took a holiday from trading for about six months...
when i was playing golf, i found it was very helpful, sometimes just to quit, when i was too confused and things were not going well as i would have liked, for a longish time....to clear the mind.
there is a similarity between playing golf and trading in the sense that both need a healthy dose of judgement: although in trading it is possible to have a system based method something which never did appeal to me.
The problem with discretionary style in trading is it is not so easy to sometimes explain why the trade was entered.
That said the aim is to use 5 min charts and try to mange the trade .....by getting out at the first sign of trouble.....so it may be a scalp or something more
