Years ago I walked into the NQ pit while we were taking out the highs. I asked the older much more experienced trader next to me, “what happened, why are we rallying”? He looked at me like I was a moron and said “who cares, more buyers then sellers”.
Today a trader in my group reminded me of that when the ES popped 30 pts. I asked why are we rallying, he said, “more buyers than sellers”
Trade what is in front of you. Keep it simple. Don’t overthink it. Have a plan, don’t over analyze the plan, react to it without overreacting.
During the trading day, I am not paid to think, I am paid to react to my plan, to my process.
One moment held in a long, yearning embrace. Still and at peace.
The next, gripped--a heart-tearing separation, a nightmare endless.
The beat and shout of the war drums, stirring coals deep within the belly of men.
Japanese composers ability to use leitmotif demands recognition-- the emotional bandwidth and depth of their orchestra is soul capturing.
I could listen to it without end.
