Isn't there a better picture?  I can only see the front tire of the
machine.

Like a number of people in the past few days, I am on this list mostly  
for trader talk, it doesn't specifically have to be about Tradestation.

Could I pose a question to the list if it's of interest ... How do  
others deal with the trader tummy?  That being trading isn't exactly  
the most
energetic of activities, combined with moderate bursts of stress &  
frequent long hours, I often find myself grabbing a hand full of  
biscuits / chips / nuts etc
and heading back to the screen, especially if it's late at night and  
the noise of making a proper meal would be inappropriate.

I was fortunate enough to spend a short stint with Prudential-Bache  
Securities many years back and I have vivid memories of their dealers  
running
from the desk, grabbing literally handfuls of biscuits (quality ones,  
the firm was doing well) and running back to their desk... and these  
were _BIG_ guys,
so it doesn't seem a unique small office, home office issue.

I realize there are probably a plethora of fitness groups that would  
be better suited to specifics of calories and the like, but I'm more  
interested in how
other traders are dealing with our rather unique working environment.

I've recently started drinking a lot of water, I have a 1.5L bottle  
and am aiming for 1 - 2 re-fills per day (I re-fill from a filtered  
water tap), I find it significantly
reduces the desire for snacking & assists with overall health.
