I'm getting pretty serious at daytrading altcoins now and going to need a way to do it on the go.
What do you guys suggest? This is mainly for Bittrex and MintPal.
I like to trade for 1-2 hours at a time rather then 1 straight market order. I'm thinking like a cheap netbook or laptop. Mobile phone seems like too much of a pain in the butt. But intend to use the phone to tether.

I would go mobile. Mobile all the way. It is safe, and easy.

Not that easy. I should clarify that I like to have Twitter, Bitcointalk, MintPal & Bittrex open at the same time so I figured laptop would be easier for thatbut then the internet may be messy since I'd have to tether my phone. |

Multiple computers / monitors is a must for any serious daytrader!

That's what I'm thinking! But if I get a tweet that altcoin is dying while driving, I need to pull over to the side of the road and start trading. That means good connection and put up multiple quick buy and sell orders! I just don't think a phone will cut it. Using a touchpad and trying to manage multiple windows isn't going to cut it. |

What's the 11" netbook? I actually want something that's around $200 so I don't mind if I lose it. I'm going to be using it strictly for trading. I just don't think my phone will cut it since sometimes I like to put buy orders and cancel repeatedly for a few hours. |

Just my 2 pence worth.
HARD WORK trading on a mobile!!!! (Note2 in my case) refresh/screen terrible, size have made some real good mistakes with values being auto filled (missed due to screen size)... Could have stamped on the phone!!!
My opinion a good specced tablet, not a galaxy tab 2 though as they as slow as a striking slug!
Good luck!!

Thanks for the advice. I did consider a tablet. But I think the option of punching in numbers on a laptop keyboard + smaller cost would outweight. But I forgot to add that in the title which I will do. |

I use phone and laptop together for trading. On phone I get all the updates of the current market trends anywhere in my pocket but as some user already pointed out , you can make mistakes while punching values on your phone . And for that i prefer laptop as its more convenient to place orders and you can keep alt-coin wallets too on laptop for daytrading . Keep it secure though and don't save large amounts on coins on laptop.

Forget tethering, that is just a waste of time. I take it your making money so you want something reliable. Get yourself an ultrabook, nice and light. Make sure you get the model with built in mobile. It will have a slot for a simcard.
And awaaay you go..
Simply hibernate it when you are done, open the lid, your trading again in seconds with all your websites up.
I'll say this - you get what you pay for.

Yep, you can pay for: Cheap crap. Nicely priced good stuff. Overpriced crap (anything form apple). |
