Do you ever trade at work?

[potatopower]

I was trading from work before, I was essentially trading at home all day and at work I was watching price most of the times, but there were so many openings and if I didn't trade I would have to miss going to work. When I didn't trade there, I would have to leave work absolutely. Basically, after two days of trading I doubled my btc holdings at that time. I suppose either I've taken the next day off or it's been the weekend. I've been sleeping for more than 2 days. I traded from work  and nobody said anything because there was no rule against it and I was doing it.

I've tried it on my work computer a couple of times, but mostly I trade with my phone because it's more convenient and I can trade anywhere I'm as long as there's an internet connection. I don't think it's a terrible idea as long as the computer you're using is fully protected and the anti-virus has been updated and you're also making sure you log out whenever you don't use it, especially if the work computer is common to anyone at work to make sure that nobody can use your account.

The problem is can you focus on both tasks? Anyone can do both but not all, it's a terrible idea if you can't do your job properly because of trading.
Having a job gives you a stable income and if you lose that then it will also put your trading at risk because you have no source of funds.

Being well blanced types of person will give you this priveledge but like what you have said, it's not everyone who can deal with this and if you
failed to keep your time in the right way both sides of your sources of incomes will be ruined to the point that you'll be losing both.
Assess and keep being focus use your time in the right way and in the place and time.

Yes, it is simply hard to focus on two tasks at a time. Most of the traders who go on trading at work weren't professional traders. Only the professional traders requires more time, as it is the primary earning for their living. When someone has got a work it'll be enough to meet the life needs. Trading is secondary source upon which less time or leisure time is enough.

it's good to trade in your spare time, so that your brain does not focus on two branches (trading and office work), because trading is not an easy problem. After all, office computers can usually be accessed by anyone (fellow employees), aren't you afraid that the computer you use turns out to have malware that is ready to eliminate assets in your trading account? be careful friend.

Specifically during break time, and a lunch break. But not really trading but checking the portfolio and price updates.BTW, I am using my phone for checking because its not good yo used the company's resources during working hours for personal gain /purposes.

but if anyone has done it I think it is a very risky activity because if caught by the boss then most likely the person will be scolded

not only scolded in my opinion, the biggest risk is to be fired, because it violates office rules, and besides that it violates office hours that should work but is used for personal gain, but it would be a different story if the company owner also trades, I think this can be an advantage, because it can be close to the owner of the company because it has the same hobby.

Sometimes it might depend on how urgent your current assignment is at work, but regardless of the conditions on what you're doing you shouldn't be caught by your boss doing other things unless he or she is like a close of you although that is kinda biased for your co-workers, it would still be best to avoid it. You're earning anyway in your job so you could just take it as a part time at home.

This is about how we divide time, and of course the priority is the work that is in the office, I have also done the same thing, but I do it when work in the office is done and I have free time, there I use the opportunity to trade. I don't often do things like that because I really should focus on work in the office and don't let the office target not be reached.

what if someone knows about crypto and tries to spy on your account if you log in at work? I'm worried about that. I better do it on a mobile phone, because there are many trading applications that are good enough to use anywhere.

only little company that runs on the trading. so just small chance that the trading support by company. i think its mistake if people do trading in working time because like you said that is only profitable by personal. in the market there is stop loss option you can use it to make easy your trade without do trade in working time

Yes at every workplace people get free time and thru use time as they easy to use there will be no restrictions. So I use to enjoy my free time with trading and learning about trading because its good for my financial problems because in my office I get more than two hours for lunch and relaxation so at this time I can trade better to be a good trader.

Two hours for lunch and break better to use rest your feeling and make new inspirations for the next your working than trading. but another people has own choice with their activity maybe if they are trading in break time it can bring new inspirations for them, can make their feeling happy because get double profit from their company and their trade. during not disturb your work, its back to own person

If you are doing a job that does not involve much physical activity and mental working. If you feel yourself fresh and workaholic you can go for trading. It is not easy to manage if you are doing a tough job. It also depends upon the resources available and the knowledge of the person. If you can manage than this would also give you extra profit, makes more money for yourself.

Agree with your opinion, it is risky trading at work and using an office computer. Your first risk is likely fired from work because our boss found
out by using office facilities for personal gain. The second risk since computers in the office are widely accessed by many people, then not only
is the threat affected by malware but there is a possibility we forget to log out our account. If our colleague is found out to be dishonest, you can
lose the capital and profits that you have already obtained from trading.

sometimes it is necessary to keep away from trading on computers that many people access, I think more if talking about funds it would be better to use a personal computer. if talking with money it would be better to keep doing their activities privately rather than having to steal time when in the office. or if you want to trade while working, it is better to use a Mobile device.

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.

Yes, distraction will not help you. When trading, we need maximum concentration. because we need to seriously analyze the chart and if we are distracted by some other factors, our decision making will be inaccurate. I used to do that at the coffee shop, when I was addicted to trade and it was really silly. As a result, I did not serve the best and my trade results were not good. after that boss also fired me and I was extremely embarrassed. So I recommend you only do 1 job at a time, don't try to trade while you have to do something else.

Trading could never be done in office hours. If we look more deeply then I think that it does depend upon the kind of job that you are doing. There are many people out there who work at places related to the finance such as the banking systems or others. They do get benefit because they can easily trade at work. In fact, their job benefits them as it is much relatable to the crypto market.

Yes, we can trade at work and if we get free time in working place we can use that time for trading I like to trade at break time or at lunchtime. Carrying phones all the time at work can make you get in black so stay careful about it and always trade-in free time only so you will not suffer from anything and will be able to trade easily.

This will also affect your trade badly. As office computers are monitored, someone else can get your confidential data. They can adopt your keys. There is a big risk of losing your trade. Your mind will be split between the two and you will not be able to excel in any field. In order to gain good results give your whole attention to work when you are at work lace and involve yourself in trading after that.

yes you are right sometimes the computers of offices are under the control of the office head and nobody knows that when will the head find out your all data and may get greedy about your asset, i think this is the most private thing to be treat, i always open my accounts in my personal computer in my home not outside so that my asset must be my secret.

[Ferris419]

Yes, I do, even I do trade in my class! Because you never know when the price will go up suddenly! If the price goes down, I trade to convert into USDT or sell, even two days ago, I did a trade in my Parasitology class, lol!  It's all about you. If you can manage your works with the trade then do it. But it can not help you most of the time, because trade needs passion and attention!

Of course, it's good to be able to work and trade in parallel, but it all rests on quality, if you were able to spend enough time and learned to trade on the plus side - then you are the winner.

I am worker in factory two years a go and doing trading at work, mostly using mobile phone. Not easy but several time I can get best moment for trading and get profit. I don't recommended to trade while work because that's break factory rules and difficult to get focus.

You know, in your case you can say that you masterfully turn your time into double profit, trading at work is expensive).
