Read Jack Shwagner's 'New Market Wizards" there some stories of those who went through divorce and what happend to their trades (was not good)
Sorry about your wife, AP. I didn't even know she was married. She just said she "needed a real man..." No hard feelings? Just fking with ya! Good luck to all!
Experiencing any loss will have a deliterious effect on your trading. Losses of loved ones due to change in circumstances, divorce or passing all require a time of respite and reflection. Once the major mourning is done, try to put your energy and focus into your trading, so that you can use the emotion in a positive fashion. Good luck, you'll know when it's time to get back on the horsey! JJ

I do enjoy a twisted sense of humor, not sure what that says about me As for the OP here, this is a very serious time in life. We do wish him all the best and nothing less. In my case, my ex-wife remains a very good friend, we're both doing well in life, both moved on, dual happy ending.

Divorce is a painful part of life, but there is a good life waiting on the other side
