Grinding it out, day after day

Quote from lescor:

My typical day goes like this:

Up at 5:30 to 6:00
make coffee, do burpees
pre-market prep till the open at 7:30
7:30 to 8:30 trade a lot, put on lots of positions
eat, chat with the wife, read newspaper
check on positions
waste time on various websites, including this one, keep half an eye on the market, take trades here and there
workout
lunch
afternoon delight
take dirt bike to the track and burn a bunch of laps
come home, check positions, record stats, catch up on secret ATS chat room, count money

Not lazy dude, just not tied to the screen

1)How many burpees?

2)How many times a week with afternoon delight?

Great thread.
:D
 
I'm bit a real estate/housing junkie. Half of my family are general contractors.

Doing anything cool with the house? whats the sq ft? What kind of design? modern?
 
Is the possibility to trade through Echotrade (or for that sake through any North American prop firm) only limited to US/Canada nationals?
 
A little late posting the weekly update. I left Friday morning and was out all weekend. It was the worst week of the year, in fact the worst losing week since May of 2009. Nothing was working, on the wrong side of a lot of listless, low volume trends. I was positioned mostly long with my swing trades going into the week and was stopped out of almost all of them. I had internet issues on Thursday and didn't trade at all, first day totally off in quite some time. Probably a good thing though or I would have lost more.

-$12,000 on 292,000 shares. Daily pl was +2, -8, -5, 0, -1

It's a timber frame home, about 5,000 sq feet plus full basement. It'll have a bit of a 'ski chalet' look, definitely not modern. Just finished insulating last week, drywall going up soon. The exterior should be mostly done in another week or so and I'll post a pic of the progress then.

Lescor, do you swing trade from your IB or Echo account? If Echo, what overnight leverage do they allow?
