The traveling trader

[Thomas Stridsman <tstridsman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm about to write a short article for Futures about trading on the road
and what equipment to use when you need to monitor the markets when
you're away from home. What would you guys say are the minimum hardware
/ software requirements. What else need a traveling trader think of when
it comes to internet connections, e-mail accounts, phone cards, mobile
phones, beepers etc. etc. What is the least you can get by with and how
much will such a configuration cost? What about computers and fax
machines provided by the hotels, are these of any good? Any input will
be of value and very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Thomas Stridsman
