Life of a Trader



As a Fixed income, Interest rate Trader you spend hours next to your computer. Day becomes night, night becomes day and you lose yourself in bonds, treasuries , Eurodollar and lots more, your eyes are rotating continuously 360 degree through out the day across multiple screens, your ears are hearing the news and brain system converting these news into fruitful trades. every Penny we earn adds a drop in our empty sea of dollars and really make us feel good. 
Trading is amazing, exciting and thrilling job, but so many people lose track of their lives and get too much involved in trading and i m one among them during the initial days of my trading war. 
The most widely acknowledged problem is overeating. Either you forget to eat at all and then approach your office pantry like tropical cyclone or you constantly nosh on everything you lay your eyes on (well, more like your fingers, since your eyes are too busy looking at charts).
