The difference being, when I see opportunities, long or short, I trade, B1S2 would rather go to bed holding (large) drawdowns, AND accepting loss of time and opportunity, both of which are realized, and neither of which can be replaced.
What is being missed though in your analysis is the time that I save to do other things. Time is a more valuable commodity than money.---but yes, trading opportunities are missed. You are correct.

Agreed.
Time... a matter of what one desires or deems important. For now, for me, trading as an occupation gives me what I want/need. Time for outside interests, money for wealth accumulation and philanthropy, personal growth, knowledge of current affairs in many categories. Kind of cool too, successful doing of what others don't/can't/or won't understand... My path, which i chose especially for me! You rest, you rust.

Carry On!

I agree, you rust when you stop playing the game manually. Been on automation so long, lost some of the nuances due to memory loss. Have new system to test real time, had trouble trading more than an hour before got tired out, am going to have to trade more each month to keep what I know. But each day getting easier on reading what should happen next and reviewing the stats each night on percentages of patterns within patterns helps much.

By the time you have "accumulated", you try out all the extra plans of what you always wanted to be doing, you can find yourself bored and return and plan something else regarding trading, as in my case. Problems for me comes into being able to do what majority of people can't do, as you said. So keep in mind when time to "retire", you might be coming back, good to program all of it, so you have great notes.
