- rain rain go away!
- should have taken that walk when the sun came out earlier
- 4x is humming along, albeit at a muted amount
- still best to work out the kinks with smaller amounts
- and I’m still learning things about this craft after having made so many trades in the last decade
- or should I say I am learning things about me?
- that good cup of coffee today is keeping me up now
- rolling along like its was early evening right now
- good thing (or maybe bad) that the 4x markets don’t sleep at all
- more time to practice, and its good to do while I’m not at my best
- to sort of stress test myself and my trading skills
- some days I would hesitate to call these skills
- but I’ve proven to myself that they are skills
- just that I’m sometimes not in the right frame of mind to pay attention
- to the little subtle signals
- and the competing voices that habitate my mind
- oh that Kindle DX is tempting
- just when I thought I owned everything I want
- along comes a device that could be the answer to 3 needs
- a platform for me to read more on (especially fiction and current stuff)
- a way to ease some clutter
- a prize for trading well, or perhaps hitting my fitness goals
- I’m getting that feeling…
- that sweet nexus of ideas, practice, and technology
- the sticker price is steep
- but the probably 2 year costs come out to under 2 bucks a day
- and I will likely use it enough to justify that
- besides if my solution seeking engine (my mind) fixates on that prize
- it helps to focus me sufficiently to not do the little stupid things
- that can sabotage a good trade setup- like fear and greed and impatience
- just exited that trade with 2 Kindle DX days worth of profit
- hitting my marks, should be time to up the ante.
