Oddly enough, traders create their own curtains. Its an individual choice to decide to pull the curtains apart to have a look, or live with the mystery.
lets see... option 1: .work at desk job updating spread sheets option 2: trade the open ,go workout , watch, play some vid games, trade the close... i think i'm better off with option 2
I recently made a decision to go back to my day job full time. I had been trading full time and "working" about 22 hours a week. My wife also works part time. We had been living comfortably on 2 part time incomes and drawing 0.5% a month out of my trading account. My kid is heading to an ivy in sept (passing up several full rides) so I chickened out and took a full time job (very low 6 figures) about 3 months ago and position trade. I really miss being around the house, watching market action real-time, and tweaking my set-ups. My position trading is going well but I feel disconnected.
Perhaps trading is the best job for someone. However, trading is not a teamwork career. One may feel boring or lonely at his trading career.
lol....I know exactly what electrsarvant is talking about.....I love this crap too....I think why its so good is because its so hard to conquer....Im going to keep trading till my million dollar strategy eventually develops, and even if it doesnt, ill still be trading tick by tick till im 80..lol
