Remember that you can always take a day/week/month off if the market does not look right to you. You don’t have to trade just so you feel that you are working. I take many “breaks” when things don’t look right to me. In fact, numerous times I will do all my research, get up at 5:00 AM and be ready to execute my game plan, only to find out that what I was planning on doing was not doable, for whatever reason, i.e. missed an entry, big gap up/down, bad vibes, etc.

When these conditions present themselves, I will call the local golf course, get an early tee time, and leave the trading desk. I do that, because I know that if I stayed around when I am in the wrong mental state of mind, I could make costly mistakes. I’d rather hit a white ball and get frustrated beyond belief scoring in triple digits than stick around when things don’t feel right.

The beauty of the stock market is that there are always new opportunities to make a trade.
