In essence, the way I view my job is that my opportunities are only limited by my imagination. I believe that being an energy trader is analagous to being a professional athlete. I have an athletic background, and as a result I enjoy the competitive nature of trading. It is very easy to keep score in trading. You are either making money or losing money.
Every day is different.
I am continually learning. At times I feel overwhelmed with all that there is to learn in trading energy products. That's the great thing about this job. There is no average day. This market can be extremely volatile during times of very hot or cold weather.
