I can’t remember a time when I’ve been more out of love with charting and trading. As I stand here right now, what I want to do is go prepare a nice dinner for my family. I am wholly unaccustomed to actually not liking what I do for a living. I have lived my life striving to occupy myself only with gainful employment which I find exciting, interesting, and fulfilling. I pity those who work just to put food on the table but hate their jobs. But lately I’ve been getting a taste of that myself.
I don’t mean to burden you with my own psyche, but I’m not going to censor myself for my readers. For me, this market sucks. It’s as simple as that. There is always going to be a cadre of traders that smirks and says how ridiculous that is, and how they’re making money day in and day out. Well, good for you. It’s your market, then. And it’s been your market for quite some time. I don’t have much of a knack for the market we’re in right now, and it’s particularly soul-crushing when almost every day provides some kind of hope that things are going to turn around only to mysteriously launch to new lifetime highs.
