Great little insight into the traders life! Is it hard to switch off during downtime due to the nature of the work or do you just adapt over time?
Love the old fashioned big button calculator on the desk btw :)

@brian-kho I've been doing it for 7 years, and although I'm not as bad as I was, definitely still wired outside of work. Find myself seeking risk and acting really intense. Not healthy, definitely not a life job.
Yeah, the old school calculator is a funny story. One of the old school traders gave it to me on my first day, And I thought to myself 'wow, how out of touch is this guy?' I had a scientific one, but when I tried to use it I kept 'fat fingering' when I was stressed.
It's amazing how bad your maths can be/and how fat your figures become when your under intense pressure, couldn't do without it in the end ;)
