Well another weekend is upon us; the market is closed and some of us would consider that a bummer but for others it’s a breather a chance to totally concentrate on studying without the FOMO we might get when the markets are open. I will do what I do every weekend, watch Sykes videos, the weeks sessions with Tim Bohen and reading. I will work on my custom scans, tweaking them to filter out the noise and try to find only the candy in the market.

When I have to leave my work station I will grab my portable work station (multi-screen laptop and kindle) I go nowhere without them, so that I have the capability to study anywhere there is Wi-Fi or cellular service. If the family wants to go shopping at the mall I park myself at a table in the food court and fire up my laptop while they go shopping. If they want to hang out at the park, I’ll use my kindle and continue reading The Complete Penny Stock Course.

While vacationing in Hawaii my family asked me what I would like to do since we’ve traveled around the island shopping, sightseeing and have gone to the beach every day. My reply was “I would like a bottle of Makers Mark, a tub of ice, cheese, salami and crackers. My favorite seat under the fan out on the lanai and to be interruption free for the day so I could study the charts and patterns” They reluctantly agreed and couldn’t believe I considered that fun, they all went to the beach for the entire day. If you have the fire within you it’s next to impossible to extinguish it. As many of us are seeking something different most of us have that passion within us to make this happen, sure there are those who are looking for the get rich quick route but most of us know it will take a lot of work to become a consistent profitable trader to the point we can call ourselves Traders.

I would like to give a big shout out to all you dads out there and a special shout out to the Military families where dad is deployed and all Single Moms who have taken on the role of dad, I hope you have a great day with family tomorrow and be ready for the markets next week, always remember “If it was easy everybody would be doing it”
