trading Computer kings! Type in “Forex Trading Computer” into Google and SUPER PC will be the first listing.
I got a quad monitor “Power Trader Pro” with the Quad stand display. Here’s the product link:
Here’s the Multiple Monitor LCD Display I got:
And here’s a cool video demo:
Most of the Forex expert advisor systems use a system based on Metatrader 4. If you check the prerequisites for running the Metatrader 4 client software you have a good idea of which computer system you will have to buy. In general, any good workstation with a fast internet connection will do.
I would say any computer that doesn’t crawl when you are doing day to day things like surfing the internet or listening to music. Some forex trading systems are online and just depend on the internet connection.
You shouldn’t be too worried about this as I don’t think it will effect your trading the least bit if you don’t have a top of the line pc. I trade on a computer that is almost 4 years old just fine.
