šŸ–„ļø What kind of computer do I need for trading?

While you donā€™t need a supercomputer to be successful, itā€™s important to have a setup that can run trading platforms smoothly. A few general tips:

  • A reliable internet connection is a must.

  • A computer thatā€™s less than 5 years old is usually ideal.

  • We recommend a second monitor if possibleā€”one for charts, one for order executionā€”but itā€™s not required.

If you're in the market, we made a short guide to help you figure out what kind of computer will work in your budget!

šŸ“ø How do I take or post a screenshot?

Screenshots are super helpful when asking for tech support!

  • On Windows, try using the Snipping Tool or press Windows + Shift + S

  • On Mac, use Command + Shift + 4

    You can then upload the image directly into a Discord message by dragging it in or clicking the + sign in the message bar.
