If you want to trade the markets you have to live the markets — that means turning your trading desk into your second home.
That's why we put out a call to our readers to send in pictures of their oh-so-important spaces, and the response was just awesome.
The desks came in from Croatia to Chicago, Brazil to Switzerland. You sent us everything from massive desks with a bunch of screens to killer views that likely make the day go by a lot faster.
Thanks. Keep 'em coming.
