I wish I would have gone into the military. This is really boring.

You're complaining about working in a job that let's u b done by 10:AM ea day? Seriously? I'm guestimating but 80% of ppl in US would give their right nad (or whatever appropriate body part) for such a gig. You telling you can't use 8hrs left of your day to find a hobby or new skill?
 
There is still time, am sure you can reconsider your options. Or maybe you just had one bad trading day, in every profession we get those.

Yes, it helps. I am A. I am usually done trading by 10 AM central. I just need to find something to fill my free time to make me feel like I'm making a difference. I appreciate the guys who are done trading after a couple of hours, and go golfing or ride dirt bikes the rest of the day, but that's not me.

You still can not determine on your own what to do with your time when you complete your trading day by 10am central ???

If you truly want help to think seriously about what to do...start by revealing your age, location (city), education background, single or family and you'll receive better replies. Simply, if you really want help...you're going to need to reveal more details about yourself and where you're at instead of having anonymous people make random suggestions to you.

Yet, if you're that numb to think about what to do...contact your friends and let them decide for you. That too works very help for those that can't think for themself after 10am est. :cool:

I bet there are many grass root charities in your town that you can support financially and with your labor. They are generally understaffed and don’t need a lot of money. And you will see the impact with your own eyes.

and here we are in the 21st century where men in developed countries have more choices than they have ever had, record levels of money sloshing around the world, the best connectivity to other people and opportunities and you say you are bored. A limp wristed beta cucking of society.

I suggest you get yourself a piece of paper and pen and write down the 10 things you would do in the next year if you knew you only had 1 year left on this planet. Then set about completing them the same way a starving wolf would attack a plate of meat.

It's always better to take action rather than moan.

I can't stop thinking about this. I guess this is the type of response I was looking for. I know depression is common when it gets super cold outside, and there is little to do. But I was just being a whiner.

I especially like the last sentence in your second paragraph. Probably because I know I have it in me.

Thanks.

I don't find trading boring. Trading is one of the most difficult, challenging, and stressful things you can do IMO. Far from boring. In fact, its definitely not boring when you dig a nice deep hole for yourself in the morning session, and have to climb out of it and try to finish green for the day.

Been there many times.....With ES and NQ futures things are usually moving at least 4 hours per day.

Wow. Plenty of harsh replies. But they all make sense. Thanks for the wake up call.

You should hit the gym after 10 am central, and then come back to trade around 1 pm.
As Bone said, setting up a Tinder date will also occupy your free time and you may get rewarded for your efforts.

I work out quite a bit, and I'm fortunate to be in excellent shape at my age.

I've done the tinder and Match.com thing, and I've had some fun. But my mother had a stroke just after Christmas and it was a rough go for awhile, and I just wasn't in the mood. But she is doing much better, so perhaps it's time to get back in the game.
