Answer:
It really depends on your style of trading. Some traders take longer term trades, setting wider stop loss and take profit points, which allows them to leave their computers. Other traders are scalp traders, and try to take 5 pips at a time, so they probably don't leave their computers.
In any case, it really depends on your strategy. You could set limit orders and leave your computer, shoot some hoops, go to the driving range, play some ps3. Just be aware of potential economic data that is going to be released and to always set a stop loss.
