The Best Thing About The Toy

[custard]

I use my computer for up to 10 hours every day and I am either reading or writing all the time.

The amazing thing about The Toy is that I can see a market and use my computer for all sorts of tasks at the same time. I can write a letter and see a market. The market takes up only a tiny part of my screen and no other software allows this. It doesn't matter which of its competitors are used, none allow this. True, windows can be opened and resized but this is useless as one needs to switch back and forth non-stop.

The concept of the market being shown in isolation, and without a full screen of tools, etc. is pure genius and, of itself, places The Toy at the top of the league.

If individuals only use a computer for trading, then, this feature of The Toy is unimportant. To those people who need to work at the same time, the feature is priceless.

Those who use the toy and work at the same are doing one of two things wrong: you're not focused in your work OR you're not focused on your trading, either way, you are losing money!

Apart from that, yes, TT is a great tool! I've been trading my skin off to see if I meet my purchase deadline!

I am lucky that I have a brain which allows me to do more than one thing at a time.

Crazy thing to say and very limited in your thinking. Many situations require just a corner of the eye view while doing something else then when the time comes you see it and can concentrate your attentions on it.
You say it costs money, I say it lets you get more done.

Perhaps I was thinking about my trading method, as I only trade in-play and market timing requires me to be 100% focused.

Other people's method might only require partial attention... I'll get there eventually!

can't say I agree fully with that - I work full time from home on my PC and still make a decent 2nd income using the Geek in the background - lucky me! Granted, my office looks like Mission Control, but I can live with it!
