Weinstein Trading and Fading
- Thread starter Robert Weinstein
- Start date
What happened to this chappie?
trading and life in general is going well. i am still in the chat every day. i have repetitive motion injuries in both wrists so i am trying to lower my computer time. that along with taking a trip with my family to the black hills SD and unpacking etc... and i have been scarce.
i will start posting again soon when my hands are feeling better(i have both hands in braces and i am using pens jammed into the braces to type with so its not a lot of fun)
best to you
Robert
LOL, yeah I thought of that one along with the "hurt while saving puppies in a burning house etc....."
Well a few days turned into longer than I thought as my hands have not been getting better as I hoped.
Just went to see a specialist (more than one but one that specializes in this type of thing) and he said it is from overuse and the only thing was to rest them. My wife made a good point that at least that was probably the best thing I could have been told.
I am still trading most of the time (I actually have taken some time off due to vacation with the family and for doctor appointments for my hands)
Since my last post I have made gains of +2889 on a mark to market basis as of the close Friday. (actually higher as IB is not reporting some gains from interest with BP bonds I bought)
I am now trading from my new home and like it very much as the drive time has been cut down dramatically. : o )
The best part is the house is nicer and bigger but does not cost any more as a result of saving on rent for the office and being able to take the home office deduction etc.....
I am busy moving my blog to a new host as I consolidate my hosting needs into one and when that is complete I plan to post my trades/results here again everyday assuming my hands are doing better.

Sorry to read about your hands. Is it carpal tunnel? My wife deals with that, and pulls out the braces at work quite often after too much typing. I look forward to you feeling better and continuing your posts. Will your blog address change when you move to a different provider?
Take it easy
Take it easy
Thank you Tac,
No, not a nerve issue as I was tested for that in both hands. It appears a tendon issue and / or muscle around the hands/forearm
resting the hands/wrists and they are getting better. Trading is still going well and I am looking forward to posting as my consistent gains are really nice.
I think maybe next week I could be back daily.
Thanks again
Robert
is it just wrist tendonitis? i lift weights and i get it reasonably often, just takes some time to heal thats all.Maybe 2 months?
