The sunset glow spread between the high-rises, and the purple ambient lights inside the car had just come on. I sat in the passenger seat, phone in hand. The candlestick chart on the laptop beside me was still open, but my eyes kept drifting out the window.
Since I started trading, every jump in the numbers has made my heart tense up a little. But this city, with its lights slowly flickering on, doesn’t seem in a hurry to give me any answers.
$SOXL , the 3x leveraged semiconductor ETF, edged down slightly on Tuesday; $CL , crude oil futures, corresponded to U.S. crude rebounding from a two-month low; $INTC , stock derivatives, corresponded to Intel and Altera teaming up to develop an edge AI sensing solution.
I lowered my phone a little. Somehow, that curving high-rise and the pink-orange clouds felt more worth remembering than the ups and downs of my account.
Being able to follow the market closely and still enjoy a sunset in peace—that kind of ease feels precious to me.
