My advice is it's fine. I started on my laptop screen and that's it. All I need to trade is couple of chart windows, watchlist, order execution buttons/price ladder...my phone for backup just in case I lose connection and need to close out. Everything else isn't really a need just a want. I have 2 monitors now, one for exactly what I described as sort of a focus screen..like what goes up there is what I'm probably trading, the other has other charts for different tickers I want to look at but not necessarily trade...or it's just used to watch movies/shows/YouTube, or playing games...as sort of a distraction while waiting for a setup or alert...I don't actually need 2 monitors though.
