I have never done this because my work in the real world is package delivery so I never touched a computer in an office
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
Topic: Do you ever trade at work? - page 6. (Read 3943 times)
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.
I do not know if it is such a good idea to trade in the computer of your job, even if you can secure it and you make sure that it is not infected by viruses if it is discovered that you are trading when you are supposed to be working you are likely to get in trouble, and in the worst case scenario you could be fired and that will be a very difficult situation to be in since very few people can sustain themselves with the money they make trading the markets. legendary

Do you ever trade at work or trade on your work computer?
Mostly I do my trading at home but there are times that whenever I was at work and got a notification on my phone about reaching the target point or reaching the selling point (since i don't subscribe to trading bot) but i'm doing this about 3-5 mins just a really quick buy and sell however doing trading I do it at home. Also, when i'm doing it i'm very careful about doing this because i might be monitored on my pc or I can do it on my break as well.
Any reason why you think this might be a terrible idea?
Whenever at work you supposed to work and offer your time to the work and if they caught you you might get a warning or maybe you would be fired in worst case scenario, I think avoid it as much as you can.Also if you work at university, your schedule is quite relaxed and you have time in between your research work or lab work to check the charts and so on. Obviously not during your lectures though.
I traded at work more than once. The truth is that having a diverse portfolio, I understand very well that at any time I can get a signal about a sale or purchase, depending on where the market trend will go.
Obviously, I do not want to miss this moment, especially because of the work. This can not be called day trading, but rather a rearrangement of stops or profit taking.
Well then this is one’s practice or ability of multitasking. Especially if you are into a trade that requires you to pay attention timely like you have to check the values like in crypto, you have to look close to all the ups and downs you can mark figures for you and then can check the important one while job. Obviously, I do not want to miss this moment, especially because of the work. This can not be called day trading, but rather a rearrangement of stops or profit taking.
not just might but it is a terrible idea .
why ? simply because you are working and if you have work you shall only foccus on it . what if your boss and other workmates caught you opening an exchange and doing trade . see ? you will get punish or worst you can get fired . would you love to exchange your trading career on your job ? if that is what you want and you think trading is your passion then you should quit working so that you can foccus more on your trades .
I have never done this, because I know where I have to put myself between work and also my side income. so I will trade outside of my work hours and also when I am at university, and I personally trade and monitor the market in the morning and also when I want to take a rest.

I never did it and personally that was a very bad idea,
because it is very dangerous if trading on a public internet connection, especially on an office computer, this is very risky for theft and the data and funds in the exchanged account,

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.
That's not being fair to the company of whatever business type you are working, you are spending your work time for your personal agenda. haha.
actually I am also guilty with that in the past, but I don't do it many times, I stopped doing it when I realize that when trading we need to focus more and we can't do that at work since our job should be our main focus.
either your performance in trading would improve but your performance or output in your job should definitely decrease.

Why will you want to trade at work when you already know that you will not give 100% attention to your trading, even during coffee break, it's better to relax the mind after some stressful hours at work than to use such break in trading. Trading on work computer is totally a bad idea in my opinion, once you get addicted to it at work, you keep on checking your portfolio movements and such activities will definitely affect your performance at work, because your mind will be diversified and we all know trading is all about profit or loss, you cannot win always, when at loss, this will hinder your performance at work whenever you check your trade calls, it's best to not trade at work in my opinion

trade at work is definitely a big mistake. Because no one can do 2 things at the same time, so your main job and trade will be greatly affected. If you find yourself better at trading, just trade and stop doing official work. or you want to do both things, you should trade only when you are free. That is the secret to help you trade 50% better. Do you ever trade at work or trade on your work computer? Any reason why you think this might be a terrible idea?
To be honest, i never actually have done trading while doing my job or at work and on my work computer because i will be really get in trouble to my boss if that happens, but i experience doing trading if i am on a break time on my work computer because i am freely can do whatever i want if i am not in my working hours. 
I have quit from my job and now focus with bitcoin and altcoin as trading and investing or looking other way to earn bitcoin by joining bounty campaign or airdrop project, I can control and manage when working during trading or investing because I can miss many good moment where have to buy and sell assets with good price, when you working you have stop and close you bitcoin exchange account because you can't trading.
I really hope that you do well but you took an incredible risk that in my opinion was completely unnecessary, one of the great advantages of becoming a trader or joining bounty campaigns is that you could do that in your free time after your work, so you could be earning fiat and at the same time earning some cryptocurrencies, this is important because if for some reason one of your sources of income began to go down or disappear you will have the other one to back you up.That is the thing which I want to explain here. The owner of the company or the boss of the company want you to work for him in his timing for that many will keep a check on you which will disturb you and you may lose in your trading. There are some people who are saying that their boss do not keep a check on them which is because they have trust on you and when they found you working even for yourself in their timing then they will start to keep a check on you.
You may lose your momentum when you trade in your work, it will lose your focus in trading, also in company they can easily track what you are doing with your pc even though they will not come to see what you are doing , it will affect your work when they caught you, and you get fired in your work also.

I don't like trading at work because my boss often check your work. Moreover, i cannot focus on 2 things at the same time, so the result will not be good.I have quit from my job and now focus with bitcoin and altcoin as trading and investing or looking other way to earn bitcoin by joining bounty campaign or airdrop project, I can control and manage when working during trading or investing because I can miss many good moment where have to buy and sell assets with good price, when you working you have stop and close you bitcoin exchange account because you can't trading.
well i think it is not a good idea to quit your job and only work for bitcoin or trading because i have once quit my job for trading and also at that time the bounty and the signature campaign was easily available so trading and campaign made so busy that i quit the job but some days came that there was nothing to do that is why again join the job.
