Actually it's not for traders only, it's for all who works daily in front of computer. Some of you might not know about Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, it's some kind of a common source of hand numbness and pain. You can see some of CTS surgery pictures, hope you still good after seeing those.

And it's a big risk for anyone who works daily on a computer that use mouse and computer on bad position. Here are some good postions on mouse and keyboard usage for you:

and more on this post, also some hand exercise while on computer

Hope this information help us on healthy workspace! And hope I'm not posting this on wrong section

I use a laptop all day at my work. The only problem I experience is my fingers get cramped like once a month from using the mouse pad too much through the day. I think when I use the mouse pad, I end up bending my finger and hand a weird way. I've never gotten carpal tunnel syndrome from using my computer. I do get back aches every once in a while from sitting at my desk working all day.

Really useful information. Thanks for sharing. What i would recommend is to use a keyboard with special pad for the hand. That can help to prevent health troubles and is comfortable as well.

Oh, thank you for the information. It is really very helpful. Many people nowadays work in front of the computer all day long.

The main thing is not to forget to periodically do stretching and not sit in one place for too long.

One of the most important factors involved in prolonged computer use must be eye strain.
Light emission from computer radiated light is known to damage your eyes.
There are blue light filter glasses which are supposed to help counter this.
Anyone finding these filter glasses useful?
cheers sport

Never tried the glasses. The best thing I find to counter the eye strain is to do some screen time breaks (I aim for every 30 minutes) and doing a set of eye muscle exercises at least once a day.

It's not only for people who trading forex, but anyone who sits on PC like 10 hours a week (I wanted to wrote like 10 days week LOL), anyway I do some walking after hour of work and do some hand exercise like recommended and totally stopped playing PC games!
