I have never used a standing desk and have no plans of doing it. In the long run, using it when you are trading is not healthy. You will be used to it and might just even stand most of the time when things become more serious. Health is wealth as well so it should be considered.
If trading is your profession, maybe buying a standing desk is fine, and then put it in the kitchen when you are busy cooking or doing something. But after the regular chores, it would be better to return to a more relaxing desk.

Haha, Op, it seems like you've fantasized about trading too much, as in trading what matters is your skills, your decision-making, your experience & is your risk management. Whether you are standing or not it doesn't matter, you've been using 4 screens or 3 doesn't matter all these are the facilities, not the necessities.
Op I cant authenticate your experience but I'm sure even after spending much time you are inexperienced because such type of redundant topics cant be crated by an expert. Op I really don't want to discourage but the perks are you talking about own 0 weightage in the trading zone. I want to ask an innocent question How fast the decision-making can be on the standing desk does it provide the flash power to watch all the possible outcomes, or does it slow down the time for you to think better? Health is a good concern but in trading regardless of physical health, they need to take care of their mental health because trading makes trader tier not because of physical involvement but just because of their brain power consumption.
There are some people who want to perfect everything in their brain before they start doing something, which isn't how something is done. You just jump right into it and start doing it and if you ever feel like you face any troubles then you are going to end up doing something about it.Op I cant authenticate your experience but I'm sure even after spending much time you are inexperienced because such type of redundant topics cant be crated by an expert.

I personally believe that the best thing to do would be making sure that we are ending with a return that would be personally the best, and for that to happen we need to first start. Others will tell you something but you can't make all that much money from what others are telling you, you need to make sure that you are doing a lot better by testing it yourself and to test it you need to first start doing it. I believe that afterwards you will realize what's wrong, could be regarding your trading, could be chair, could be desk, could be monitors, whatever it is, you are going to end up with something that would benefit you the long term when you figure it out yourself.
It varies from person to person and from your ability to trade, but I personally prefer to choose an office, a room, or a separate place at least to make your body adhere to some kind of seriousness, because the feeling of standing or not having a separate and specific place suggests that you can trade at any time and therefore it is not something that you are committed to.

Go with trading intra day, you might need these things but I find all these are a waste. Go with long term trading and you will be able to keep a stable sleep pattern and trade at the same time. The more you go into spot and all those leverage and All the more stress you will have to face.
Why increase that stress with chance of varicose veins and all?
If you feel it's good for you, do it but I don't know ho long in the older age you would be able to continue standing like that. Ergonomic chairs are good as an alternative but the best is to move to long term trading.
Even then a good trader knows when to buy or sell with just a device in any posture.
Maybe we think it's a waste not until we try it and prove that it was really working or it improved the way we trade. I know some will think it's only in our head but there are things who are actually working for real. I think long-term trading was still part of a spot trading.Why increase that stress with chance of varicose veins and all?

And trading is truly a stressful and hard activity especially if you are still starting on it. Even if many of us are only an investor we still find it hard sometimes to get a good sleep because we are over thinking about our assets. We shouldn't elevate the stress that we feel but we should watch our body first. If it's now use to the existing stress that we have, maybe that is the time for us to level it up.
In the world of cryptocurrency trading, where every minute counts, the choice between a standing desk and a traditional chair can be a topic of hot debate. I've spent 15 years on trading floors, and I've experienced both sides of the spectrum. Standing desks have their perks, offering potential health benefits and increased alertness, which can be crucial for making quick decisions in the volatile crypto market.
It's true that standing in front of computer is better than having a chair and sit for a long period of time. Doctors tell that it's needed to have a longer standing position than a sitting position. But here's a question for you, fellow Bitcointalk traders: Does standing really help make better and faster decisions in the high-speed trading world? Have you tried it, and did it work for you? Or do you believe that the comfort of a super ergonomic chair is the key to staying sharp during those long trading hours? Let's dive into this discussion and share our insights on finding the perfect balance between health and productivity in the crypto trading world.

Being fit has its benefits for sure and it's not just standing but whichever you prefer to make yourself more alert and have a clearer mind, that's what you should do.Whether you are in a sitting position as it helps you more relax than standing. The choice differs and depending on the situation of every trader.

Maybe in a commercial setting people sometimes use standing desks however I am pretty sure with most retail traders, they just use a regular desk and sit. Especially since its located inside their home and they might want to watch a movie and doing that while standing would be uncomfortable.
Last time I went to IKEA they had a desk which basically had a height setting and you could adjust the height. So it can be standing and sitting just by moving the lever. These aren't that expensive and its a better solution than getting a standing desk which you might get tired off after a few weeks and then have to buy another desk.

