It happens all to often that traders make the mistake of investing in a PC that isn't going to last or purely can't handle the workload. At this point, the initial investment was for a computer from a big box store at eight hundred dollars. Now that you have to buy a second computer that actually works, you now have to eat that cost and spend fifteen hundred bucks on a computer that is designed for traders.

Custom trading computers are often designed and built by traders themselves. The value in these computers also comes from benefiting from their knowledge of testing what works for trading computers. They took the risks to spend money on hardware just to find out in the long run it doesn't stand up to the task of trading.

These are not upsell opportunities. Industry standards are inadequate for trading. A standard computer from a big box store might be very functional for an entry-level business professional, but not for trading. You will be putting a huge workload on this computer daily. You will need a high-powered machine to keep up with this level of activity.
