I know, I know. They don't call me Mr. Take Profits too early for nothing. I guess that's why you do what you do for a living and what I do as a hobby. You're the pro. I'm just gazing through the window.
Might actually get a negative 30 day confirm in Dollar Yen tomorrow. That would be the first time in a long while. Also, Bonds are confirming. That's one of those trades where it pains me to a see a confirm and takes absolute discipline to execute it. TBT already confirmed for me back on 9/30.
Mav, how dos your working day look like related to time spent ? How much is spent on collecting ACD stat, managing position, entry, exit, news ? Any intraday trading ? Anything else ?
Honestly, 90% of my time is spent on spreadsheets. I hardly look at my positions. I know where my outs are...and HONOR them. I spend so much time collecting data, organizing it, analyzing it and then from time to time I'll come up with new ideas and dip into the old data and see if there is anything there. I come up with new ideas all the time. But very little time actually pushing buy and sell buttons. It's interesting, some guys get the adrenaline rush from trading and being active, I get a much bigger rush when I have ideas and I see those ideas come to life. When I find patterns that are robust, I get far more satisfaction then closing out a big winning trade.
Mav have you ever looked at energies the same way...all off of Brent hours for comparability purposes?
