On a 55" or 65" TV screen you can easily setup the charts showing both 1hr & 5m TFs for HK50 & WS30.
You also have plenty of room on top for your browser (I use Yandex browser as you can pop the video screen out and still browse other sites).
On the browser go to http://watchnewslive.tv/ as you can watch live FOX BUSINESS, HBO, SHOWTIME, HGTV & many other channels while you wait for your trades to come around.

Hey!
Thanks for this advice!
I've succesfully installed debian 13 on VMWarePlayer, with VMWare Tools working (Main OS is Windows Server 2022).
It also works on the VMWare Workstation which is free now (main extra benefit are the Snapshots).

Was wondering if you could help with this plan:

I'd like to install multiple MT5 and MT4 platforms in the debian 13 VM.
Or make two separate debian 13 VM clones to keep MT4 and MT5 separate (since each clone would only be about 25-30Gbs when running).
How would you suggest you'd best do it for your use with your systems?

I haven't installed the MT5 platform in the debian 13 VM yet. What's the best way you'd recommend installing MT5 and your system in debian 13?
I think I read some time ago you mentioned using docker, but that seems complex for my skills level or too much maintenance (though it seems to be very valuable to use a docker image compared to a VM for the Drive space saved).
I'd prefer if possible using VMWare for the ease of use (just cloning and using snapshots for testing if needed).

Or if possible/available, could you please consider making VMWare VMs for your major releases we could just download and be done with (I see the debian 13 VM is about 12 Gigs when closed so it should be fast to download with some program like IDM).
I could do it and share the VM clone but it might be more reliable to get it from you the source for everyone to enjoy from an official VM dedicated releases post/thread! That way we'd just download it, open it in VMWare Workstation/Player and just trade directly without tweaking/setting up any thing. Using your exact settings and not changing anything, at least for the first few months/weeks of trading, exactly like you do it explained here
"...I only need to click on the selected screen then run a BUY, SELL or CLOSE script."

It would also be a considerable time saver and positive tweaking restriction tool to simply share a VM copy. No more users errors in installing to handle (time saver). And new users could just start using the VM right from the get go without making any change for the first few weeks/months at least (or ideally for me at least and other minimalists never making any change if possible), to combat the tweaking habit impulses.

If you want I can upload a clone of my debian 13 VM and share a download link for you to test directly on VMWare Player/Workstation to save you time, or if you prefer I can share the tutorial I used to install it (it took about 30 minutes to install).

Thanks again!

EDIT:
Here's a new Debian 13.x.x LXqT Install on Vmware Workstation step by step demo:



Still not sure how best to proceed to install MT4 or and MT5 on Debian. I found one demo using Bottles and another using Wine.
Which one is the current one to best use with the Xard scripts? Thanks for your help!
