Check the alt.comp.freeware group for a recent discussion on
this, but I think the best way is to use graphics cards with
multi monitors on one computer.

Re: Stock trading with Multi Displays(Monitors) ?

Multi monitors require a 'multi-head' video card or a laptop with such
a built-in ( I know of none ) and not simply a CRT/LCD option.

Try logging on to your account from 2 systems. (Not likely).
How about 2 accounts? Talk to your broker. Don't do anything before
you do iot find out what you can and can not display on multiple
monitors. Hint: different windows can be monitor directed.

It is possible from a desktop with the proper video card. No big deal
replacing your existing video card. Not too expensive as these are
not performance gaming cards. Video card $30, used 17" CRT $25-35 and
not hard to do.
