People who trade inevitably develop a few occupational quirks.
Let me start with a few of my own:
First, my phone is always on ring— even when I sleep. I’m afraid that when the market moves, I’ll miss something if I don’t hear it. Sometimes the phone vibrates in the middle of the night, and I immediately wake up, reach for it, and check the quotes. Other times it’s just some junk text message, but I’m already awake and can’t fall back asleep for half the night.
Second, I eat extremely fast. When I was trading futures, if the market moved, I wouldn’t have time to eat at all. I’d just shove a couple of bites in and then stare at the screen. Even now, when things aren’t as tense, I still eat quickly—I can’t change it. When I have meals with friends, they’re still slowly chatting, and I’ve already finished. Then I just sit there and wait.
Third, I’m sensitive to red and green. If I go to a supermarket and see price tags that are red or green, the first thing that pops into my mind is the candlestick chart. While driving and waiting at a red light, when it turns green, the very first word that comes to mind is “it broke through.” Sounds pretty ridiculous, but it’s really a conditioned reflex.
And fourth, I don’t like talking trade with people. In real life, when others ask what I do, I say I work in internet-related things, or that I’m doing investments—I don’t get into details. It’s not that I don’t want to talk; it’s just that once I explain, nobody really understands. And when I talk about market conditions with people outside the circle, the more I talk, the more exhausting it gets.
What about you? After you started trading, what bad habit or “quirk” did you end up with?
Come chat in the room and let’s see whether everyone’s symptoms are the same.
