[clover12]

I am thinking to buy a new computer. Fun. Wondering what you guys use?

Any special computer or just any ol' machine will do?!

Do you have a VPN or a personal Hotspot?

What Virus Protection do you use?  How about... Mac Afee?

Mac or a DELL?

[Peashooter]

I tend to use computer when I do trading because I can fully see the chart but when I am out in our school I always bring my laptop so even Im not in the house I can still do trading. I do not use any kind of VPN. But, I think if you looking for better laptop for trading I suggest use MAC.

To get a laptop or a desktop depends on your setup. If you're good with one screen, then a laptop would probably do. But if you prefer multiple screens with multiple charts open simultaneously, then probably buy a decent desktop or a good laptop with good specs and good thermals.

Do you have a VPN or a personal Hotspot?

Unnecessary unless you're in a country whereas certain exchange sites are banned.

What Virus Protection do you use?  How about... Mac Afee?

Definitely not McAfee LOL. Malwarebytes + built in Windows defender is enough for me. or better, go with a Linux operating system.

Mac or a DELL?

This is heavily subjective. Some people prefer Windows, some prefer OSX. Choose what you prefer using.

[semobo]

WHen you are going to completely use that system for crypto usage purpose then buying MAC is the best optionw where the security is high compared to windows system.But there is no need to buy new one for doing trading alone,you can do all these stuffs in the tablet itself.

How about just trading with............ Iphone or a smart phone device???  Yes/no??

I logged into Binance with my iPhone and iPad and it just does not fully work no matter what I do.

[clover12]

I mean i've put in an order with an IPHONE.... and lost money.  It was unable to do any indicators. It was allll garbled... real badly/
Unless you get the latest and greatest (and most expensive iphone) maybe that would work with Binance.>??

[clover12]

Iphones give almost ZERO access to the full deal with binance. You can not see ANY THING

[Zerbis]

Yes, binance and Bitfinex had some limits on IOS. But IOS app are safer than android , so don't change your device!

I trade on XS Max (Forex on metatrader, and Binance, Polo, Bitfinex on their apps)

Yes,you can trade.Try to change of your browser into desktop version it might get work,but for doing trade regularly you need a big screen to apply all the indicators and analyze about the price movement on the market.I am always using my windows 10 HP laptop for entering into trades because smaller screen hurt our eyes when we see the numbers everywhere at very small size on our mobile devices.

Any special computer or just any ol' machine will do?!

Trading using laptop or computer is just the same as long as you have the internet since the trading platforms are web based and you don't need to install it so it doesn't matter if you're going to trade via a PC or a Laptop.

The only advantage of using a laptop in trading is that no matter where you are (On a break in your office, on a out of town trip, cafe, etc.) you can use your laptop in order to do trading as long as you have an internet connect but... there are some exchanges that has their own ios and android application wherein you can trade using the applications on your mobile phone.

Do you have a VPN or a personal Hotspot?

I think VPN is an optional if the trading platform or cryptocurrency is illegal to your country but you can always use VPN for personal security.

What Virus Protection do you use?  How about... Mac Afee?

Antivirus has no connection when doing trading or when in the trading platform... I think the question that will fit in here is that "What kind of security you're using when doing trading"

The security features the most traders are using are the 2FA or a two-factor authentication, also known as two-step verification or let's say a second password and you needed a authenticator application to use this.

Mac or a DELL?

Anything it doesn't matter.

[Obiwankenodium]

Mostly i trade on my laptop. I even notice i have more bad trades started from my mobile phone.

[solarion]

Really not confident to understand this is off topic or trading question.

If you want to learn about the computer and security things you can just Google about it. Really confused on these things.

[gantez]

Laptop or no laptop, if you have an android phone you are good to trade. Moreover, you can carry your phone about and keep doing your business. Having a laptop is good at least for home trade but laptop does not do the trading alone, you are the one that matters.

Desktop, Laptops are way more comfortable when doing trades as you can see the whole interface of the trading site. You can also do it on mobile or tablet but you will noticed the difference. But for a trader who used to do trades on either of each platforms, that's not really a big deal.

You can answer the question without asking some advices from us. It's your money. You can buy a new machine if you want. It's not just for trading purposes but for other activities as well. Just make sure you will target a semi decent build so that you can enjoy your new stuff.

Do you have a VPN or a personal Hotspot?

Don't use VPN in exchange especially if you will used an other country IP. It's quiet a suspicious activity if you have a logged from different country. Stick with your ISP. If such case that the exchanges don't support your country, you have no choice but to used or other exchanges or used a VPN but this time, you need to stick with the country IP you have chosen.

I logged into Binance with my iPhone and iPad and it just does not fully work no matter what I do.

What do you mean by "it just does not fully work no matter what I do."? Can you elaborate the problem?

[bittraffic]

What I just need is an updated browser that I can use to load the exchanges. But if you are going to do trading every hour of the day, you would rather be buying a good android phone where you can install the app of your favorite exchange so that even when you just wake up, you can peak to the movement of the prices. This will save you time from booting the computer to loggin to your accounts.

Some application from the desktop computer will not be the same when it comes to a phone when using. It is better to use your own PC to do trading because you can clearly see the charts, graphs, buy and sell etc. And you can automatically search what you want to know, a phone is just for verification purposes only, so better keep it in touch with you.

It doesnt need to be special as long you can perform trade then you are all set. PC or laptop.Even on mobile you would
also able to trade up.

Do you have a VPN or a personal Hotspot?

Depending on your place/country.

What Virus Protection do you use?  How about... Mac Afee?

EsetNOD32 or malwarebytes.

Mac or a DELL?

Same as said above this would be users preference.

I have this same idea you have in the past and that makes me to buy many tools that I did not need to trading with .  The computer you are using for trading does not matter and what matters is the skills and understand you have concerning trading.
