We all get sidetracked until eventually we see what wasting time really does - cost you money. Looking at a chart in realtime is obviously way different to looking at a static chart, but it all depends on what way you are trading of course, as daytrading is a lot different to the longer term stuff. Not to keep repeating the same stuff, but in order to advance one must make conscious decisions and get on with it - nothing happens on its own. It is funny how many are "experts" in this game! J_S
