Trading from and Office or at home??

[mmmarkus]

As an earlier poster mentioned, when one trades in the same place as you eat, sleep and watch TV, there is no change in environment. Where is the balance?
An office environment where traders are working, sharing, and have similar goals and objectives, would be more conducive to trading.
I have traded in isolation for years. Initially it was OK, but the lack of interaction has gotten to me, causing me to consider other careers, even though trading is still a source of income.

I believe it depends alot on your personality and your needs.

No one respects trading cos there is zero barrier to entry.

Quote from cashmoney69:

Wife and kids should respect the fact that this is your JOB. If

they, (especailly the wife), cant understand that, then I'd say

there's a problem. No one's gonna kick me out of my own house,

nor should I feel the NEED to leave.

Quote from cstfx:

I forced the issue with my wife and now I opened an office and trade from there with similarly like minded people

cstfx,

Is there any trading desk space for rent available within this office?