I was stunned to read that there are such topics that need discussion. I mean, analysis and the study of a token need proper time relaxation, and comfort, and when you do that in a standing position, you will definitely get tired, and in the end, you might make some mistakes during the analysis, which would hurt you in the form of lose. We definitely cannot ignore the benefit of standing because it is good for our health. But definitely not for trading.I have a question for the OP, if he tried both ways of trading, like sitting on the chair or standing, then why shift to only one method? Why not use both ways to do trading? Like you did on the floor. You must have seen many traders standing in the trading when they exhausted themselves due to laziness and tiredness from sitting for a long time.
And you must have a chair to do the analysis when you are tired of standing out. I hope you are getting my points, dear OP.

But if you really want to tweak your trading conditions, start from the basics. As with better health and better life, you can concentrate better. Using brain power is wears you out. You need to be able to snap out of it and keep other valuable things in your life than just work.
Remember to utilize free time well. Exercise, sleep well, eat healthy, practise midfulness or anything that relaxes your mind. Work on your psychological issues and balance your time you have for your work / love / family / friends / alone time. Because health comes from balanced life, mind and body. Not from tricks. You might have as much time for work as you would want, but surely you want to enjoy your life too? It isn't all making as much money as you can if life is otherwise empty.
I have tried a standing desk before and i have to say it felt pretty good, felt way more awake and alert, also back didnt hurt at all. I would prefer it for working but for gaming i would still sit down. Right now im still at a regular seated desk but once i find a good standing desk with a good price i will switch over for sure (ideall a adjustable desk with many hight levels).
it would be healthier if you apply both, when you are tired you can sit and when you are focused you can stand (you will not be able to stand sitting for a long time and standing for a long time), but from several professionals in the trading field that I asked, they said it was more comfortable to trade while standing because it was more focused, maybe you could try it yourself and find out which one is more comfortable for you personally.

I didn't know this could be a topic and I haven't got your point of making quick decisions by using a standing desk.
It depends on the user's desires and requirements. A desk that can change its highest can be a good option. If you think you want to work standing or sitting on a chair you can do that. Sometimes I also feel like it would have been convenient for me if I could change my body position frequently when working in front of my desk. I have seen this kind of desk is available in the Amazon store.

I don’t know what you mean by ergonomic chair but, I think a high level of comfort could prevent you from making any hasty decision which wouldn’t be the case when your trading while standing. It isn’t something I’ve tried but, I just know one doesn’t make the best of decision in a standing position. There are comforts, calmness and proper tools to this shit.Just how do you use your tools in a standing position?
It just doesn’t seem okay to me and it’s not something I’m willing to try either. A more sitting position would have the greater advantage.

But such cases are totally rare, and we can not just stand for such trades, because we don't know for how long we have to stand to make a quick reaction and we might get tired and in the end, we might miss the chance of reacting quickly and lose the opportunity.
But to be honest, I really liked the idea of health because standing does make us healthy but standing trading is not what we need instead a healthy lifestyle is what we need.

My bots don't really care if they work at a booth table or not, they are always damn fast in executing the trades But here's a question for you, fellow Bitcointalk traders: Does standing really help make better and faster decisions in the high-speed trading world?
Joking aside ... I had some of my most successful, directly executed trades on the smartphone in the subway, the worst trades in a large trading center with tens of screens. Not directly executed trades run anyway via bots (as certainly at least 90% of all trades), these are simply unbeatable when it comes to the fastest possible decisions. In some markets, a real battle for the best bot with the fastest decision algorithms has broken out.
For the general daily business work, I agree with you, here standing desks are unbeatable. Less because of the attention or concentration ability, much more for health reasons ... So I can only warmly recommend the tables to anyone who works several hours a day at the PC. The desks are also not as expensive as they were back then, at $500 upwards you can already get quite usable work desks.
Both of them do not affect trading directly, but rather on the trader’s decisions, which if they are affected by psychological factors such as trading after eating, or in the morning, or after the end of work, or before sleep, you need to control your emotions, as the greater the conviction that doing a certain psychological thing before trading means that you will make profits is a big mistake.
Get a place with good lighting and a comfortable chair, and you can think about trading decisions while walking or running according to the way you find suitable for you to think and make appropriate trading decisions.

You make a valid point about the importance of controlling emotions and psychological factors in trading. Having a comfortable workspace with good lighting is essential for maintaining focus. As for the preference between a standing desk or a mix of standing and seating, it seems that both can work, provided you manage your emotions effectively.
However, if we're taking out all other factors like sleep, diet, and exercise, I might lean towards a mix of standing and seating. This way, you can enjoy the benefits of increased alertness from standing while also having the option to sit when needed for a more relaxed and composed trading experience. But it's always fascinating to see how different traders find what suits them best. What's your personal preference, and why?

I find that standing makes me more mentally alert and allows me to make decisions faster, whereas sitting makes me feel slower.
However, I usually limit myself to one or two trades, because too many trades can cause my mind to make bad decisions, which leads to more losses.

That's an interesting perspective! It's great to hear that standing helps boost your mental alertness for faster decision-making. It's crucial to find what works best for your trading style. Do you also use a standing desk for your daily work outside of trading? I'm curious to know if you've experienced similar benefits in other aspects of your work routine.
