Many Day Traders choose to work from their own home, rather than in the office of a trading firm, after reviewing the pros and cons. This may be possible once a trader has had enough experience, with a positive proven track record. Some family circumstances might be dictating the choice, but whatever the reason, there are advantages and benefits to both arrangements. If you know what they are up front, you can prepare and set yourself up for success.
The greatest advantage of working from home is flexibility. Flexibility to be available to care for family, sick loved ones, or maybe you are pursuing your own dreams in between some down time. Just recognize flexibility for what it is, the availability to be there for family when you need to, but it is also an opportunity to slip into comfortable habits that could cause you to miss out on important market activity. Flexibility must be managed so that distractions do not cut into your working time.
Working from home requires discipline, and especially in the field of Day Trading. Home traders must be paying attention and ready to go when the market gets into the swing of first morning trades. The market moves pretty fast, some days more than others, and you are likely to miss something important if you walk away at an inopportune time.
This is where being surrounded by colleagues watching the market with you is beneficial. When in the office and surrounded by experienced traders, you get multiple views of the market which allows you to share opinions with other traders, collaborate and gain confidence in your trades.
What all of this boils down to is that the home Day Trader must possess certain personal characteristics of a strong work ethic and self-motivation in order to trade from home with high performance results. Focus on your task at hand is imperative for successful trading, multi-tasking personal tasks while trading is not recommended.
