Just curious as to how the majority of people here spend their time on fx or what your schedule currently looks like? I’m lucky enough to work from home part-time right now so I have a lot of time to dedicate to forex! Just want to make sure I’m spending my efforts in the right way and not burning myself out since I am always in front of the computer, even for my other job. My schedule typically looks something like this, or it did today:
4:30AM - wake up, brush teeth, make coffee, stretch, etc.
4:45 - 6/7AM - trade, read news, check email. If I don’t see anything good, I’ll backtest for an hour.
7/8AM - 3 or 4PM - do my other job, eat lunch, do dishes, do yoga, etc.
4-5PM - backtest
5-6PM - dinner and shower
6PM - 7PM - review past trades
7PM-8PM - read
8:30/9 - bedtime
I should be better about tracking my time, but according to me, I believe I spend a majority of my time reading, then trading, journaling, then backtesting. I’d like to move backtesting up and do it more. Ideally, I’d like to have my time prioritized in this order: backtesting, reading, journaling, trading. But I shall see. How is everybody else spending their time?
