I'm a day trader and currently run NinjaTrader 8 on a FAST home pc (SSD + solid GPU/RAM). I do that because I multi-task a lot. To quote Jesse Livermore: "Money is made by SITTING, not TRADING" and I do a lot of sitting. While I'm waiting for the market to come to me, I'm often surfing (my browser often has lots of tabs open), researching stuff on TradingView, listening to audio or videos, etc. I'd like to do more trading from coffee shops or while traveling rather than sitting at home all the time. So...
My first thought is to go for a low to mid level gaming laptop. But also thought about going lighter, perhaps with a Microsoft Surface Pro (or Surface Book), or even an Eve-Tech. If you happen to use a touch screen PC, how do you like it with NT8? I'm constantly drawing lines on my charts (and running Fib Retracements & extensions) and wonder if having a touch screen would make that easier (and faster) or if I'm better I'm better off sticking with a mouse/TrackPad for that. If you happen to be using a touch screen, please share your experience. And if you're using a regular lap top, I'd also love to hear what you think. What do you run NT8 on currently? How do you like it? What might you buy instead if you we're replacing it today?
