I used to always do this -- I would miss something, and come back and say "oh man, if I were here I would have made $1000 on that trade!" Of course, never mind the fact that a similar trade passed me by the past five days, and nevermind that I had never made $1000 on a trade, but conveniently, the one time I was going to be disciplined enough to take the entry, manage the trade perfectly, and get out at just the right time, I happened to not be there..
After 3-4 hours of trading it gives me a chance to air out my head, and the dog gets to stretch her legs. I'm not in a trade or thinking about trading. Rejuvenated.
It was so consistent I used to send emails to friends when going out the door....
I have these issues with 3 kids (10,7,3), wife, dog.
But I love working from home and accept there will be compromises. Big step for me was not to blame anyone for interruptions nor their implications. There are plenty of opportunities in the markets I follow, I will always get some and miss others, and if I miss some because my three year wants to dance on my feet I happily miss that trade.
I have these issues with 5 'kids' (22, 23, 24, 25, 27) and their guitars and boyfriends, 3rd wife, but no dog.
I still miss more opportunities by screwing with charts and indicators and computers and taking boredom trades than I ever do by living it large with that lot. Just don't ever let them know. One of the idiots left the hot tap running all night so there were no showers this morning. Now that's a real issue.
