Working From Home: Is It Really A Dream?

We’ve heard it many times… you know, the Forex dream. Waking up, making yourself a tasty coffee and jumping (or not, your choice) from your bed to the living room to turn on your laptop and trade a few hours a day. Sounds amazing, right?

Despite the fact that Forex dream is totally reachable, it is not easy to get there. And also, most people don’t pay much attention to the downside of working from home (and yes, there is a downside).

While these factors shouldn’t turn you down, you must consider them before switching to the Forex home-based trader lifestyle.

Not having a proper working space

Do you think employers like to pay for an office? I am not sure. The thing is… (and please save the millennial speech) offices help us work better.

There is a big discussing on whether offices help employees to focus on their jobs or actually, distract them. I am not entering into that endless exchange of arguments, but I believe we can all agree on one positive aspect of office environments: relation with people.

When you are new on the job, working in an office it’s actually a pretty good thing. You can learn on daily basis from your coworkers, consult actively with your bosses and develop valuable connections with people related to your industry.

Suggestion: as the number of freelance and remote workers is rapidly increasing, coworking spaces are opening at the speed of light all around the world. Keep an eye on your local guide and check if there are any places of such kind for financial workers.

Distractions is another aspect that traders should keep in mind when working from home. Believe it or not, having the bed a few meters from your desk or living room table is dangerous (especially on rainy, cold days).

And yes, you can choose when to work with Forex, but we all know that in order to become a successful trader, constancy is key. Are you up for the challenge of not taking a nap?
