Yes, too bad every day isn't like today. But if it was, then it wouldn't be, for what is known by all is of small value indeed.
"Bragging is freaking easy easy easy...." Now, posting a journal with honest P & L + setup entries/exits? Now that is something worth crowing about. Hint Hint, FPC!
Your level of enthusiasm seems to have increased dramatically today from saturday evening. Perhaps trading wasn't actually the source of your boredom when you started this thread. Seems like you get your adrenaline from trading, and that when you aren't trading is when you start to feel down.
People call FPC a split personality psychotic. I disagree completely. FPC has all the earmarks of a Manic Depressive. He begins with a flurry of posts which start off with bold tales of his exploits. This reaches a crescendo- his manic up period. This phase is akin to a stock putting in a parabolic top. After peaking, his number of posts trails off, marked by posts that are less aggressive and more uncertain in tone. Maybe this is matched by trading profits. He then begins to descend into the down cycle and eventually ceases posting all together until the down cycle is completed. Even the moniker fasterpussycat is a dichotomy of polar images, one suggesting a high and the other a low. That's my armchair Freud on Faster.
Looks like this thread is on its way to the Psychology forum. Hey, trader boredom is a psychological factor.
Dear FP: Please Bid and Offer a One-Hundred Lot in the ES tomorrow. PM me right before you do it, so that we can make sure we are trading with each other. All One Hundred. Not your one lot. One Hundred. I'm good for it. I promise.
Boredom and income are inversely proportional. Plot boredom on the x axis and monthly income on the y axis. If you are truly bored, then something is amiss.
