If possible, measure the room you intend to use for trading. After

completing the measurements, think about the position of your

desks, computers, printers, phone, filing cabinets, and so forth. The

shape of the room is important because in all probability you will be

using a multimonitor configuration of at least two, possibly four

monitors. Placing them in the right area, away from glare, and in a

visually efficient configuration is critical. All of this will depend on

the size and shape of your room. I know a trader who went out and

bought a beautiful $1,500 oak computer desk combination. The only

problem was that the shape of his room required a triangular corner

unit, which would not fit through a normal-size door. If you can measure

and map out your trading room before you buy furniture or

computers, you will be ahead of the game. If the room is empty,

place tape on the floor to outline the desk and other office equipment.

This will allow you to scope out possible problems before

they arise. You might also use graph paper to draw the room and

furniture to scale. Try to find the largest, best-lighted room you can

for your trading room.
