Sounds like hee had two issues.

Forex market runs 24/5 in week you can run computer all the time but you cannot do trading all the time when market is going on. Human body needs rest . I think 6 to 8 hours are much for trading . We feel bore after some time so you should make a plan how much time you can spend easily for trading.

It is okay to let your desktop computer run 24-hours a day. But, Itā€™s depend on your trading styles that you should let run or not for whole day and night. Also do not work whole day, it is not good for your mental and physical health. But for whole week no, you should give it rest and turned it off at least for an hour or two.

hi mate,
iā€™m an I.T. engineer
yes itā€™s fine to do that.

it really is a question of whether you are running Linux or Windows or Mac,
but letā€™s assume Windows because most people do run Windows

can you run windows indefinitely ā€¦ No, you canā€™t,
the way windows works is that you MUST from time to time shut it down and restart it.
Linux however doesnā€™t have this issue

in saying that, if you want to leave your Windows system open for a month, THATā€™S TOTALLY FINE.

100% OK TO DO THAT
obviously take precautions like Anti virus and so on
but from an Electronics point of view and a system Registry point of viewā€¦ NO PROBLEM AT ALL.

Mine is on 24/7 Monday to Friday. The weekends I usually donā€™t work so I donā€™t use it at all. As much as I know, it depends on the computer but mine is not so sophisticated and itā€™s still working pretty well.

It all depends on what kind of computer you have. I would not advise you to leave your PC on all the time, at least because of the hard drive load. Just as much depends on your cooler, if you have a weak cooler, I would not recommend leaving your PC running for a long time. Also, I advise you not to overdo trading, and sometimes you need to pause because otherwise, your efficiency as a trader will fall rapidly.
