Do you ever trade at work or trade on your work computer? Any reason why you think this might be a terrible idea?

Hate to admit it, but I have done that.  I've also used one of the computers at work to post on the forum, and I've done deals for bitcoin as well.  Fortunately my boss really doesn't care as long as the sites we visit aren't going to be putting malware on the computers, and there's a lot of downtime at my job anyway.

On the other hand, I try to use my phone for trading and related activities when I'm at work.  I don't like the idea of leaving a trail on a computer that isn't mine.

Been doing it thru my phone. I created a new profile on tradingview, its easy to create one anyway and then view it on the desktop, I bid on my phone in binance as I have also installed its app. This isn't hard to do actually but you'd be distracted most of the time since you are going take a peek to your phone from time to time specially if you haven't set a sell order yet.

Terrible as it may seem but if your company allowed your to use your phones in the office, you're still going to be doing things in your phone like loging to facebook.

Terrible idea if one of your office rules does prohibit any other form of activity which isnt related to work.Doing trades on your workstation would really put you on trouble once your boss caught you in act.

If you know that it would risk out your job then its better to avoid such thing.On my experience, i have done on doing trades yet im fast enough to press that ALT+TAB thing.

Nah, they dont prohibit doing other things that arent work related. But trading seems a little worse compared to browsing the internet.

I have poloniex and binance app on my phone and that made me to trade both at work and on my way back home. I have not used my office computer to trade as I see it too risky to do that and the office computer is not made for that purpose.

Though I am a student but few months I ago I worked in a office ( project type work) and used that computer to browse bitcointalk and sold my altcoins in a exchanger.Actually office stuff don't know about crypto too much. Also I use incognito tab to use my personal sites

I think a good reason for not trading during work is due to the fact that you can't serve 2 masters at the same time. Also as the saying goes, Jack of all trades, master of none. I would suggest anyone trying this should stop.  It's best to do all things related to work at the workplace and then put 100% of your time when you're at home to trade. I think it'll be more better that way.

Well I do post on this forum using my work computer before, but I just realised that there might be risk on my end so I stopped. And with that said, I don't used my my work computer to do trade as well. So yes I would agree that it is a terrible idea, first the risk and then how can you focus on your trading when a lot of people are around you? And the chance that your boss might see you doing something besides work? You might lose your job here.

I admit that I was doing it but I just doing it when it really needs, and only I did it when I was in the break time.
Of course, we know also the possible risk when are at work, focus and time involved in trading cause it could be different when we are doing it without the hassle and at home. Cause the more time we spend on trading, the more efficient we are.

[DanWork]

I've done it, but not from my work computer, but my own. If you got the free time why not. What you don't want to do is risk doing it when you're not supposed to or when it might interfere with your work.

It wont really be that comfortable to make trades when there are lots of people or co-workers behind you unless if you are on a room with having 2-3 person then i might consider on doing trades while at work but for
a very noisy workplace then it wont be ideal to trade yet distraction level is high and might cause for you to lose money instead on earning.Dont try to fuse up two things because trading and having a work
would really build up stress into your brain yet you're thinking on how to make positions on trade and thinking how to do your day job.Its better to set it aside and do trade when you got home.

No never. I only did that through my phone. It's horrible idea to trade with your office pc, your account would be not safe later. It's better to trade at home, when you are already relaxed rather than trade during your work (your boss could angry because you are doing something else than your job)

Same with me i've only done it on using my phone but it never crosses my mind to trade using our companies computer because yes your boss might caught you and the biggest risk is your information that you are entering in that computer, remember that all of the actions you do on a company computer is tracked and you might be at risk but the thing is some companies don't really let you use the internet on work so you won't be doing it in the first place.

[nicolas1979]

So far I don't do that, I can't like somebody else take two job at one time. I really enjoy when do work just one use the right equipment in right place, once I do two job at the same time the result make me fired. We have different ability and I prefer trading must do after work, don't push to hard you can lost your job.

[V1saya]

I tried it many times. It's not advisable but doable during breaks and as long as it cannot affect your work output. Besides, I already knew what to do. It was more on executions only since I studied already at home the other stuffs.

[maydna]

No, I never trade using a computer at work. I trade on my computer in my home, but I install a tabtrader on my mobile phone, so if I am not at home, I can still check the market or hear the sound of the alarm that I already set. I often to go to someplace, and that makes me cannot use the computer, and I decide to install a tabtrader to trade. I don't use a computer in my work because I don't work at the office. Besides that, I am not sure that our boss will okay if he/she sees what we've done while we are at the office.

[Shasha80]

To be honest I often trade using a computer at work  , because my job is not too busy. Then I like to use empty time
for trading. But after I think this is a bad idea, try to imagine if my boss knew that maybe I would be reprimanded.Or the
worst case scenario might be fired, therefore after considering the risk. I decided that starting this month I will use it just
a personal computer at home to trade.

[LouVandetta]

It's kinda embarassing to admit, but I have done it before, only once though. I always trade using my phone or checking the price whenever I get free time at work, but at one time I forgot my phone, and also forgot to put a stop-loss on my order that I've made before I went to work. So yeah, only that time though.

Since it's not safe for many reasons, especially if your're caught red handed by your superiors lmao or maybe there's a virus lurking around on your pc or things.
After that one time, I tried to be more careful, I changed the password of my exchange account that I've logged in on my work-pc and delete my search history as to prevent unnecessary future problem and all.

[jhonjhon]

I have tried it couple of times in my work computer but mostly I trade using my phone because it is more convenient and I can trade anywhere I am so long as there's an internet connection. I don't think it is a terrible idea so long as the computer you are using is fully protected and it has updated anti-virus and also you make sure that you log out every time you are not using it especially if the work computer is common to anyone at work to make sure that no one will be able to use your account.
