I am and I will, well before 45.. But why would I spend time at home making analysis etc if I can do it at work with lots of time to spare..
ha !! This reminded me of myself trading during office hour decades ago. I had to sneak in a small little laptop and HSPA modem, used my own sim card and internet, then trade. Not the right thing to do actually. So I compensate the company by working extra hours I don't like the IB stability / complexity. perhaps you should compare with other trading platform.
Sound too risky to me this trading from work. It will give you a guilty complex. Your work collegues will detect this shit and before you know it you'll be on the street. Suggest trade longer term stuff, place trades before or after work. Use a tablet even and trade during lunch break or in the carpark when you arrive at work or going home.
I was sneaking in some trades at this place I worked. My co-workers started peeking over my shoulder - a year later the office looked like a full-on prop shop. The shop of 5 was trading like crazy, we would rotate one person to answer phones for an hour. I quit a few months later- declaring my paycheck was no longer worth the hassle of commuting and wanted to cash out of my company stock - I was sure the bubble would burst soon - and it did. It was a good job at a fortune 500 company - the arrogance of it all.
OP, maybe you have a dream job except for the internet connection. If it's not a dream job then start looking for another one. Part of my reason for leaving my last job was just this issue. (Not being able to run IB TWS at work). The other reason was I had become underpaid over time. New job was a 12% pay increase, free health care, and wide open internet. Looking for a new job doesn't cost anything.
