Do you ever trade at work?

[Darooghe]

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

It depends on the type of job and the nature of the instruments you trade, but it is totally possible. Personally, during small breaks every hour or so I check my phone and surface but since I trade the 4H charts and up that means I really only check at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. GMT+2 roughly. If the situation didn't change and I can't place a trade I wait another 4 hours so it doesn't interfere too much with my work and they don't care too much as long as the work gets done.

Yes i did, nothing to emberassed because it's usual thing to doing trades whatever our job is in this era. But i usually change my connection to my personal connection for safety purpose but my collega are knowing that i'm trading at work

Using the public network when trading at work is precisely not a good idea but i don't support the act of trading at work because it something i have before and it lead to me losing my job. However, this is one of the reason i don't support the act of spending much time on trading.

for me trading at work using an office computer, of course, cannot focus on the work we do and cannot have full control over the trade we make, it shows a lack of professionals at work and cannot appreciate the boss because when we are at office fully time we must be able to focus on the work we do so as not to disappoint the existing work team

If you are doing office works and you are already familiar with what you are doing then why not, you can always do what you need to do for as long you know how to manage your time, I have known a lot of people who can do this so why not. Actually, I am doing posting at work if I do have the chance, I make sure to finish my job first then that's the time I will post if there is time.

Honestly, I don't have any job right now so I have my full time on managing my trade. But if I do have the job I won't use my computer to trade because I do believe that it is a bad habit beside we are being monitored. You could only use your computer to check the chart but it is a terrible idea to use it on trade. You could also do it on your break but not in working hours because if you get caught you could lose your job.

Seriously, if you are into this business and you are really dedicating your time finding the right entry you'll going to use whatever resources that you have just to create your position. You don't want to lose the opportunities even you are at work and there's no restrictions or the site are open for your to access you'll take it. Maybe there's still different opinions about this but for those who are really got addicted with trading it's not impossible to do it.

that is true , no matter there is a strict rules in your workplace there is a way to break out of it for for reasons.

especially if you had a boring workpaper , trading could make your brain fresh . yes as long as you not go allin and lost all of your positions  , but it could be a bad idea when you do it in a rush , instead having your brain refreshed , you will get stressed from just bored lol.
a very strict rules workplace will prevent you doin this , you don't want to get sacked because of that single click to open binance right?

I don't trade at work as I think it is a terrible idea to trade in the office with your work computer as the IT guys always know if there something else going on in your computer and that can lead to you getting fired and also that many of my colleagues think that bitcoin is a bad thing used for illicit purposes. So I avoid talking about bitcoin with them.

Yes I have done trading at work and I am still doing it whenever I get time but it is difficult to keep your terminal open in office hours for a long time so trading during work should be very selective.If you already have your template set and if you can analyze the trade within a small span of time then only you should attempt to trade else trading should not done during free time only. Trading needs lot of concentration, a proper homework should have been done to select a potential trade so that it takes a few minute to check the complete setup during working hours.

Yes if it is legal in your country and your work place can allow you to trade then you are like a feee bird to trade and ensure that you do in limit as your priority should be work and. Or trading else it can impact your review and performance in long run.

It will require sufficient time thats why you should not let yourself in a hurry on making trades.If its prohibited
then better not to trade or make use of office computer if it does allowed then its your choice on what to do but
do it on a vacant or non busy days.Checking or setting it up wont really consume too much time but make it
sure that you can do things on flicker.

I think trading at work is a terrible idea in the sense that work environment does not really give you the time required to do your trade analysis and place trades, as office task can be very demanding (depending on the kind of work you do.) But if your work is not a busy one and not tasking, you can actually do your trades there.

It isn't terrible to trade even while at work. It is a nice experience to start with because while at work, you have the opportunity to make additional money. Again, leaving your trade because you at work might give you some losses. I think if there is chance at work to trade and make more money, that is good.

I do not go to work anymore and work as a freelancer now and obviously I do trade while at home doing my freelance work as well however back when I was going to work and was in an office I did more than just trading, I was a bit comfortable because I had my own room (normally a whole teams office but they moved their office somewhere better so I got stuck all alone in a huge space) so I was capable of trading, gambling, watching movies, even downloaded games to my computer with the help of IT (computer wasn't allowing, he bypassed the admin rights lol). That is actually the biggest reason why I have been involved with bitcoin for many years since the early days of bitcoin, I was so bored at work that one day I saw something about bitcoin going up and ever since that day I have been involved.

I think that would be a bad idea to multitask trading plus your commitment to do your job while at work. You might miss some opportunities because you aren't focus enough on trading because your boss calls you. It would be great if you full time your trading when you aren't doing something like in work to maximize your potential to gain profit.

[ubercool]

Have done it in the past but only when necessary like I used to have lots of notifications on prices and when I get a good profit on my trade then why not use the computer and complete the trade..!! My company doesn't really care unless you don't complete your work in time so it was never an issue for me.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

This is such a funny question--funny because it makes so much sense to me, and I relate to anyone asking it. 

I don't really do much trading in general, and I haven't traded crypto at work, but I've spent a lot of time fooling around on the work computer with various crypto things, so that sort of counts I guess.  Only a hardcore crypto addict could understand the need to do this, so I guess I'd have to put myself into that category.  It used to be the stock market that I'd have pulled up all the time on my job's computer, but that was years ago and now it's all about bitcoin for me.

It isn't terrible to trade even while at work.

Not terrible, but jobs tend to frown on using their time and computers to screw around with bitcoin.

[bitbunnny]

I don't think that is good idea. If you trade at work you can't be concentraded on either of these two and results will not be good. Serious trading demands full dedication.
I can support trading at work only in emergency situations when you don't actually have don't choice but that shouldn't be regular practice. Also you might have problems if your employer founds out about it.

[hahay]

It's not a bad idea when we just check the market and a little to do something, but not to do trades that are routinely done as usual at the place or when working, other than that if there is someone who is comfortable to do that regularly while working then isn't it means it's something or a bad idea, because as long as we feel comfortable doing it while busy at work I think it goes back to the position and busyness that is owned by each individual and remains to have good control when the pressure is increasing because of doing many things at the time same time we will split the focus which of course it will make emotions unstable.

I do trade at work since it is very easy for me to trade because of the mobile application of Binance. I use their app and blockfolio, so I can monitor the flow of the market and also the value of my trading portfolio. I think that other people should do this also in order to gain some profit while they are at their main source of income.
