If you're wishing you could escape the snow?
















Calgary has been inundated with a winter storm of significant ferocity. Travel and schedules of virtually everything have been forced to a standstill. As is natural, we make out like it is the biggest inconvenience in the world, and why did this have to happen.

Trading is fascinating pursuit that teaches you some boundaries around perspectives and expectations. In so many respects it is easy to let our minds negate all that is good with our being. A trader has to remind themselves of that on a consistent and repetitive basis (or at least I do). It is a level of "faith" that transcends many different levels. It is a "matching of energies", that of the market and of the trader, merging and becoming the flow.

The energy of the storm placed upon us upsets the balance that we thought we had. We had plans. We had places to go. We have people to meet. The weather (and the market) doesn't really care. So the energy that we put into being ****enter your own personal choice**** is a dead end path. Channel that energy into some productive, for you to enjoy. Wait. Time will provide the opportunity necessary. Patience and Timing, important not only in trading, but suits us well in everyday life as well.

One of the most profound and meaningful things that I have learned from my trading experiences is summed up by a phrase my trading room moderator told me: A House Full of Gratitude Has No Place For Fear To Hide. Thank you Dale Kazdan.
