An omelette is just not eggs you know !
At what point does a trader decide that he cannot follow any more markets out of the thousands available ? What governs this choice? of his dilution of his attention that makes him think or believe that this is in his best interest to aid his expertise ?
To aid your understanding & to shape yourself into a knowledgeable trader, you have a choice, to focus & follow 1 market or 20. What would you choose, and why do you think this will assist you in your performance ?
I cannot help but think traders who trade more than one market are doing so for other reasons other than their own pursuit of excellence . Which is fair enough I guess, but every individual I hope, puts themselves first second and third. Otherwise whose life and rules are you living by ?
Yes I see one can make a conscious decision to sacrifice themselves in the pecking order and putting others first, but this, I feel , will only lead away from excellence of the self, your self , in whatever you choose to do.
Recognizing you have a conscious choice, is perhaps a start into knowing the path one should start to walk upon.
If one is ok with mediocre, then that's fine, again , down to knowing self, and what you want & must do for you and your own standards. If you do not know what your own standards are or should be then you need to start putting yourself 1st ,2nd and 3rd. You own needs should be important to you should they not ?
Maybe you have not given yourself (or/and others around you) the time and interest to understand what is important to and for you.
In cooking, if the chef cannot perfect cooking a simple omelette, what makes the chef think he can manage 7 courses ?
Does the chef care about cooking to perfection, is it important to him, does he care or have the passion inside? Or is the chef happy to perform and serve bad or average food?
Let's ask each chef what he wants, because he might only like the idea of cooking (as a job) and want to actually be doing something else that he has a passion for instead.
Chef , do you want to perform well and serve excellent food that you are proud of ? Or do you care for anything less of that standard?
Whose getting hungry ? :cheesy:
