How do you balance full-time work with active trading?
As a software engineer who tried day trading, I constantly faced this dilemma: the best trading opportunities happen during work hours when I'm in meetings or deep in code.
I built LoopTrade to solve this problem - an AI bot that actually executes trades on Capital.com while I work. It monitors prices 24/7, makes decisions based on my strategy parameters, and clicks buy/sell buttons automatically.
Curious to hear from the community:
- Do you trade while working full-time? How do you manage it?
- Have you missed profitable trades because you couldn't act fast enough?
- What's your biggest frustration with trying to trade alongside a 9-5 job?
- Would you trust AI to execute trades on your behalf, or do you prefer manual control?
For those interested in automation:
- What parameters would you want to customize in a trading bot?
- What safety features are must-haves for you?
- How much control vs. automation is the right balance?
Looking forward to hearing your experiences and thoughts on automated trading!
