Agreed. Take the AM trade and screw off the rest of the day. I go shooting. Then do some reloading. Then the chores.
The personal freedom offered by active trading has more to do with choosing your own days off and vacation time. As a CTA working out of a home office along side my dogs and with ocean views and choosing at leisure my time off I wouldn't have it any other way. If you know how to trade and do it profitably and consistently, then active trading( day, swing, or long term) the personal freedoms offered are a lifestyle that is almost impossible to give up....
I'm betting a lot of aspiring noobs imagine women lounging around, not dogs. In my case, the wife's cat has just about finished her trading apprenticeship and is near ready to go live.
+1 I always thought that one of our cats would have been a much better trader. Never phased out from anything.
Yep. The cat gets it. Yea.wav means long. Ohno.wav means short. Sipping.wav means close the position. Trading so easy a cat could do it.
