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

no and never compromise your accounts from other internet server and also never compromise your companies file also in this way everyone will keep safe.

i have once tried to do trading at work but after that there is a thread crosses me here in forum saying that using other internet is not safe so i decide not to have done in other area than my house.

though now i know that my trading desire has ended instead i will choose Holding since then.

Indeed, I once used an office computer for crypto affairs and often did because I was lazy to bring a laptop from home for work. I trade on office computers in various exchanges and I feel safe because my office computer is just me that uses it, and at the office only I deal with crypto. My friends don't know what crypto is all this time.

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.

There will be a distraction if we will execute our trade in a kind of environment that we are not used to trade. I only prefer to trade at home because of the convenient feeling where I can strategize and think very well. But there are professional trader who trained theirselves to trade in all type of environment. That kind of trader in the another level and we can only achieve it through experience and studying.

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.

I think it is a high risk strategy to use work PCs especially if you have a phone to hand but if you felt it was safe and your PC was protected and nothing untoward happened afterwards then that was good.

Does your employer use any key-stroke software or have T/Cs stipulating what you can and cannot do on work PCs?

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.

Well, if you have a job as a trader then by definition you are just doing your job and you could easily trade your own account and make money that way and most people will never realize this, but if that is not the case and I guess that is the case for most people, I really think it is a bad idea to trade at your job, if you do it you could easily be fired since you are doing something else with the purpose to obtain a financial gain and you are not doing your job correctly because of it.

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. Wink

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.

I completely agree with your point of view, if your job is linked to crypto in any way, that would give you the background knowledge and you will be more comfortable in dealing with both at the same time. If you are from a completely different field like literature or science than you will not have any knowledge about exchanges and trade. This will require much effort from your side. There will be more chances of errors from your side in both types of work.

Maybe some employers legally use devices on network to see what is going on, others might use keystroke capture software or devices - so it is not a good idea to use a third party PC to access your trading account whether at work or anywhere else.

I would stick to using safe laptops or PC in your own home just to be on the safe side.

When you are applying to a company it is important to know and understand all of the rules and how they treat their employees so you can have an idea if it is advisable to do trading at your office. Most of the companies are not that strict that they monitor every small activity of their employees so I think it is good to trade at work but to make sure you are safe, just bring a pocket wifi and a decent laptop so you will not get monitored.

Yes sometimes, only have the time to trade and when there is a chance to buy or sell coins.. because my company not watching my activity everytimes, and i think no problem during not bother my mainly work. it can be another source income for me its mean this i can get double profit for my self.

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.

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!

We don't know with bitcoin up and down suddenly and have trade during working or not, I make alarm notification on application checking of bitcoin and alcoin price, when price is up I know from alarm notification and I can open trading for selling or buying, we can't prediction with bitcoin price will grow up when we sleep or we are working.

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.

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.

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.

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.
