How do you drive the video for that many screens?

I've had good luck with this product: Check this out on @Newegg:WAVLINK DisplayLink Laptop Docking Station, Quad Monitor 5K/4K@60Hz, 100W Charging For Thunderbolt 4/3, USB-C/A - M1 M2 Mac/Windows/Chrome/Ubuntu With 4 HDMI, 4 DP, 180W Power, SD 4.0 CR, 2.5Gbps LAN https://www.newegg.com/wavlink-wl-ug69pd5-black/p/1DN-0023-00083?Item=9SIA6PFFNF0609&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-9SIA6PFFNF0609-_-03092024

Much less expensive than many internal cards. I've only utilized 1 at a time, but trying with 2 of them would be interesting. Motherboard would need to have more than average USB resources.
Come to think of it, 1 of these on the USB 3.2 bus and a 2nd on a Thunderbolt card would be the way to go.
I just may have to try this. 🤔

2 video cards or 8 screens is manageable. When you go over 8 the technical issues go exponential

. Have to use pci riser cables and lots have issues. You can power it all with a single power supply but your buying the biggest and best that exists. I built this in 2021 all in it was about $10,000

So how does it work if you win one of the $600 prizes?

Do you still need to with apex pass the funding challenge?

Do you have to use the entire balance in the first month?

I use rtrader/rithmic using bookmap and ninjatrader. Trades are put in on ninja to rtrader.

I would love to understand how you've got the NT8 & Bookmap working together, and where your data feed comes from.
Do I understand correctly that you're only using the Rithmic data, for both trading platforms?
I use IB as broker, along with their data feed, but it's not a good feed.
Thanks.

Rtrader allows cached connections. So your rithmic connection goes to rtrader and you connect both ninja trader and bookmap to rtrader. I think the limit is 2 applications can be connected to rtrader.

Upside down picture for the APEX. 🤣

Most of the major brokers provide rithmic data via rtrader. I use optimus futures.

You have 43" monitors with a single chart on them?
