Dear traders, how do you usually spend your weekends?

the funny thing about fishing

I'd get in a place where there was just no mental way out of it and think "I need to get away."

I'll go fishing and just think about it.

As soon as that line hits the water, forget about quiet contemplation. "I think they're hittting high! No, they are under the tree! They want something small. They want something moving!" and after you catch your limit you ask......"What was that again I came out here to think about?"

I've been working on a pretty large wine cellar.

You must have epic hangovers on Mondays!

To avoid that...you have to just drink all week long!

#1 Once you find a good enough edge, the stress is reduced, severely

#2 The sedentary issue is real, especially if daytrade, swing traders obviously not an issue

However, here's a real solution, a desk threadmill, simple walking speed, 1.5-2MPH will keep you away from the dreaded chair, which is a killer and very easy to type and control pointer at those speeds, as you get better, you will obviously gain more skills to walk faster as you work.

Not the main setup but for casual web browsing, ET bitching or casual chart studies works for me. Many times I watch sports or movies as well since I conveniently situated it in front of my TV.

Whatever gets you away from a chair or sofa, and the bed, that's for sleeping and shagging.

I use a mini cycle myself which fits under the desk or can be moved if you want to watch tv etc.

how do you usually spend your weekends?

Honey-dos aside (which never seem to cease).., typically it entails activities in the out of doors / outside

Today - swapping out a clutch..., finding / decorating a Christmas tree..., making either a pot of chili or beef stew - with venison (haven't decided which yet)

Completed everything above except for decorating the tree..., and..., started / finished my Christmas shopping (on line shopping = is the cats ass)


Today:

Cleaned the gutters..., cut the grass (for what I hope is the last time this year)..., raked and bagged leaves

livin the life of riley - I am

Lookin forward to monday so I can rest

no kidding, they give you five days of fantasy and two days of reality

nice work if you can get it
and you can get it if you try

You rather do housework on your own ?

One of the reasons I got into trading was to be able to hire gardener, pool guy, I can't stand that type of work, rather cook, do sports etc. Obviously everyone is different, gotta do what makes you happy while being productive.

agree, i have a daily maid and weekly gardener (returns in the spring).

Housework - I don't like..., but do
Yard work - don't mind a bit

Nor....

Changing oil
Rebuilding motors
Iron / metal work..., welding
Woodworking (finally figured out how to build a decent looking adirondack chair)
Maintaining / rebuilding / fab-ing - the "toys"
Fish - I clean / filet what I catch
Deer - I gut / skin / process what I kill (nothing better than old a cold morning - sticking your cold / wet hands inside a warm cavity)
Firewood - I cut / split / stack
Fence - build / repair
Shop / sheds - I built from foundation to roof - including the electrical & plumbing
The pets - I wash / groom (damn cat hates water - my arms are proof of that)
Trash - yup I haul that shit out
Or..., take on any myriad of other things


Beside - I don't have a pool - lake just a hop skip and jump away..., and..., I like growing vegetables (gardening) - they taste way better than store bought (including whole food's produce)

Just cause I have money - I still must wipe my own butt - so doing anything south of that is gravy imho

The physical simply offsets the mental - makes for a balanced me

==========================

I will only pay other's - to do that..., which I am physically incapable of..., or..., not qualified

Whether I like / enjoy it - has absolutely no bearing
