[Soultrader]

As a full-time trader I find trading requires 100% concentration and the discipline to stick with the markets everyday. Any time I take a break from trading, it takes me several sessions to get back in the game.

Like an athlete, missing several training sessions can get you off the game. Similar in trading, I find it necessary to be involved in it everyday. This allows me to be in sync with market action and understand the complete language of the markets.

By being involved everyday, I am able to recognize and memorize all key price levels and the bigger picture of market action. Clues and small pieces of market information are so important in making daily trading decisions. I find it very hard to take any breaks or a vacation. Even when I am not trading, I need to go over market action and go through my charts.

Does anyone else feel the same way?
