Dude. I trade futures retail and have enough leverage to make $500 from MUCH less than $10k. Anyways, trading from work is not gonna work out. So quitting is something that has to happen sometime in the future.
Dude (sarcastically) u have no clue what you are talking about. You telling someone to quit their job and you only have 10K. What is $500 u call that money u must live at home with mommy.
Some of these people are novices, it made evident by their comments. Retail over is Prop are u serious.
hmmm...okay. First I said Dude because you sound like a kid in their first year at a prop firm. Second I'm dead serious. If you know how to trade you don't need that much leverage to make good money.Quote from jb3398:

I would run TeamViewer on my PC at home and on my phone or tablet. TeamViewer is a remote desktop application that allows you to view and control your home PC from anywhere there is network connectivity.

You don't know what your talking about. Don't listen to this person suggesting retail over prop.
Wait, I thought you were in a sweatshop, but it sounds like you are an engineer. Ummm, engineers make good money. Perhaps you should find a new company and build up your engineering experience. It doesn't sound like you are trying too hard. Unless you are absolutely sure of your trading, and know that edge will hold for the next 10-20 years...it would be better to save up some money from your engineering job and then go make some big money on the market after you got like 50k-100k trading money to start.

I got an email recently that people are no longer allowed to bring laptops to work. It's an obvious response to my boss catching me on my laptop and assuming I'm not working when in reality I was using a few seconds to glance at the charts. But I don't think I can argue this.
Technically, I don't need the job but it helps pass the time and alleviate some of the pressure to make money for rent and bills. In response I'm now considering quitting as my job is during trading hours and I've missed some good moves due to the job too.
I could try swing trading as an alternative.
So, does everyone think it's time to quit? Or maybe switch to swing trading? What other ideas are there that I can do?
Also, my boss is female. Don't know if that's important. Just mentioning it.
Also, it's a small company with no opportunities to move up.
Now technology allows you to handle matters on even cell phone and not overexpose via laptop etc.
a)
I like how the OP talks about how the company doesn't treat him fairly and then he is purposely trying to get fired (hurt the company) so that he can get unemployment (which btw the govt charges the company for).
