What do you do during trading hours?

#54
Usually I'm working. But it doesn't mean that I am a bad trader. I use D1 time frame and it's enough to have a short look on the chart every hour.

As I do my Predictive Analysis on each Sunday, marking important Key Price Levels, Over Sold & Over Bought Regions, which pair moved more compared to other pairs in my portfolio of 13 pairs, etc ... My trading days are less stressful ...
As I trade FX, I do not need to worry about Daily Gap up and/or gap downs ... And I can do Swing trading on 4H TF and positional trading on D TF with this knowledge ... That way, I have to check my trades once in 4H for swing trades and once for my Pos trades ...
Though, I do trade intra day during London session, even these trades are towards the HTF trend. That way, I check trades at the end of each candle.
In this 9 hours of London session, I write blogs in various FX sites, answer questions, listen to old classical songs, listen to instruments etc.
My Ophthalmologist had advised 20-20-20, about 2 years ago, which I do very religiously to keep my eyes less drained . This 20-20-20 is ... Each 20 Min's ... look and stare at something (preferably Green trees / water or plain white only) which is 20 feet away for 20 seconds ... This helped and helps my eyes big time ...
Trading has to be big time boring to be consistently profitable. For this I have 2 simplest rules ...
Rule number 1 - If This and This and This happens on HTF (W/D/4H/1H) I Do This and This and This (Limits and Stops, Pending orders etc) on my TTF (D Pos / 4H Swing / 1H intra day) and walk away. The less I stare at screen, the less, I fiddle with my trades and that gives more profit ...
Rule number 2 - If This and This and This does not happen on HTF, DO NOTHING (trade to win, not because I have live acc) and wait for This and This and This to happen.
Rinse, wash and Repeat the same, again and again
