My Brain on Trading Operations
My brain during trading operations is a chaotic, yet strangely hilarious, place. It's less like a finely tuned machine and more like a squirrel trying to direct air traffic with two walnuts and a kazoo.
One minute I'm meticulously analyzing charts, convinced I've spotted the next big breakout, and the next I'm wondering if I remembered to turn off the coffee machine. Then there's the inevitable moment of doubt, where every perfectly rational decision suddenly feels like a coin flip initiated by a particularly mischievous goblin. My internal monologue goes something like this: "Buy! No, sell! Wait, is that a cat walking across the keyboard or a legitimate dip? Oh, it's just the cat. Maybe I'll buy anyway, just to spite the cat."
And don't even get me started on the moments of panic when the market decides to take an unexpected nosedive. My strategy, which minutes before seemed brilliant, transforms into a hastily scrawled note from a caffeine-deprived conspiracy theorist. It's a miracle anything gets done, but hey, at least it's never boring!
