Key Selection Criteria
1. For Day Trading:
- Parsec: Best cost-to-performance ratio ($10/month, 80ms latency).
- *Use:* Competitive Mode (`Ctrl+Shift+Alt+C`) for sub-100ms.
2. For Enterprise Trading Floors:
- Teradici: Military-grade security + 45ms latency.
- *Requires:* NVIDIA/AMD GPU for PCoIP acceleration.
3. For Webinar-Style Monitoring:
- Zoom Pro: Easy attendee management (but locks host PC).
4. For Self-Hosted Privacy:
- RustDesk: Free, but needs IT setup (port forwarding/VPN).

Implementation Guide
1. Parsec Quickstart:
- Texas PC: Install host app → Enable “Hosting” + “Competitive Mode”.
- Your PC: Connect via peer ID → `Ctrl+Shift+Alt+M` to toggle monitors.
2. Zero-Disruption Guarantee:
- On Texas PC:
```powershell
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Parsec" /v "kvm_mode" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f ``` - *Effect:* Mirrors screens without input rights (<3% CPU load).
Emergency Backup
If primary tool fails: 1. Texas user shares Screen 1 via Zoom Free. 2. You view Screen 2 via RustDesk direct IP.
Test latency during pre-market hours
