I never expected that many of my deep thoughts about trading and strategies now come to me while I'm swimming. If you think about it, the only time I can truly calm my mind to think about problems without looking at my phone, computer, news, or social media gossip is indeed when I'm swimming.

If I were in Shanghai, having to deal with traffic and parking to get to the swimming pool, being able to go even once a week would be great. This might also be why I love Singapore so much, because every community has a complete swimming pool.

I swim about a kilometer almost every day, which takes about 40 minutes. During those 40 minutes, I can't be disturbed by any external factors and can only think about what I need to do next, including trading. It's very beneficial; many of my strategy ideas this year have come to me while swimming.
