I work at a stock brokerage and I can confirm this is exactly the screen layouts these people have. By these people I’m talking about day traders I don’t actually know what this person is doing.
And yes they do look across all of those screens. I sat next to a guy who had six screens arranged in 3x2, the way he explained it he has all sorts of programs mostly in the domains of communication and news and he doesn’t even look at the other screens but when something moves it triggers his peripheral vision and he acts on it. Another day trader I know has nine screens in 3x3 but he only uses the bottom half of his screen real estate because he can’t read the top, he just likes having a big rectangular-like screen.
It’s all about peripheral vision to these kinds of professionals. They are 100% not looking at all of those screens, they just need to set up things to react to.
This guy is a meme though nobody is reacting to something happening right above your head.
