Trading Profitably - while getting shit done.

Productive, profitable, and more importantly - practical.
Can’t beat days like this… Got a mountain of shit done, and made some money too!

Now, normally, if I can’t give a trade attention, I don’t bother.
I’ve been burned too many times… Way too many times…
Price always seems to crash when I’m not paying attention.

But humans are built to multitask, and I’ve got a bankroll to build here.
Something flexible, like chores around the house… I can totally keep an eye on my trades while I do this.

So I spent a few minutes looking for the perfect coin to trade… It had to be moving slow, but steady. That way I can check in every once in a while and not miss much.

After finding a position I liked, I set up my orders and started my house duties. It was the typical bullshit that we put off all week…

Laundry… vacuum… you know, all the domestic shit everyone hates.

Some time after I started my house work, my buy went through. I checked in a bit later and it was still floating at the same price.

Great!

By the time I was done vacuuming, the coin had dropped and hit my stop loss.
Damnit.. Not a good start.
Thankfully, I had plenty more chores to do...

Said no one ever.

But I did get two more trades in today - both went very well.
I was already halfway to my goal!

When we hear about making money through trading, we picture 8 monitors, a dozen empty energy drinks, a chair-toilet hybrid…

Yes, you should always pay attention to your trades… but life is about balance.
I'd love to tell you that I’m always glued to my screen, but the tools available to us make it easier than ever to profitably ignore your positions.

Sometimes it's just not practical to spend all afternoon staring at the screen… sometimes you just have to live life and work with what you've got.

Do you do anything you shouldn't?
