Extremely scarce intraday traders, what do they do every day? You may not believe it if you say it, but most of the top intraday traders I know don't even look at the market. What you think of as a day: 8 hours glued to the screen, trembling with fear. Actual day: 4 hours to complete, the rest of the time is spent "not doing business". I met an old friend in the evening, who has been a "beauty dog" for over a decade, specializing in foreign exchange and precious metals. His daily routine is like that of a practitioner. At 8 pm, slowly open the computer and brew a cup of tea, taking a look at the European and American data At 9:30, the market began to stir, but he turned off the market software instead I asked him why, and he said 'make dinner'. He said that the actual time for placing orders does not exceed one hour per day, and the rest of the time is spent researching "how not to trade". What do you do during the day? Exercise, walk the dog, send the child to school, and do a two-hour review in the afternoon without hesitation. It's not checking the candlestick, it's flipping through one's own trading log Interrogating oneself one by one, 'Is this order a execution plan or a cheap one?'. He said that the most difficult part of the day is not technology, but to get through those "no chance" times, and to get up and water a flower when he feels itchy and wants to place an order. Outsiders often think that this profession is free and exciting, but in fact, the back of freedom is the ultimate self-discipline. The market opens every day, but you don't have to make money every day. People who can control their hands, engrave rules into their daily lives, and make waiting a habit are worthy of having this kind of life.
