THE INCREDIBLE BOREDOM...

...has me shaking to trade. It seems like forever since I place my last trade (a long in the Midcap 400 futures). The lack of trading is playing mind games with me and my overtrading addiction. I am happy to say, I think I may have kicked the bad habit finally after all these years. Perhaps it was all those days I had to do nothing while my eyes healed from Epi-lasik surgery. I thought long and hard hour after hour each day about the bad trades I have made in my career. I thought about how I wanted to trade less and make more.

Whatever it was that got me to where I am today, it feels a lot better being bored than overtrading feels. I highly recommend 1) Lasik, 2) not overtrading, and 3) writing down EVERYTHING...goals, rules, and thoughts.

That's my advice for this week.

Good luck.
