    Hey All!! I've been trading the Ftse for some time now and I am in the fortunate position that I have a spare day a week that I can commit to solely trading. I'm looking to rent a desk for just one day if there is such a thing (7.30am - 4.30pm)? Ideally I could prebook for a month at a time or even weekly as I still have work commitments? Is there any such service like this? Did a search and didn't come up with much (Dublin and Meath area). Also is there any traders out there that have done similar.

    Cheers

    Surely all you need is a telephone and a computer?

    What you're after is called a virtual office. There are a few providers of the service in Dublin.

    There you are OP. All you need is a screwdriver and a chair. Alf might rent you a screwdriver for an extra euro.

    theres a place called T-block that have wifi and desks and its pretty quiet (only 3 ppl when i was there). Just need a laptop. Its pretty common around dublin.

    But i assume you want a few monitors and a pc setup ?
    Dont know where you can do that. Im sure theres a place though with all the startup accelerators in d ublin

    The mounted archery is class, though. I was thinking of using a similar technique for audits.

    Jesus I opened up a can of worms haha. Normally I trade from home but with screaming kids it's getting increasingly harder! All I need is 2 screens for portable trading which I have (laptop and monitor). @spunge - thanks for the info. Cheers all.....

    Need to be in front on the pic at 7.30. You need to do a bit of work before market opens at 8am. I'd also have skype on the go, chatting with fellow traders etc.

    @Alf. Waste of time having money in the bank unless it's just for security. I look to make between 5 and 7% return tax free. Month on month (compounded). It has taken me 3-4 years to become profitable. Don't believe the hype of get rich quick. You can lose everything. The key is never risk more than you can afford (good money management) study and trade as much as you can. If you are thinking of getting into it and I would recommend it (I like to mange my own capital), you should maybe try IG in Dublin for free courses, easy platform and good support.
    Good luck

    yeah i did find it a bit pricey though. But there wasnt much options for you know like the odd day pay-as-you-go type thing around. You should also maybe check out general commercial property renting price (its FAR below residential). But if youre just one day a week the hot-desk might suit you best.

    Personally id just work from home(my own comfy chair, set heating. 2 monitors, powerful machine vs using a less powerful laptop just so i can maybe communicate every few hours?) , but working there was good as we had a few of the team together and you can grab a conference room when we needed.

    Best of luck and remember to buy high coz sure it'll be higher after the news comes out about that thing.
