activities while waiting on a setup?

[Shikamaroo]

Hi all, I am new to trading and have been trying to day trade based on a system which uses the ADX indicator. I usually get fed up after about an hour of dud's and miss the good opportunity when it comes along. Is there any activity that traders usually undertake while waiting on a setup or waiting to close out a position so that i don't fall asleep out of boredom?

Very important thread... it drives me nuts waiting to get in and out if i am doing short term stuff... I tend to just eat / sunbathe / surf on other sites ...

My personal favorite time killers are:

Chicken fried rice
Duck and boiled rice with stock soup
tuna sandwich
