    We market speculators collectively make markets and provide liquidity to the markets. In doing so we absorb risk making participation less risky for more conservative market participants such as investors and hedgers. In return, we reserve the right to profit from our speculations. To someone who believes in a capitalistic system, there is nothing unethical about this. And I am certainly not alone in sharing profits with charitable interests as well as with family and friends.

    As far as bored...no, when things are slow I pick up a guitar and run scales or practice riffs or get up and do bits of wing chun, tai chi or qigong form. I also watch music, martial arts, inspirational or philosophical videos on YouTube. I like my life.

    There are ALWAYS plenty of fresh new trends each day.

    Put a simple 200-period moving average on enough charts (stocks, futures, Forex) and you will find them.

    Now go get them Tiger.

    Real traders are never bored. They are always studying and researching the markets uncovering and waiting for the new/next opportunity(ies).

    Until you get months-long drawdowns by buying at ATH. So not so boring.

    You know the cliche'...Daytrading (or flying or golfing or whatehaveyou) is 95% sheer boredom punctuated by 5% sheer terror.

    Swing trading at ATH is the opposite. (95% sheer terror (drawdown) punctuated with 5% sheer boredom (wimpy profits).
