Every aspect of the AlgoBox™ trading system has been meticulously thought out and tested, even down to the specific ideal keyboard and mouse to use. After extensive testing of nearly all of the mice and keyboards available on the market, here are Vinny E. Mini's favorite "Tools Of The Trade" and why:
The Logitech G300s is the perfect ambidextrous trading mouse with its triple settings profiles, six programmable hotkeys, rubber grips and claw-like ergonomics for precise control.
DPI is the standard used to measure the mouse sensitivity, expressed as the number of DPIs (dots per linear inch) that a device can detect. By changing the DPI, you can instantly adjust pointer speed for precision tasks. A higher DPI means the cursor will move faster and cover more screen distance with less physical movement. A lower DPI results in slower, more precise cursor movement. For trading, you will have to discover your preferred mouse DPI that balances speed, precision and control.
The polling rate indicates how frequently the mouse updates the computer with its position. Expressed in Hertz (Hz), it represents the number of times per second that data is sent from the mouse to the computer. A higher polling rate may provide more precision and responsiveness in the movement of the mouse cursor. The Logitech G300s provides ideal polling rate settings of 500 or 1000Hz to strike a balance between responsiveness and computing resources.
The CORSAIR K57 allows for the option to go wireless or wired whereas the K55 is a wired keyboard. Both are membrane keyboards that have six programmable hot keys, allowing for faster, more responsive trade management. The keyboards also allow the option of a wrist rest.
Trading is a business of risk management. A wired mouse and keyboard eliminates any wireless lag, latency, connection issues and battery power concerns - eliminate risk wherever possible.
A UPS is essential for trading PCs. It protects your trading account from power outages and can also safeguard your hardware from electrical surges.
