I used to have a tendency to let loose of my cash regardless of what the market was doing. I just HAD to play or else would become bored. Or felt left out. Unfortunately, I wasn't left out of enough trades. Sure, it's boring, but boredom also means preservation of capital.
Boredom means patience.
Boredom means discipline. Boredom also means reading articles, manuals, game plans and other information about trading. And waiting for the right time to play. Boredom is beautiful. Mastering the art of boredom is profitable.
