Your CPU benchmark score is one number that measures how fast your computer’s processor, the CPU, really is. It is the best single test of whether a computer can keep up with live day trading. Model names will not tell you: two processors with similar names can be thousands of points apart.
45,000 is the minimum CPU benchmark score for live day trading. Above 55,000 is optimal, and the higher your score, the better: more room for fast markets, more charts and more platforms open at once. The fastest processor EZ Trading Computers has tested, the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2, scores 74,997.
So where does your computer land? Run the free CPU benchmark test and get your score in about two minutes.
Every EZ Trading Computers machine has a CPU benchmark score above 45,000.
Eddie Z on why the cheap computer ends up being the expensive one, and how to make the case for a real trading computer at your kitchen table.
EZ Trading Computers was founded in 2010 by Eddie Z, a full-time trader with 39 years on Wall Street. He builds the machines he would trade on himself.
Every computer is tested on the trading platforms before it ships, and every desktop is backed by a 5-year warranty. Every customer also gets lifetime premium tech support, the best in the business: in-house techs who only work with traders, so when you call you talk to someone who knows Thinkorswim, NinjaTrader, TradeStation and TradingView.

What you trade decides what you run, and what you run decides the machine.
Most stock and options traders run Thinkorswim or TradeStation with a scanner and a handful of charts. One platform part-time fits the Viper X14; two platforms on four screens fits the Viper Ultra.
Computers for Stock and Options TradersFutures traders watch fast charts and order flow in NinjaTrader and similar platforms, where a frozen tick costs money. Scalpers choose the Gladiator X3D; order flow and automation go to the Dominator AI.
Computers for Futures TradersThese markets never close, so the machine runs long sessions with TradingView and a broker platform open. Two platforms fit the Viper Ultra; three or more go to the Chart Breaker.
Computers for Forex TradersFunded traders often trade from two places and run the firm's platform next to their own. The Odyssey 18" covers two or three platforms; the Excalibur 18" is a desk in a bag.
Why Funded Traders Blow Up on LiveBots and AI models need cores and memory that stay free while your charts update. The Dominator AI is built for bot builders, order flow and AI trading.

See Monitor PackagesThis new trading computer has exceeded my expectations. It boots up lickety-split and execution of NinjaTrader and Interactive Brokers Trader Workstation is so much better than my old Dell. The four screens allow me to see everything at once so I don’t have to swap windows all the time. The five-year parts and labor warranty gives me peace of mind. Thanks for providing such an awesome machine.
The computer I ordered came as promised. The build/delivery was fast. The communication was great throughout the ordering process. Eddie was always available to help via email or phone. When I received it, I had a few questions setting it up and the tech support line was extremely helpful in resolving any issues I had. So far, I’m very happy with Eddie’s computer.
My experience with EZ Trading computers was Excellent! When I called to ask questions, Eddie answered the phone and I ordered my computer on the spot. Fastest computer I’ve ever owned!
