The trading market never clocks out, but my weekend can!

It was only after I started investing that I realized the hardest part isn’t judging the market, but learning when not to watch it.
Whenever the weekend came around, I used to feel like I had to catch every single move. While others went out, I watched charts; while others went to dinner, I followed the news; while others slept, I was still studying the market.
By the end of the day, I hadn’t learned anything new about the market, but my dark circles had become more and more noticeable.
There’s been plenty of volatility this week, and tonight there’s also the US October PPI data to keep an eye on. I’m planning to keep track of the essential information, define my risk limits, and then give myself some real time to rest.
Investing takes patience, and life needs room to breathe, too.
Making money is important, of course, but if the market leads me around by the nose every day, then even if my account is making money, my life is losing out. That doesn’t seem like a great trade-off.
Weekends should have coffee, good food, and friends—and the courage to step away from the candlestick charts for a while.
Tell me: if you didn’t open your trading app at all over the weekend, how long could you last? #周末话题 #TradingDiary
I’ll admit it—I might not make it past half a day! $MU
