Trading is a lonely business, so what do you guys do about it?

I’m starting to talk to my monitor asking her to perform tricks for me.

I’m starting to ask the market how she’s feeling today.

Usually they ignore me, but sometimes they give me a heart attack! :smiley:

What do you guys do to feel not so lonely!? Oh babypips!

Be a smartass around here… Be a YouTube junkie… If I’m feeling particularly constructive, study mql4 code.

And occasionally pet the dog that is dutifully at my feet through the night.

Usually call out system sellers on the forums, or troll the trolls that we get here. :slight_smile:

Of course,it is.

Watching old school bands help me kill time thought.
Guns and roses, skidrow, deep purple. ahhh.

I hit up the chat. But I also have a few trading partners who I chat with and bounce ideas off. But don’t forget to have a life away from the screen. As soon as I am done trading I am out of the office like a kid hearing the school bell.

Good to know you have a life! I trade during london hours which basically is from mid day till night for me.

Ok maybe i should to join some chat groups and hear what other traders are thinking. But usually i lurk at babypips refreshing threads after a while. pathetic i know.

I have XBOX right next to my PC, so I play COD and Madden…

I spend intimate time with my girlfriend while watching the market.
I also smack someone who is near me across the face when I’m bored (while watching the markets only).

Likewise, i have my PS3 right next to me. COD, 2K11 and Madden.

ROFL… Much better…

She must be really loved by you!

I really really love her. She’s my life.
You know what they say, “If you love your Mrs, stick to slaps and kisses”

It’s always raining slap and spits with us, kinda like trading the News!

:43:

lol, your nuts Bro, but I agree:cool:

we should get a COD forex team going :smiley:

Im down, im usually on thruout the day, mostly after 7pm, est,

Kill-confirmed,

You can catch entire seasons of shows on Hulu. I watched the entire season 1 of Wilfred and Louie while I was trading back in March. Got me through the week.

Careful the last time I hinted something like that I have 2 kids to show for it. You might want to consider a day job lol it costs less

you are connected to the WWW and you dont know how to kill time?

My favorite has been www.solarmovie.eu

I cant remember the last time I paid to watch a movie.

Than there is youtube. Most of discovery and history channels interesting programs are available there. Off lately History channel has fallen off a little with shows such as Deadliest Roads etc etc…I mean who would want to watch a bunch of guys driving a truck up and down an unpaved road? But otherwise there is plenty. The science shows are always mind boggling.

If I need more entertainment I look up the Malaysian political scene. You can find pure racists, bigots, sexists, corruption, religious fundos, mangy dogs, monkeys and outright crazies. If that still does not satisfy me than there is always trolling.

:smiley:

Nikita you are starting to scare me as you remind me of well meee :33:. Its like a long lost sister I dont know about.
