Hi Guys
Hope all's good with you and you all had a great weekend. Where are all the regulars? - been missing you!
I know Dan likes to compare successful trading with sporting excellence in e.g. rugby and cricket, so I thought I'd bring another sport into the fold and share with you a little epiphany I had over the weekend while surfing...
If you ever get a chance, watch a good longboard surfer. They can't control the wind, the swell or the waves but they make it look so easy and chilled. They don't fight it, they just choose which wave to take, at what stage to pick it up and when to get out, and manage the whole ride with the minimum of effort...
I must be the most boring "trader" in the world, most of my trades are Cable break-outs with the trend during the London Open, but as long as I'm making my pips and my money each week, I'm happy. And most importantly, my mornings are stress-free and finished way before 0900hrs.
Wouldn't suit everyone granted, you adrenalin junkies and black-run skiers out there would get bored rigid I'm more of a blue-run kinda gal, and not ashamed to admit it.
So thanks Dan, Zak and James for helping me find my "trading style", soul surfer all the way!
Happy trading everyone and here's to keeping the trading mellow...

Like the imagery, strange thing, you mention water sports as I often liken my short term day trading to when I'm water ski-ing, attack the buoy, nice and relaxed turn, then look for the next one, then the next.... Simples...
