What Do You Eat when You Trade?

[TheDude 10]

I don't eat when I am trading. Coffee or diet soda, depending on the time of day, yes. Food no. I'll take a lunch break when i am not in a trade, but that is away from the desk.

 

Same here, but drink water or tea if anything.

 

Like you imply, you gotta take a break. All markets have a slow period around lunch time of the time zone it trades in. No paper, no action, so no trades. May as well take time, have a nice lunch, think of other things and return refreshed. Just like the paper/my other side.

 

You trade for the lifestyle and a glued screen monkey nibbling on nuts n bananas aint livin' in my books!! - unless scalping which tends to be a fools errand without v low costs

 

You gotta take a break.
