Work and trading is a bad idea. If the investment on with a small period it is possible. You will be constantly distracted and you have bad will happen at work. Better select amount and enter the wait of a week or more.
I have a totally different experience than yours. I have been involved in trading part time and doing the full time job and all is going well. There is no distraction in job , rather i feel more satisfied on getting profit in trading and then working in the morning on my job with more interest and dedication.
