Daily (Morning) Routine - Hopefully everyone would participate

Quote from PnL Rally:

1. wake up at 7am
2. shower, eat breakfast
3. 8am-8:30 commute
4. 8:30-9:30 research (CNBC, go over news, earnings, upgrades/downgrades, charts)
5. 9:30-4:00 trade
6. 4-5:00 go over trades, research for next trading day

......some of my best trading days happen when I wake up late, and get to my computer at around 9:15....maybe I should change the morning routine

Yeah, we don't need no stinkin' research!

Spend the rest of the evening / night : free time

Funky-
mercyshot -- your first EP has some pretty cool tunes on it - good luck with it! (falling / welcome)

7:10am-Turn on trading system and wait for money to come my way.

1pm-Update daily P&L chart, turn on spa, plan dinner.
 
Hey Funky

I used to work right around the corner from you. An Internet company called Organic.com moved their office to Townsend
before they laid-off a *hit-load of people.

I'm in the East Bay now. Alameda.

Give me a ring if you are ever want to swap ideas.

I just trade the e-minis though, so couldn't talk to the equities
market much..

5:30am- Deflate Heidi Klum blowup doll

6:00am- still deflating

6:15am-walk 8' from edge of bed to trading desk w/o jamming toes

6:30am-finishing last of catholic school boy prayers-and feeling guilty about it.

6:59am-taking the second trade of the day, trying to get back to break even

x:00-blur

1:00pm-still blur, but market movement seems more apparent

1:01pm- begin crying...
