Now, I was positive that I lived in the lightning capitol, at least according to the news. Lake County in FL, about 30 miles directly north of WDW..... .....so the worse thing about trading is when your computer gets struck by lightning 2 times in 10 days !!!!!!!! Losing your cable, cable modem, ethernet card (both times) AND your hard drive!!!! Then Gateway sending you a friggen CD ROM instead of the much awaited hard drive. 7 days AFTER getting hit, just getting back online to realize you missed a "textbook" tradeable bottom in the market !!!!!!!!!!
. Since everyone's time does have to come eventually you gotta admit that would be a beautiful way to "close your positions".
The "textbook" trades all happen when you're away from the market, whatever the cause. Look at nitro, poor guy goes to Subway for a little chow, and boom, there's a rally.
That's a good question. Obviously it's better to <i>not</i> sin than to pluck out your eye, wouldn't you agree?
Today, the worst thing abou trading is the fills, the fakes, the trade throughs. But then again, that's true most days.
To me the worst thing about trading is staying focused and motivated during the doldrums. Once you lose your concentration due to this an opportunity will arise and will be missed. How does everyone else work through this?
. Yeah. Many times I've reviewed the charts in the evening and seen one of my high % setups that I didn't see at the time. Could kick myself. Gotta watch out for the eyes glazing over syndrome.
