To add on to Steve Alexander's post, lots of online interaction these days can be done without leaving home. To OP, why waste the money renting an office if social interaction is what you want? Forums like elitetraders are free. A better reason would be to look respectable. Working from home makes one look like a jobless loser. Working from office makes one look gainfully employed.
I f you are trying to sell something, looking respectable is useful. If you trade for a living, where you do it is irrelevant.
I agree with your logic. However, human psychology is not logical all the time. Paying to look respectable is not financially rational for one-man-show traders but it boosts their ego. Nobody wants to look like a jobless loser. So, perhaps looking good will make them feel good which in turns improve trading profits? Hard to quantify that effect.
Doesn't make sense unless I can have three huge HD monitors set up, and superior connectivity of some kind (dedicated line, redundant connections, etc.) I have to watch bonds, indexes, news feeds, and have three different charting software going. How would I do this in some kind of casual office or open public area....not possible.
Another option in Oslo for co-working, or dedicated, or virtual space is https://www.regus.com/ I had a Regus "membership" a few years ago for space in the USA. I traveled/migrated between multiple states, and it worked for me at the time. A quick check a moment ago shows they have several locations in Oslo, but I do not know anything about the plans offered for them. Ultimately, I decided it did not augment my trading, but it did produce a form of legitimacy to being a trader in social settings. fwiw, I met many non-trading people/businesses, but no other traders. HTH
I used to always trade only at home because there was no point in renting an office. After a year of work, my money turnover increased and I could no longer cope with work alone, also I had to devote more time to work, and at home I was often distracted by relatives. I decided to find a person from my city who is also engaged in trade alone so that we can work together and do everything in time. We decided to rent an office in order to increase our efficiency and not be distracted. I also read a couple of articles about the importance of comfortable office furniture and we decided to order it here https://furnicraft-ae.com/ and we are completely satisfied with our choice. In our office is comfortable and cozy.
Hello everyone Your first office I rented it when I was at the institute. Almost none of my relatives and friends understand why I need all this.
Hello everyone Your first office osdoro.com.sg I rented it when I was at the institute. Almost none of my relatives and friends understand why I need all this. After all, the specifics of my business are such that I can easily do all the work without leaving home, on the computer.But I have a different opinion, a different character. I just can't work properly at home. And then I could blame everything on the lack of a workplace or on the fact that my household is interfering with me. But no, that's not the point at all.I just couldn't concentrate properly. I only pay for the room, the rest of the expenses, such as utilities, maintenance, Wi-Fi and other fees, we pay together with other companies in this office. I want to say that I managed to increase the efficiency of the staff in one office, while the costs are minimal.
