Jim,
I know one trader who does yoga and sometimes uses standing yoga
positions during the day--standard computer set up. Another trader has a
Swedish "kneel chair"--popular some years ago; knees on pads, butt on a
seat, keep your back straight yourself. One trader once recommended a
rocker. A big monitor seems to help if you stand and stretch during the day.
