  2. We are all more lonely than we were 20 years ago. Mobile devices, internet connections, and social networks have made us to be lonely pretty much all the time.

    Maybe trading is worse, as you are normally executing your trades alone, but other jobs are meant to be for single people alone at home as well.

    When young, no one wanted to talk to young kid who new nada, so went on my own way. Took many years to learn to scalp. Even longer to develop Grails, all on flukes. Once you discover how to seldom lose, internally you are of great joy and want to share, but luckily you snap out of it. Become more lonesome.
    Saying goes "it is lonely at the top".

    If you are smart, never post your picture.

  5. Even if not at the start, eventually yes, you have to trade it alone all the way to success.

    I understand you, that's why it's good to participate in a forum where there are people who like practically the same thing. Walls are good friends too

    I end my day at 12:30, but when 11:00 arrives I don't even find many opportunities so I just follow along. Maybe I'll go out at that time to socialize, or whatever. Maybe taking a trip to Thailand would be good too, getting to know different people and cultures is great.

    You're very right not to talk about negotiations with people, I'm going to start looking for other ways to talk about what I do, maybe I'll say that I'm a salesman, I buy and sell things haha. I think this is good for security too. I think I'll use the forum more to talk about negotiations. Thanks for the comment!
