Does anyone trade whilst working?

My firm allows us to deal in ETFs in our PA without approval/limits. I was wondering if anyone trades ETFs (specifically levered) intraday to make a bit of extra cash?

I have my own terminal and so have all the data I need available to me to inform trading decisions.

 

I think it makes more sense to prioritize OPM when you are at work, as the reward potential is greater. I manage swing trading positions outside of work and that is not too hard, the positions last weeks and don't require constant attention. I think it makes more mathematical sense to trade the largest possible account you can access as a professional. If your personal account is larger and more lucrative to trade during work hours, then you might not need to be there.

 

you are trading - time for moneyz. your time for your boss' moneyz - quit shortchanging him

True 

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee

It is true. I'm also a dude who ran a small business while working a W-9 for a couple years largely from work lol.
