Off day

I couldn't trade today, what I mean is I was too tired/sick to really concentrate on it so I passed. I rarely miss trading days in fact the last day I outright took off was July 28, I remember because I missed the epic KEM short (looking at the chart it seems to have big red candles after huge gap ups, I keep missing them because most are low volume). Anyway I suppose getting up at 4am to prepare for trading and then working until 7pm is starting to get to me, but I won't mention it anymore because you are not coming here to hear me complain. Without even reading the chat log I predicted that the room would be playing GGC and AGIX, I saw them move myself and should have jumped on them both but I just couldn't put the right concentration into it. And I couldn't get DNDN shares either (I'm sure they were all gone yesterday). This is what keeps me from trading full time, oh yeah and the fact that I'm not in the same universe as Muddy/13th ha.

Hope you all did well today.

It's not complaining, it's 'speaking your mind'. ;)

Anyway, I am in east coast and I used to get up at 10am earlier but since I have started trading, I am getting up at 7am and find it difficult. I don't know how you are able to get up at 4am everyday.

Regardless, it's a good idea not to trade when one is not fully alert. I hope you get better soon.

And yes, thank you for all your help!

Damn, 4 AM? I'm a west coaster and I get up at 6 AM. But I'm limited on day trades so there isn't much use in me getting up earlier (other than to try to get borrows).

Does that mean you day trade till 1pm PST (4pm EST) and start your job from 1pm till 7pm? Seems you have quite flexible working hours to be able to juggle both day in day out.
