Benefits of not Trading alone

Since I started trading from an office , I noticed several changes.

1. Compared to home trading, I am more in control
2. It is difficult to go on tilt when your co-traders are observing you
3. I am trading more responsibly as I am assuming the role of a mentor as described by Dr Brett in The Daily Trading Coach
4. Some distractions relating to admin tasks may arise
5. Running a training and also trading operation gives me that emotional satisfaction of sharing ideas and developing clarity of thought
    
6. I hope this will exert positive influence on all the traders I encounter and associate with in this journey

Some very fine posts  regarding this topic are

• Doug Tucker on Trading Methods & usefulness of trading groups 
• Dr Brett on Networking
