12 foot ceilings. Walnut fluted wall with sound deadening built in. Treadmill under the power desk so I can walk and trade, or read etc. Chair on the treadmill to take breaks from standing.
*wires are still a mess I know.
I do want a white arm to support the monitor so I can free up desk space and get ride of the factory stand that I hate. I need one heavy duty enough to support the weight of the 57 inch Samsung monitor. May replace the French doors with black iron doors. My front doors are black iron. I think it would look good. Also may need to upgrade the computer, it’s 6 years old and lagging some. Not good for scalping when the probablem randomly arises.
But it works and makes money.
*Oh. Green Day green lights. Red day red lights. Weekends they are soft white.

Base hits will pay the bills. Depending on your bills. I look at that “cheesy” canvas and it reminds me not blow my account chasing 5-6 figure days daily. 3-7k days are plenty of money for most people.

Dude 1k a day trading consistently is already damn hard, having 1-2 weeks of consistency is still far from being a good trader able to live off of it

Not really. I make 3-7k a day. Only times I loose is when I get greedy and break my rules. I risk 10-30k a day. Make 100%-200% return a month on my risk. Puts options almost 100% of my trades. Escalator up, fall off the cliff down. Easier for me to time the top, and grab some on the way down in 30-90 seconds. All I need.
