Could it be you're just thinking too much. If living in suburbia with 30 years mortgage on your back is not for you, then don't do it. Instead, try to rewind, to when you felt you were in the right place, with the right people, and try to do something similar. Chances are, the people and place will be different but hey, what's life without changes and challenges.

I think I wrote and deleted a reply or two the other week. But yes I think a lot. It serves me well and gives me headaches. We are who we are. Cheers

Ah, so. Members come and go. Like the weather, sometimes pleasant sometimes nasty.
Nice Suzi Quatro song. Cats ... cats, let me see, what do I have. Ahh, this one. Breaks me every time I hear it.
Yeah, aren't we always too busy, too occupied? And just keep promising we'll have a good time some other day .. that never comes.

hi,, willf,, thanks for the comment,,,
I hope you always do well

unfortunately what I can do just scalping
because I enjoy scalping
yes everyone has a different style < has his own style >

best regards

I am a scalper too and I am more comfortable doing as I don't like the idea of having an open position hanging over my head although I can put stop loss or limit. Just like to complete one trade before moving on to the next trade or break.

Little bit of country or blues music, when you're waiting for setups, never did anyone harm ...

If you have a 720p or 1080p monitor I highly recommend watching HD videos or documentaries.

electronic drum set - it can take a thrashing sometimes during drawdowns but learn bembe and try to make your left hand know what your right hand is doing.....and your feet! If you can learn that you can learn how to trade.
Oh yes, and turn your mind down low as it interferes with your arms and legs -- another similar trading necessity...

we know variety is the spice of life ... an enjoyable pastime, looking for cover versions of old songs ... strictly when there are no trades, to avoid distraction

here goes one for the morning
rhymes with GBP/JPY charts LOL
strange highs
strange lows

I have a fulltime job that keeps me from overtrading...and H1 charts make that very easy too. So much more relaxing than the 15min charts

..and you can always cook something in between trading. Today I'll be preparing baked Camembert with garlic bread. Simple but fantastic. Recipes all over the internet.
You can opt for berry jam and toast instead of garlic bread ... wise if you wanna snog afterwards

..and while it's baking, covers covers covers

I play poker or read. Fixed limit holdem keeps me out of overtrading and gives some pocket money as well

Whereby, I usually just irritate people which is why the above is excellent.
And you never know when that project may become a new profit center.

.... or not maybe but at least it's progressive. ?

I know eh? My mind is always churning with ideas I'd love to try out.

This has lead me to build a few websites (educational in nature,) start learning German, start coaching friends with various goals they have in life, constantly finding tasks to automate so I can brush up on my coding/scripting skills..etc... Even if no money comes of it, I feel great compared to an evening watching television when I do something productive.
