In the world of cryptocurrency trading, where every minute counts, the choice between a standing desk and a traditional chair can be a topic of hot debate. I've spent 15 years on trading floors, and I've experienced both sides of the spectrum. Standing desks have their perks, offering potential health benefits and increased alertness, which can be crucial for making quick decisions in the volatile crypto market.

But here's a question for you, fellow Bitcointalk traders: Does standing really help make better and faster decisions in the high-speed trading world? Have you tried it, and did it work for you? Or do you believe that the comfort of a super ergonomic chair is the key to staying sharp during those long trading hours? Let's dive into this discussion and share our insights on finding the perfect balance between health and productivity in the crypto trading world. Your experiences and opinions matter, so let's hear them!
Standing desk is better for all kinds of jobs you are normally doing sitting down whole day. Or ergonomic chair or a gym ball. Being a trader is no different from any jobs that are done sitting on the desk looking at the monitors. But it doesn't guarantee any results. Best crypto traders i know do it with their laptop on the road.

But if you really want to tweak your trading conditions, start from the basics. As with better health and better life, you can concentrate better. Using brain power is wears you out. You need to be able to snap out of it and keep other valuable things in your life than just work.

Remember to utilize free time well. Exercise, sleep well, eat healthy, practise midfulness or anything that relaxes your mind. Work on your psychological issues and balance your time you have for your work / love / family / friends / alone time. Because health comes from balanced life, mind and body. Not from tricks. You might have as much time for work as you would want, but surely you want to enjoy your life too? It isn't all making as much money as you can if life is otherwise empty.
