Quote from sosueme:
My old Trader friend reckons that people who allow their mood swings to effect their trading are in no man's land.
They are neither pissed or sober.
He is constantly topping up with what ever comes to hand, to ensure a constant state of mind.
Actually in his case I am not sure that "mind" is the correct word.
After considerable experimentation, research, and medical advice, I have found that instead of bingeing on food, alcohol, gambling or trading, it is more economical and efficient to maintain a lower, but constant level of alcohol/glucose/lipids in the blood, so an employee brings me a glass with a carefully measured amount of the time-zoned-compatible drink every 15 minutes, and a half glass of water. This simple procedure ensures that my alcohol level never goes down too much or shoots up too much, maintains constant hydration in my body, and forces me to get up to go to the toilet regularly to speak with myself, which provides a much needed break from focusing on the single screen I look at.
